If you don’t want politicians re-writing history for political gain please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call out this absolute rubbish with the actual facts. If UK news shows are not up to the job let’s do it ourselves
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

The stakes are high 🚨
The government is pushing ahead with private partnerships for new neighbourhood health centres (the same model that left us £21bn in debt).
We need to investigate. Expose. Hold them accountable.

🏥 Hospitals built with PFI were found to be 70% more expensive than public builds.
Private partnerships were costly and ineffective last time — saddling the NHS with decades of debt.
So why bring them back… and who really benefits? 👀

A year of reasons why Ofwat must say NO to Thames Water's outrageous deal - to pollute our water for 15 years.
MARCH: in what becomes a pattern of devious behaviour, Thames begs Ofwat for leniency.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: poverty is a political choice.
The two-child benefit cap is a political choice. Cutting disability benefits is a political choice. Cutting winter fuel payments is a political choice.

Very good point. Sick of the obstacle race to cancellations.
My nomination: you have to be able to cancel a subscription in the same way you make it. If you can sign up online at the click of a button, you better have a button to cancel too.
The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as…
Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.
What little fixes'd you want?
