Labour have completely sold out, the NHS, the staff and the people. #NHS #Labour

Well yes. If they hadn't been such weak as water, unprincipled tripehounds they wouldn't be frantically rowing back, trying to save face now. It's Labour's mess, make Yvette Cooper own it. #Gaza #Genocide

British Gas resumes force-fitting prepay meters months after £112m settlement. With escalating energy, rents and food bills; and frozen income tax thresholds more people will struggle to heat or eat. More pressure on GPs, hospitals, public services. Squalor is a political choice.

Left: Nigel Farage lays a wreath at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Day Right: Peter Ettedgui, "Farage repeatedly coming up to me and knowing that I am Jewish saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas them' which was frequently followed by a hissing sound of escaping gas"

"Not being in the European Union is saving us net £200million a week. That is a fact," Nigel Farage tells the BBC. This is a complete lie. Brexit has already cost the UK economy hundreds of billions of pounds

This is the world we live in nowadays. Of all the days to talk about spending *even more* money on 'defence', Sky News chooses Remembrance Sunday. And for extra insensitivity, the only choices presented as to 'where the money should come from' are pensions and benefits.

The panel doesn't question whether we need to spend more on bombs. Oh no. Instead they discuss where the money has to come from. And you don't need to watch the clip to know what they say.

Palantir have paid huge sums to former Labour ministers to lobby for this. The NHS sees no convincing patient benefit. Like the US told Trump this week, we're done with big tech corporations taking over our democracy and public assets. Labour won't stand up to them. We will.

Rise in NHS England birth centre closures ‘shocking’ denial of women’s rights. 12 midwife-led maternity units closed since 2019. Privatisation of the NHS by stealth. Consequence of self-imposed fiscal rules; suspended for corporate welfare, not for human welfare.

People have asked me how I feel about nominating Russell Brand a “hero” in 2014. I feel very bad about it. It must have piled on the pain for his victims. I apologise to them. Though there was nothing published about his crimes at the time, I should have read the signs better. I failed to do so.

Despite spending billions, "there is only evidence of a modest AI-driven rise in UK productivity growth", says Bank of England. There are limits to technology. Companies/Govts need to invest in worker skills. Technology shares are overpriced and shake-up is overdue.
