Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...
A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation
For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Big pharma picking our pockets.

Advanz, the sole supplier of liothyronine tablets (thyroid drug) in the UK, hiked price from £20 to £248 per box – an increase of over 1,110%.

Corporations devour everything, have no ethics.

Must return to Labour's 2019 manifesto - govt to produce generic drugs.
Court upholds CMA’s £99m fine on pharma over excessive NHS thyroid drug prices
The Court of Appeal has unanimously upheld the CMA’s finding that Advanz broke the law by overcharging the NHS for essential thyroid drug liothyronine.

If President Trump were a Russian asset planted to undermine and destroy the West from within would he be doing anything differently to what he is currently?

My 20 yr old daughter greeted me at the door as I came in from work. Before any conversation she tells me that according to the NEWS!! Mummy Pig is pregnant!
She was, however, more interested that this came from Peppa Town. Was her town named after her or the other way round?

Next you'll suggest all those COVID PPE contracts were given to unsuitable companies simply because they made donations to the Tory's!...
Political donations are institutionalized bribery.

Donors get access to policymakers, shape laws, tax privileges, lax regulations, govt contracts/subsidies, honours, power.

Banning political donations is a necessary step for free and fair elections and democracy

How our democracy has been hijacked by corporations and wealthy elites
The only effective remedy is to ban all private donations, or bribes, to political parties.

The EU used to enforce standards on water pollution.

But then we “took back control” – and lost control of sewage on our beaches:

The EU previously acted as a watchdog on sewage pollution

My 74 year old father has "taken a fall" whist on holiday. He's not badly hurt so you know! However, my partner has asked at what age do you go from just "falling over" to the more ancient sounding "taken a fall"?

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.
