Curse of Private Equity.

Four of UK's biggest dental firms have raked in £1.2bn gross profit over the past two years,

Market controlled by My Dentist, PortmanDentex, Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services.

Prices 3.5 times more than NHS dentist.

No govt curbs profiteering.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

The Covid enquiry: “Too little, too late. Scientists ignored”.

The Climate crisis: Too little, too late. Scientists being ignored.

Maybe best for all if we simply ignore the self-serving anti-science deniers, most notably Trump, Farage, Tice, Reform U.K. in general, along with the US GOP.

Today is a year since the devastating Valencia flash flood which killed 229 people. It was a climate change induced event, much as #Melissa is & also the extreme floods in Da Nang, Vietnam yesterday. Why then are the climate deniers esp. in Reform U.K. not being challenged? 🤔

Well we don't have dodge bullets at school.
Or ICE thugs coming to kidnap us if we don't have white skin.
Or soldiers marching down the streets, dropping tear gas bombs from helicopters, for literally no reason at all.

So it's not quite as hard as growing up in the USA.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Amazing bit of 2019 footage this.

Frei doing a great job of trying to hold Farage to account as he and Nathan Gill go walkabout.

And I suspect Farage will come to regret his quip at the end about Russians if it does the rounds again.
Nathan’s mate Nigel sure did seem to want to brush it all away when questioned by Matt Frei back in 2019.
