When did he become everyone's qualified doctor?

Mental health cases are rocketing because people are having a shit time and can't access mental health services until they reach crisis point.

It's not rocket science. It's declining living standards, lack of decent opportunities and insecurity.

If you're looking for a reminder of why we must fight tooth and nail to protect the #NHS... Private health insurance, and whom it denies care, is beyond unjust, it's criminal.

This is so mistaken and perverse. We need a BAN on driven grouse shooting. Not licensing, which gives a stamp of approval to an activity that will always be destructive and cruel.
What is the RSPB for?
We need grouse moor licensing in England now.

It's time for new legislation to make it happen.
It is a Time for Change in places like the Dark Peak. Grouse moor licensing can be a win-win solution to what so many are calling for - sustainable land management and more nature in our uplands.

We're putting the super-rich in the spotlight.

Launched today at #COP29, this new report lays out why the richest people in the world must pay what they owe – to help fix the climate crisis AND much more 💰

It's time to #TaxTheirBillions.

The tenant farmers who wish to own their own land some day currently compete with the ultra-rich who buy farmland because of the inheritance tax break.

So some of these are (quietly) hopeful the reform might benefit them – working farmers – over landowners. Opposition is not as united as it looks.
A rural Labour MP tells me they think the party can weather the storm from farmers over inheritance tax.

There are a huge number of tenant farmers who are disengaged from it - they don't have huge assets. And of course only a few hundred estates over all will be affected
