At the country level, the US 🇺🇸 remains the biggest spender on R&D but China 🇨🇳 has surpassed all of Europe 🇪🇺 in R&D spending and spends dramatically more than Japan 🇯🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷

A doctor today is not worth less than a doctor 15 years ago
Graduating with £100,000 of debt and paying £1000s for exams and professional fees just to work
£14/hour for highly trained and qualified professionals is a disgrace

"You may shake your head at the shenanigans in the US, but the Conservative ambition is to go at least as far, if not further in a country with none of the US’s checks and balances. The issue is whether you want that."

Profiteering water companies threaten to hike customer bills if the govt made them clean up the sewage they dump in rivers.
Since privatisation real price hikes, constant dumping of raw sewage, uncontrolled leaks, low investment.
End water privatisation.

Anyone who is serious about reducing crime would offer a real alternative to austerity, poverty & alienation.
That means giving young people
opportunities and building economic security.
And it means investing in our communities to create a fairer, safer society for all.

"It’s a myth, it does not happen."
So says @stwater who spent 249,116 hours in 2022 dumping sewage into the enviro. No doubt @JoebroadyWN and @MalvernGazette
will go back and ask what the "exceptional situations" were that allowed them to do that.

1) One consistent right wing tactic over the years is to change the field of play. This was about how wrong and unpopular Tennessee Republicans are on guns. Now it’s about how wrong they are for expelling two Black Democrats, and guns are no longer the headline in the story.

How it works: the UK government funds research which supports the UK's foreign policy positions.
The British media then shares this research without informing the public it was funded by the UK government.

💩The Government is failing to fix the issue of widespread sewage spills by private water companies.
This is why we are stepping in and supporting three separate legal challenges to protect our rivers and coastal waters for generations to come. 🧵
