Spain has made it a serious crime with up to Life imprisonment if anyone sends arms to Israel.

The rest of the world need to do the same.

No weapons for War Criminals.

Private healthcare executives were invited onto Wes Streeting’s working groups to help draft Labour’s 10-Year Health Plan.

This is outrageous. A plan for the NHS should reflect the needs of patients and the public, not private sector interests.

Text reads “The NHS 10-Year Plan should have been guided by those who know it best — frontline staff and patients. But private healthcare executives got a seat at the table.” Below are logos of InHealth, Spire (SV), United Healthcare, and Independent Healthcare Providers Network.

A person in business attire grips a rope in a tug-of-war pose with text reading “Profit vs Patients. The plan includes partnerships with private firms, digital systems led by tech giants, and focus on cost-cutting, not care.” A quote from Dr Julia Patterson reads, “Why should the corporations which seek to profit from the NHS be allowed a seat at the table?”

A background of the door to Number 10 Downing Street with text reading “Why It Matters. This could accelerate NHS privatisation with decisions being made behind closed doors.” A QR code and a red button labeled “Read more” appear below.

Farage tries to portray himself as a 'man of the people', yet he's earning over £1 million from side jobs alone

Nigel Farage now earns over £1 million from his 12 ‘second jobs’

The Reform leader has raked in a further £189,000 from side jobs since May this year

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies.

They've not invested. Instead they've taken out £80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with £70 billion in debt.

Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

Building following is quite a slog here, though, if you weren't one of the early Starter Packs people. Like I get more followers on my completely unused Twitter account than I do here -- although admittedly the people here are mostly humans.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Defend Our Juries is going ahead today as it should.
It is a decision of the Met Commissioner and the Home Secretary to prioritise sending police there instead of defending shuls

Every day the police decide which crimes to pursue as they keep telling us that they can't do everything

The greatest threat to our democracy, freedom, and human rights is not Farage. It is the overwhelming majority of the British news media.

They promote Farage, and they protect Farage.

If they carry on like this, we will soon have no democracy.

Shabana Mahmood conflating a terrorist attack with peaceful protesters is the height of political irresponsibility and a disgusting attempt to divide people. She is no better than the Nigel Farage's and Tommy Robinson's of this world.
