This Labour government is attacking Reform for talking about changing the NHS to a different healthcare system.

Just to be clear, Labour is also changing the NHS model- turning the NHS into an enormous cash cow for private companies, mining our public asset to make shareholders richer.

Only Israel could machinegun 15 Ambulance Workers with video evidence, and STILL have all the Media defending them.

They are utterly sick as are all the people who lie for them.

Privatisation of essentials fleeces people.

Average annual household energy bill up by £111 to £1,849.

UK has the fourth highest household electricity price in the world.

Companies making record profits, still get subsidies.

Profiteering increases inflation and poverty.

Must nationalise energy.
With bills having gone up, it’s time to take energy back into public ownership
The obscene profits of the energy industry show the sector is broken

Rolls-Royce wants UK subsidies for new engine.

Why can shareholders not fund it?

Govt won't give repayable loan, won't take equity stake. Company will own resulting asset & income streams.

Huge wealth transfer to private hands.

Must check corporate welfare.

🤯 Labour are said to considering a plan for yet more cuts dubbed "Project Chainsaw".

🤔 Didn't Keir Starmer promise 'no more austerity'?

💚 The Green Party is clear - we can't afford more cuts. We would tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services.

Riddle me this why is it we can give £3bn to one failing Water Company to keep it going for another 6 months.

But we need to take £3bn off Disabled People.

Surely it should be the other way around?

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

The 2 places that claim the most Benefits in the UK are Buckingham Palace and Westminster.

They claim outrageous amounts for parties, discount booze, and billions on endless completely unnecessary refurbishments.

If you hate Benefits, start here.

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell.

But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore.

The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry.

The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are.

So do you care?

So who should bear the cost? It's such an obvious question that you have to ask why it wasn't asked.

The problem with Margaret Thatcher is that she was a scumbag who looted the UK for her Neo-Conservative buddies, and she gave some crumbs to cover it up.

In her 11 years in charge she sold enough national assets to fund the NHS for 50 years.

What did you get?

A discount council house, at most.

Imagine instead of making money from ripping people off, underpaying them, and building up massive debts that you default on.

You instead made money by providing excellent service to people.

That's Socialism.

Just Elon Musk vapidly retweeting Netanyahu claiming that the International Criminal Court decision against him personally was an "antisemitic decision". Bizarre.

America is going to a very dark place - and America and Europe are drifting apart on many issues.

Me? I'm with Europe.

It would have taken Elon Musk nearly 20 million years working at the US minimum wage, spending nothing, and paying no tax to get the wealth he has now.

We need to tax the billionaires until there aren't any.
