Nothing that’s good for working class people can come from Boris making deals with Donald.
This is what happened when people in the U.K. were asked how much health care costs in the U.S. Remember that our outrageous for-profit system is not the norm in other countries. We can and we must do better. We need Medicare for All now.

Remember that the likes of the Sun’s Harry Cole will do a very great deal of heavy lifting to keep the Tories in power as the election draws near. The attacks on Starmer and Labour more generally will come thick and fast. Don’t be taken in.

Wish @netflix would’ve made it clear that they’ve re-named seasons 1 & 2 of Top Boy and that what they call season 1 is actually season 3. I’ve seen the end of the show and now watching the beginning 🤦🏻‍♂️

"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family." Why would Rishi Sunak want to do a thing like that?

Baroness Owen & Lord Kempsell who have less than a decade work experience between them but who now have jobs for life making laws because Boris Johnson said so, have made the case for abolition of the House of Lords clearer than I could

I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet… But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:

Public interest in ‘small boats’ grows according to the scale & tone of coverage. Tory politicians & Tory media gleefully & cynically exploiting some of the most desperate people on the planet to distract voters from the mess they’ve made of our country. It’s so crass & obvious.

US health insurance giant, Centene, is the single largest provider of NHS primary care in England. Privatisation is the cause of — not the solution to — the NHS crisis. Stop wasting money on private contracts and start investing in a fully-public NHS instead.

We should have plenty of money to pay all those NHS workers reasonable wages, keeping up with inflation, shouldn’t we?

It’s just the tip of the iceberg. The Tories’ VIP lane for PPE saw taxpayers’ money handed out to their cronies like confetti. Experienced British businesses offered to help - but were left out in the cold. Never again.

Huge elephant in the room is #Brexit. Hunt didn't once mention how it's contributed to 4% productivity drop, 15% trade drop, 6% food price increase, lower wages, workforce shortages & highest inflation in G7. Why won't Govt call it out? #AutumnStatement @BestForBritain @euromove
