"Economists at LSE found 16,400 firms stopped exporting goods to the EU."

Brexit is punishing the small businesses driving the British economy and employment.

Tomorrow!! Putney and Roehampton residents are fed up with the daily impact of the closure of Hammersmith Bridge nearly 7 years ago and the 6 bus routes that used it.

The Government wants new water laws that lock us into decades of rip-off privatisation - without asking the public.

82% of Brits support public ownership. You won’t get a say.

Stop the stitch-up. Demand a real public consultation: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st...

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:

* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc

AND

* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero

I kid you not, it is that stupid

Wes Streeting promised to "consign corridor care to history."

But words are not enough.

We need action, not guidance. We need a clear plan, not promises.

Join thousands of people demanding Wes Streeting take immediate action to end corridor care today 👉 bit.ly/end-corridor...

We oppose PFI for more than the billions in debt it leaves behind.

Inflexible, poor-value maintenance contracts siphon money from patient care and lock trusts into bad deals.

The NHS — its staff & patients — deserve better.

The PCR positivity map is out and it's a mixed picture.

National positivity is fairly stable but locally it's very variable, reflected by increased admissions and doubled positivity rate of GP swabs.

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become?

🏥 Hospitals built with PFI were found to be 70% more expensive than public builds.

Private partnerships were costly and ineffective last time — saddling the NHS with decades of debt.

So why bring them back… and who really benefits? 👀

It’s hard work keeping up with all the positive announcements from Labour this week And a few around the economy. Sit back and enjoy a Government working for its citizens. They’re in their stride now. 👏👏👏

this is insane

On the whole customs union debate, worth bearing a few things in mind. The 'research' on which the claims of economic benefit are based isn't about a CU but about the EU accepting 'deep alignment on goods and services' - which it won't. 1/3

The BBC has a lot of problems

But Justin Webb spending nearly 15 mins talking to Minister turned Spectator editor Michael Gove on #R4Today about Covid inquiry

And not mentioning this?!

This is our money he was involved in handing out

Odd coverage of the #covidinquiry by the Today Programme.

1/ How does the COVID Inquiry's Module 2 report align with what we said in @independentsage.bsky.social at the time? A 🧵on Transparency, Early & Decisive Action, Scientific Advice, Integration of Social & Economic Harms, Communication and Behavioural Science, Governance, Data and Preparedness

Totally agree, Alice.💪

We should also lift ludicrous restrictions on bringing dependents that have caused a massive decline in overseas applications for PhDs, Masters courses etc...

The system based on tuition fees is ludicrous and unsustainable already without cutting a major income source 🙄
