For the last 5 months, I’ve spoken to Rosy as she’s fought for care. Motor neurone disease means she needs a ventilator and feeding tube and yet she has been denied 24/7 carers. Rosy is now losing her voice but wants to speak out. We should all listen.  theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Grant Shapps, who used a fake name in order to pose as a "millionaire web marketer" running a get-rich-quick scheme, and then lied about it for three years, is now in charge of the UK's global security and defence policy.

People who warn of the Tory’s cruelty are often accused of hyperbole. But I don’t know how else you can explain cutting benefits for the poorest to give tax cuts to the rich, all as bills rise. It’s not accidental. It’s cruelty. And it’s about time commentators admitted it.

The state of Tory Britain. You're not going to believe the answer Jacob Rees-Mogg gives to the question, "what's actually working in Britain today?"

Every day another life is lost to gambling-related suicide. The government can’t put off promised gambling reforms any longer. That’s why I signed the petition for the immediate publication of the Gambling Act white paper – add your name if you agree! 38d.gs/gambling-white-paper-…
I just signed the petition urging @BorisJohnson to not privatise the Passport Office. Can you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38_degrees
This should be the main story on the news. Is it? Do “the people” even know their ‘democracy’ is being dismantled?

Spending per head on healthcare in Australia in 2019 was £4184. In the UK it was £2647. The G7 average was £3523. Bear this in mind next time someone says we have an NHS problem. What we have is a government problem.
