GET A GRIP
GET A GRIP@docrussjackson·
🚨 What Has The Labour Government Done? I didn’t vote for @UKLabour in #GE2024 and have been highly critical of both Labour and Starmer. Polling shows pretty much everyone is dissapointed, and Labour has faced formidable difficulties in its PR - much of it self-inflicted. In short, Labour has found it virtually impossible to persuade the public of its achievements and virtually no-one is aware of any of the good things that have happened. This is partly because of mainstream news media, including a highly critical @BBC, but also because the Government has chosen to foreground measures which indicate that they don’t intend to behave like a Labour Government at all: e.g., abolishing the winter fuel allowance; cutting disability benefits; demonising and taking a hardline on immigration and especially asylum seekers; and reneging on its promises to reinstate welfare payments to couples with more than two children (almost all of them at least partially reversed, but after the damage was done). So in the interests of balance, here’s a list of things that have been introduced since July 2024 that for some mysterious reason, many voters aren’t even aware of: 1. #NHS and Health Put an extra £29 billion into the NHS – one of the largest funding boosts in many years. Delivered over 4–5 million extra NHS appointments in the first year (more than double the original target of 2 million). NHS waiting lists have fallen by around 230,000–312,000 – the lowest level in two years. Gave above-inflation pay rises to NHS staff and ended long-running junior doctor strikes. Recruited around 1,700–2,000 more GPs and introduced the first new GP contract in four years. Started free breakfast clubs in hundreds of primary schools. 2. Jobs, Wages, and Worker Rights Raised the National Living Wage – giving over 3 million people a pay rise (a full-time worker aged 21+ gets roughly £900–£1,400 extra per year). Passed the Employment Rights Act – the biggest upgrade to worker rights in a generation, including: Day-one protection against unfair dismissal for many workers. Ending exploitative zero-hour contracts (right to guaranteed hours and notice of shifts). Sick pay from day one for more low-paid workers. Better rights to flexible working, paternity leave, and parental leave. AND attracted £100–120 billion in new private investment, helping create more than 380,000 new jobs. 3. Housing and Renters Passed the Renters’ Rights Act – banning “no-fault” evictions so tenants have much stronger protection. Started major planning reforms to help build 1.5 million new homes over this parliament. 4. Energy and Environment Set up Great British Energy – a new publicly owned company with £8.3 billion to invest in clean sustainable power like wind and solar. Lifted the ban on new onshore wind farms in England and sped up renewable energy projects. Aiming to make Britain a “clean energy superpower” with cheaper bills in the long term. 5. Cleaning Up Politics and Tackling Lobbying & Corruption New Ethics and Integrity Commission launched in October 2025, replacing the old standards committee to oversee ethical behaviour by ministers, MPs, and public officials. Tightened rules on MPs earning from paid lobbying jobs, removing exemptions that allowed MPs to be paid for giving advice on public policy or how Parliament works. Stronger rules on political donations: Introduced the Representation of the People Bill (2026) to block foreign interference and hidden donations. Tackling the “revolving door”: Introduced rules to stop former ministers and officials from immediately taking jobs with companies they used to regulate. More transparency on lobbying: Reviewing the current lobbying register and publishing more frequent data; the PM asked the Ethics and Integrity Commission to carry out a full review in March 2026. New Anti-Corruption Strategy (2025): Published December 2025 with 123 commitments to fight bribery and corruption, including appointing a new Anti-Corruption Champion. Local government reforms: Plans for a mandatory code of conduct for councillors and creation of a Local Audit Office to improve oversight and reduce corruption risks. 6. Tackling Online Harms (including pornography and disinformation) Rolling out the Online Safety Act: Inherited, but actively implemented and strengthened by Labour. From March 2025, platforms must remove illegal content, including child sexual abuse material. From July 2025, new rules to protect children from harmful content (pornography, self-harm, suicide, eating disorder material). Age verification on major porn sites, ensuring children cannot access adult content. @Ofcom issued fines (£1 million+) for non-compliant sites. Extra protections against harmful content include upgraded cyber-flashing and encouragement of serious self-harm to priority offences and rules introduced for non-consensual intimate images, deepfakes, and nudification apps. Action on disinformation: Platforms must remove illegal disinformation; Ofcom set up an advisory committee to improve responses. 7. Tackling Child Sexual Abuse & Exploitation (including Grooming Gangs) National Audit by Baroness Casey (June 2025): Reviewed group-based child sexual exploitation and recommended reforms; all 12 recommendations accepted. Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs (December 2025, started 2026): Chaired by Baroness Anne Longfield with full legal powers; £65 million budget over three years. Accelerated police action and reopened cases: National operation reopened over 800 cases; Grooming Gangs Taskforce contributed to hundreds of arrests, including 597 in late 2024. New national taskforce and local support: Specialist taskforce for councils and police; new centre of expertise for best practices. Updates to the Tackling Child Sexual Abuse Strategy (April 2025): Better victim support, independent review routes, and stronger multi-agency working. But anyway, APART from improving the NHS and the nation’s health, making more jobs, improving wages for the low-paid and worker rights, taking measures to improve housing and life for renters, cleaning up politics and tackling lobbying and corruption, tackling online harms including pornography and disinformation, tackling child sexual abuse and exploitation, including grooming gangs, stopping widespread train strikes early and starting to bring rail services back into public ownership, setting up a new Border Security Command to tackle small boat crossings, paying compensation to victims of the infected blood scandal, delivering real-terms wage growth and implementing several interest rate cuts, starting work on lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty including changes to benefits, and, excluding the COVID‑related disruption, cutting net migration to its lowest level since before the UK left the EU in 2016 - APART FROM THAT, WHAT HAS THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT EVER DONE FOR US? x.com/docrussjackson…

ISRAEL’S NEW COLONY Israel is demanding the purchase of 40 Greek islands to serve as a private safe haven for Israelis. They are literally blueprinting the total erasure of Greek borders, planning to usurp full sovereignty and install an Israeli ethnostate in Europe.

Caroline Lucas explains why the UK should cancel the state visit with King Charles to the US, "President Trump is a bully and a blackmailer" "A rogue president that just launched an illegal and reckless war" "Who is still threatening to invade Greenland, and Cuba" "Who is ripping up international law" "Who is treating people like Stramer with total contempt" "The idea that somehow King Charles is going to wield sufficient soft power to have real influence over President Trump is for the birds" "We've seen Starmer bending over backwards trying to keep good terms with him and he's been treated with total humiliation" "We should have no part of this visit because the message it will send out is that we are happy with the approach President Trump is taking"

The right wing press should be held accountable for inciting hatred and violence. RT if you agree.

Remember those accounts that say "Farage will be your next Prime Minister" and "Reform will be the next UK government" are the same paid bots that also promote Le Pen.

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.

Reform UK called for Britain to bomb Iran, then reversed within a week. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the machine behind Farage. More people now want to stop Reform than any other party. #ReformUK #NigelFarage #LocalElections2026
