Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

Oh, and this:

The private sector already receives 20% of NHS funding, whilst only helping 10% of NHS patients.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS - yet one fifth of the health service budget goes to it
Numerous studies have found private equity is associated with worse patient outcomes due to NHS privatisation - and 'preventable deaths'

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously.

In other news, here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Despite what politicians say, in my experience NHS patients aren’t bothered about ‘choosing their healthcare provider’. They just want their local NHS hospital to function properly. But guess who loves it? Private companies seeking to infiltrate the NHS🚨

Ed Miliband promised a "rooftop revolution." It seems to have stalled even before the barricades.

Sadiq Khan promised a "retrofit revolution* but now says he needs government permission.

We need less noise & actual action to tackle climate crisis.

Instead of using the last days of his presidency to call for peace, Joe Biden has poured more money into arming Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

A shameful indictment of his administration and its complicity in genocide.

Jimmy Carter will be laid to rest not in Arlington, but beside his wife, Rosalynn Carter, at their residence in Plains, Georgia.

Of course, he will be. That is the man he was. No one expected anything less.

Not sure I can stomach any more conversations going something like:

'Centrist': "Why don't you support Keir Starmer? He's so much better than the Tories."

Me: "He's literally arming a genocidal regime."

'Centrist': "Yeah, that is really bad, but..."

Jimmy Carter left one last parting gift for Trump after his death at 100 on Sunday. Since the American flag flies at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings after the death of a former president, on Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, all flags will be at half-staff in Carter's honor.

If you are ordering the evacuation of life saving hospitals, you are clearly in the wrong.

Who left in the world doesn't see this genocide for what it is?

So why on earth are the UK, US and so many others still supporting genocide? It is illegal and immoral. Not in my name.

Anyone think Starmer is a Farage enabler ? In my mind it was obvious from the moment he gifted him a seat after getting the popular Labour candidate to stand down plus the way he has alienated almost everyone since reinforces that thought

Today two of the State of Israel's most high-profile UK assets — Luciana Berger and Mike Katz were placed in the House of Lords after multiple rejections by the electorate.

It is deeply alarming that Jewish supremacists can decide who should make laws in the so called ‘Sovereign’ Britain.
