The longest sentence in living memory for peaceful protest, for five people who merely planned a protest act but did not carry it out. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

Former Tory Chancellor & Health Minister Sajid Javid to become partner at private equity firm Centricus. Already collected £450,000 consultancy fees. He destroyed the NHS, wanted to change people for seeing GP and going to A&E. Now hired by paymasters. theguardian.com/politics/artic…

Who to believe, river charity at the forefront of exposing WCs’ greed, corruption and profiteering or @thameswater who test water quality miles away from pollution hotspot and then claim there’s no problem? 🤔 PS. Even the EA admit the water quality at Henley is rubbish. 🤮
James Wallace@jaowallace

Polluters @thameswater publish E.coli data before Regatta: claiming water quality is good TRUTH - No testing on rowing course - Last published test 22/5, 10 days before racing - 4 out of 18 tests above safe levels - over 10% above 900CFU so - @EnvAgency rating poor NOT good 🧵

Thames Water wants 59% price rise and says its ageing assets pose ‘risk to public safety’. It doesn't even have a full map of sewage network. Water companies are responsible for the mess - paid over £85bn dividends, didn't invest in infrastructure. archive.ph/sZOgE

Nigel Farage’s party / private company is being funded by property millionaires, old Etonians, and literally the guy who owns 55 Tufton Street. His “anti-establishment” guise is (as we’ve always known) a complete sham. 📝 My @novaramedia story 👇 novaramedia.com/2024/06/26/nig…

Must watch from the chairman of the British Medical Association, Phil Banfield, "84% of locum GPs in England are struggling to find work" "A third are being forced out of the NHS entirely, driven out by a cheapening of the medical workforce" "The substitution of GPs with alternatives that superficially seem less expensive, but in reality, cost lives" "A lost generation of GPs when the country needs them more than ever" "To have highly qualified doctors turning to other jobs to earn a living while GP practices can't meet the demands placed on them is simply bonkers" "The state of General Practice in the UK is a mess, and it has been created by those in power, who have not only watched but aided and abetted the decline of General Practice" "The ARRS scheme in England which prohibits practices from hiring doctors is a trojan horse to replace and substitute doctors" "Where we need a physio, fund a physio. Where we need a paramedic, fund a paramedic. Where we need a doctor, fund a doctor" "Why has the medical establishment caved into the governments attempts to reduce costs at the expense of people's health?" Thank you @TheBMA for standing up for public health 👏

It is extraordinary that the USA gets treated to a dismantling of the Tory party orders of magnitude better than the tame efforts anyone dares attempt here. (And no, it's not the swearing that makes the difference - it's the accuracy of the attacks.)

Tory Magic Money Tree. PPE worth £1.4bn from single Covid deal destroyed or written off = salaries of 37,000 nurses. In January, govt said that £9.9bn of PPE was written-off. Money hasn't vanished, it ended-up in the pockets on Tory cronies/donors. theguardian.com/world/article/…

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer. The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software. This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this . You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well. Going to have to learn some new tools.

When the Conservatives came to power, around 4% of people had to wait more than 4 hours in A&E. In 2023/24, a ridiculous 28% of people had to wait more than 4 hours in A&E. Please RT if you agree the Conservatives are bad for your health. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an….

Who will ensure that UK general election is fairly conducted; donations, loans, election spending is properly accounted? Electoral Commission is not independent of the govt. Its independence was revoked after it fined the Tory party for breaching rules. leftfootforward.org/2024/05/the-mo…
