At the Autumn Budget, this government decided to approve new private finance in our NHS.
MPs need to have the facts: private finance is a danger to patients and a rip-off for taxpayers.
✍️ Take 2 mins to write to your MP asking them to attend our 'no new PFI in the NHS' parliamentary briefing.

According to a July 3rd report there are 147,746 full time police officers in the UK.
Individual protests often outnumber *every police officer in the country* multiple times over.
Just something I think is interesting to remember as our government tries to drag us into WW3 on the fascist side.

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use.
So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

I’ll say this for Sir Keir’s Labour: they have been wonderfully revealing on what the actual limits of democracy are in Britain: it’s Thatcherism wearing a variety of different hats at home, and whatever America wants abroad. Don’t like it? Fuck you, we are not debating whether this is good or not.

Guys. Did you know. That when mad nuclear shit was being discovered in the 1930s/40s, scientists were worried that the Nazis could get uranium for bombs from Congo - then under Belgian occupation. And their solution. Was. ‘Albert Einstein is friends with the queen of Belgium, get him to have a word’

I absolutely love Nick's fact, but also, mine is, JoJo's 'Too Little Too Late' (2006) was nearly recorded by the fucking Pussycat Dolls. I think in its own way that's just as much to ponder.
There are more combinations of a standard deck of playing cards than there are atoms on earth. If you give a deck of cards a good shuffle, the resulting combination has almost certainly never existed before in human history.
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

Gervais, 2007: you’d never hear ‘a starving African’ complaining about having ME
Nigeria, 2006: our study estimates a 0.68% national prevalence of ME
Gervais: a made-up disease you don’t hear of in ‘third world countries’
