Starmer’s government totally, and without any shadow of a doubt are complicit with Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Our information about how politicians are privatising the NHS is reaching millions of people. We think Starmer and Streeting are about to announce a plan for even *more* NHS privatisation 🚨

Looking forward to hearing why hard pressed working people will have to pay more tax, when the 50 UK families who collectively own £2/3 TRILLION - equal to half the population - remained untouched

72% do not feel that they can influence decisions affecting the UK.

Why? Because our political and economic institutions have been captured by the wealthy.

And our democracy is failing as a result.

For a money sovereign with the ability to create its own money, PFI is about as moronic a solution to any problem that anyone could come up with. Ironically the Govt will have to create more money to pay these debts

It’s easy to lose sight of what billions in PFI debt actually cost.

But behind every figure is a nurse working double shifts, a ward left understaffed, a patient waiting longer.💬

It’s not just numbers - it’s people.

👉 Read full EveryDoctor report: everydoctor.org.uk/nhs-trusts-t...
A tired healthcare worker in scrubs sits on a bench with her head resting on her clasped hands, conveying exhaustion. The text reads, “Billions in interest. Short-staffed care. That’s PFI. Public funds should fund public care.” The image is branded with the EveryDoctor logo, highlighting a message about the financial strain of private financing in public healthcare.

Benefit facts:

Benefits are not the drain media tells us they are

Benefits barely - or don’t - cover the cost of living & don’t permit savings so everything received gets spent

And everything that’s spent benefits the private sector

And everything that is spent in the private sector gets taxed!

Maintaining the status quo is an essential part of the job of the mainstream media.
It is becoming increasingly obvious, in fact, that the role of the media is not only to tell Americans what they should think, but to convince an increasingly angry and alienated public that their neighbors have not come to the same conclusions. The logic is much like that used to dissuade voters from considering third parties: even if the third party challenger states opinions shared by the majority of Americans, Americans are constantly warned not to “waste their vote” for the candidate that actually reflects their views because no one else will vote for that candidate. It’s hard to imagine a more obvious case of a self-fullling prophecy. The result is a mainstream ideology—a kind of conservative centrism that assumes what’s important is always moderation and the maintenance of the status quo—which almost no one actually holds (except of course the pundits themselves), .

Mischaracterised by university leaders as financial ‘saving’, austerity is in truth vandalism. It ravages decades of training, accrued and accredited knowledge, and publicly funded research.

People voting for austerity parties tells me that they don’t know what it means. Governments enacting austerity tells me they don’t know what it means. Economists advising governments to enact austerity tells me that they don’t know what it means. A pyramid of ignorance got us to where we are today.

What is it about Politicians who fight to get into Govt, to be the Govt, to assume power, only to give it all away. No courage, no principles, no vision. Weak, weak, weak. As rotton in the UK as in Australia
