A good question from @thedauk.bsky.social

Why do we have a desperate shortage of GP’s when there are 3,500 under and unemployed GP’s? It makes no sense

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

🚨NHS dentistry has effectively ceased to exist for new patients

The government has so far offered no timetable for key pledges:

❌700,000 urgent dental appts
❌Dental Contract Reform

@thebda.bsky.social is calling for urgent action if NHS dentistry is to be saved

Privatisation of healthcare.

UK patients unable to get dental care after ‘eye-watering’ rise in private fees.

£775 for root canal work, £435 for tooth extraction, £325 for a white filling.

People pull their own teeth, face health hazards, companies profit.

Farage would have us believe that he's hugely popular with young men.

Seems that young people have a rather different view on the matter.

The only achievement of the Royal Family is using the entire power of Government and the Media to convince a small number of people that they actually do anything.

Starmer is the only game in town. And he needs to start telling a story that isn't about the shit the Tories left - we know all that! Reeves can be Bad Cop, but we need Good Cop now.

People need a reason to keep faith in politics.

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

World’s biggest bank shuns UK bonds over minimum wage fears.

Pathetic. Millionaires at JP Morgan resent that the poor may be able to afford food, housing, education, pension.

Can't recall bankers concerned about dangers from their own speculation & profiteering.

It is class war.

UK PM, Chancellor, business secretary order the FCA, Ofgem, Ofwat, other regulators to come up with ideas to boost economic growth of their industries.

It is a race-to-the-bottom and bonfire of people's rights.

Remember deregulation and the 2008 crash.
