A reminder of some words from the late great Tony Benn.

Marina Purkiss gives one example of how the NHS is being privatised.
Instead of value for tax payers, private companies deliver the same (sometimes worse) service taking huge profits.

Ambulance drivers are literally queuing up outside hospitals and our government is on holiday for 6 weeks. This is a crime scene with @RishiSunak and @SteveBarclay at the helm.

This is a video from onboard the @OSIRISREx spacecraft as it sampled the asteroid Bennu in October 2020.
It's worth 47 seconds of your time.
Especially the last 15 seconds.
RT @EmergencyMedDr
Several trusts have declared critical incidents in the last 24 hrs; some calling in all staff due to exceptional hospital pressures. Derby. Brighton. Nottingham. Grampian. Stoke. Watching from afar as an emergency medicine doctor of 20 years, never seen anything quite like it🤯

Outrageous
• MPs’ Menu in Parliament: “Pressed duck leg and caper terrine with celeriac & mustard remoulade
& sour dough toast” — Cost: £4.52 (subsidised by you).
• NHS Staff Menu in Hospital: “Macaroni Cheese” — Cost: £7.25 (paid by NHS nurses).

Sunak’s only plan to save the UK he admitted in an interview today, Freeport’s and Charter Cities.
Neither of which produce anything except tax avoidance, drug trafficking, people smuggling, Artifact smuggling and horrendous working conditions.
But never any actual benefits.
RT @doctor_oxford
In 14 years as a doctor I’ve never known such horrific conditions. Patients dying on trolleys with zero dignity. Or screaming & moaning in corridors. Dickensian overcrowding, total implosion. Despair. Weeping staff. Abject misery.
Do you care at all @Jeremy_Hunt? @SteveBarclay?

Jake Berry, #Tory MP, on higher fuel bills:
"They can either cut their consumption or get a higher salary, higher wages, go out there and get that new job".
Simple as that!
A policy that could only be devised by the diabolical.

The detained Russian spy from among the German intelligence officers had access to a huge amount of top-secret information about the war in Ukraine, according to The Wall Street Journal. Among them were fragments of intercepted conversations and satellite images.

Most Tory MPs claim more for expenses than many families have to survive on each year.
RT @danielgoyal
Well said @dave_dlt GP: “NHS is collapsing no more. Collapsed. The public now being asked to drag people out of hospital beds and care for them at home. It’s happened in plain sight. Not a peep from the government.”

A new report from @TheBMA makes clear that the need is still there – simply too much of clinicians' time is wasted. https://www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/millions-of-hours-of-doctors-time-lost-each-year-to-inadequate-it-systems

This is a bald-faced form of gerrymandering. Disgraceful & profoundly undemocratic. https://twitter.com/geraintdaviesmp/status/1608611030871199745
RT @Theholisticpsyc
The disease model of depression stopped making sense to me as a psychologist when I worked with so many clients who lived in poverty, who could barely make ends meet, and who had no time for creativity or purpose. Depression is a response.

He lost unfettered access to his nearest export market, faces reduction in farm subsidies as the result of the loss of the common agricultural policy, and has been disadvantaged by trade deals giving access to the UK market to rival farmers from 🇦🇺 and 🇳🇿.
