When you witness the extent of the rise in private healthcare in this country - like the literal square footage & number of buildings going up - you start to realise the decimation of the NHS has been being constructed for *decades*.

A party that does not recognize this has given up on the basic principles of social democracy
a society where "bad immigrants" are demonised is a society where no immigrant can truly feel welcome, because aren't we all just one wrong turn or accident away from being unemployed? on disability benefits? unable to care for our children without state help? just no such thing as a safe immigrant

Black people don’t count as working class in the UK because, when they express concern for their health and safety due to racist policies, they are sneering and looking down on “the ordinary voter” - who is always white and simultaneously above them and beneath them in society.
Enraging to have grown up around working class black people who came to the UK and broke themselves for it only to be told that their host nation still has “legitimate concerns” about them being there.

Hi hi, I saw one of your talks advertised but I can't make it. Are you planning to do any talks in Brum at any point? That'd be real lovely I reckon.

I really miss Birmingham twitter. Remember, what it was like, in 2009/10/11? Remember those early years? This higgeldly-piggeldy public square. Where you made friends, and pretend enemies (who you later made friends with over an irl cuppa). You spoke to important ppl as they went to work.

This RIBA article is so very disgusting to read, given the reality of the catalogue of failures of this shiny hellhole. I hope Cagni Williams, HKS, Sonneman Toon are ashamed, heartbroken, or both. www.ribaj.com/buildings/mi...
Creating an impression: Midlands’ massive hospital
There’s no missing the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, both for its imposing size and its ambition to nurture wellbeing and recovery

Mould, damp, and broken air conditioning. I wasn't making it up, that I couldn't breathe at the shiny £1billion hospital.

WATCH: Tour the Midland Metropolitan Hospital being finished with £300m public cash
It has stood idle, gathering mould as water seeped inside.
