Why govts including+especially ours, need to realise their strengths+act to regulate #socialmedia. We’re in a bare knuckle fight for access to truthful information IMO. The defunding of the BBC,+its subsequent pivot to the American market, is risky for our democracy in the long-term. t.co/9UIV22smID

Quick reminder that the NHS was built just after the Second World War, when the population had endured unimaginable trauma and the country was broke.

The ‘it’s broken and it can’t be fixed’ line is just political rhetoric. Of course it can be fixed - it’s a question of political will.

This is unutterably stupid. Political donations should have been reformed YEARS ago.

We don't want a knee-jerk "stop-Farage" law; we just want a democracy that isn't a corruptible plaything of the rich, whether it's Lord Sainsbury, Frank Hester or Elon Musk.
