Streeting can call it PPP or PFI, it’s still a scam that means public money goes to feed private companies’ profits when it should be directly invested into the NHS. Just as with every other public service, privatisation makes things WORSE. @kevinbonavia.bsky.social

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: 69 NHS trusts owe £21.1bn to private companies.

That’s money that should fund doctors, nurses + patient care. Together, we can hold politicians accountable + demand better.

Are Labour really going to try and tie current economic damage (and hence the need for further tax rises) to Farage and to Brexit, whilst at the same time insisting that persevering with Brexit is the right thing to do?

That feels like gaslighting of the very highest order.

UK travellers to pay cost of EU border delays

Sure… just add it onto the ginormous tab.
And, while you’re at it, Brexiters, STFU about any Brexit benefits, sovereignty or control.

(iPaper)

UK travellers to pay cost of EU border delays

Extract:

UK travellers who miss connections, events or cruises due to new EU border control rules will have to shoulder the costs of delays, experts warn.
Long queues are expected at airports and ports across the EU as a new biometric system is rolled out for passengers entering the Schengen zone, including those travelling rom the UK
Airports in countries including Germany, Greece and Portugal introduced checks under the new Entry/Exit System (EES) yester-day. The system will be fully in place across the zone by 9 April, 2026.

God Labour is dumb sometimes. Private housebuilders have zero interest in building low cost #housing as it would reduce their profit margin. How much evidence do they need that social housing can only be built by govt - local or central. See Vienna, Finland or even Singapore!

Anthony Painter @anthonypainter.bsky.social · 9h

These plans to cut affordable housing requirements in London highlight the absurdity of the system. Basically, when supply slows housebuilders have the system over a barrel. And so what gets delivered does not meet the biggest needs- for low cost housing.
