Each time I read one of Jody McIntyre's threads about the machinations of Starmer's Labour Party, it never fails to astonish me that the levels of absolute corruption dispensed by these political ghouls know no bounds. It is also unconscionable that there seems to be zero accountability from the Code of Conduct Committee, the regulators, the watchdogs, and the MSM. It falls to a small number of investigative journalists to uncover the systemic rot at the core of our political system, and those journalists are vilified and defamed for their research.

🚨Morgan McSweeney is gone, for now. But an MP who served on Labour’s frontbench has passed me details of an unknown and unelected group who “rule with a rod of iron” and are fighting to retain control of the party. These are the names of McSweeney’s “inner circle”: 🧵

Thames Water's creditors want to set a new low for privatised water by asking Ofwat to sign off on a deal which allows them to break the rules. Ofwat are poised to agree. We can't let them. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-th…

Private equity entity deceptively named Family First Group closed Hackney Day Nursery and Preschool. PE devours, usual story - high prices, lack of investment, assets sweated. No long-term commitment. How long before a block of flats appears on the site? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The UK can afford State Pensions. Properly funded Universal Healthcare. No University fees. Government run Energy, Water and Housing. What it can't afford is the billionaires blocking all of these things. YOU choose which you want. I'm picking NO billionaires.

Bloody appalling. Just like Blair did to registered nurse training numbers His gov claimed we didn’t need as many RNs as less qualified could do the work. Now we are suffering the consequences of this in spades !!!!
Dr Haseena Wazir@DrHWazir

Most people assume that if the NHS needs more specialist doctors, the Government would train more of them. But that’s not actually what’s happening. The Government can decide how many specialist training jobs exist each year. They can increase them, reduce them, or remove them entirely. These numbers are a political decision. So when the Government removes 1,000 future NHS specialist training jobs, that is an active choice to have 1,000 fewer future NHS specialists. That means fewer potential radiologists reading scans. Fewer potential surgeons doing operations. Fewer potential anaesthetists running theatres. Fewer potential psychiatrists and GPs seeing patients. At a time when waiting lists are in the millions and patients are waiting months or years to see specialists, the Government has actively chosen to reduce the number of future specialists. That doesn’t just punish doctors. It punishes patients and the NHS as a whole, because it means fewer potential specialists and longer waits in the future. And the most concerning part is why this happened. These training jobs were discussed in the context of negotiations with doctors. That means specialist training jobs, and therefore future NHS specialists, were being treated as something that could be added or removed depending on whether doctors accepted Government terms. That is not workforce planning. That is using future NHS specialists as leverage. The Government can create more NHS specialists if it wants to. It can reduce waiting lists faster if it wants to. It can train more doctors if it wants to. Yet they’ve chosen not to. This was a political choice that this Labour Government have made. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/04/the-go…

America has a Senate. Australia has a Senate. Canada has a Senate. Most democracies have two chambers - one elected, one providing scrutiny. Why does Britain still have 800 unelected lords? Should we finally build a democratic second chamber?

High time the media informed the public that the gov is paying out £25-£75m a year to train PAs while earning more than Drs, & not studied medicine. Yet @wessstreeting @Keir_Starmer are cutting training placements for Drs. It's blatantly obvious they don't want pts to have Drs.

The damage Keir Starmer has done and is doing to Britain cannot be understated. Ex-soldier and Traitors winner Harry Clark just told LBC he would "probably not" fight for the UK in 2026. "Especially how the country is nowadays and how hard it is to live... what am I fighting for?" We no longer stand for freedom and peace like we used to. Starmer has turned Britain into an authoritarian police state, cracking down on protest, free speech, and everyday life while ordinary people struggle. This is what happens when patriotism is destroyed and the country no longer feels worth defending. Resign! 😡

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

It was an honour to speak at the historic Paris Bourse du travail last night. It was a huge anti war meeting building the London peace conference on 20 June. You can see the whole meeting with my contribution and that of the RMT’s Alex Gordon here: facebook.com/share/v/1FT6hQ…

France, Spain and Norway all have wealth taxes on the very richest. Britain doesn't. With public services crumbling and food banks at record demand, should those sitting on tens of millions be asked to contribute more - or would it just drive wealth offshore?

We never rejected the 1000 places. We rejected an offer that fails on pay, tried to lock us into below inflation deals, is full of vague promises for LEDs, and we worry you can’t deliver it. Stop tweeting. There’s still time for a credible offer to call off these strikes.
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk

We offered to bring forward 1,000 specialty training places for resident doctors. The BMA rejected this. It's now impossible to get those places live in time for this year. This doesn't mean fewer doctors. Resident doctors will still be in post, treating patients.

The finance ministers of Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain have called for windfall taxes on the big oil companies raking in superprofits from the energy crisis. Over to you, Ms Reeves.

For most of my political lifetime, Hannah Spencer's views would have been indistinguishable from those of a pretty run of the mill Labour MP. That's why opinion column hit pieces depicting the Greens as 'far left' are garnering such little traction.
