Don’t talk to me about restructuring or different financing of #NHS75 until we have:
🧑🏻⚕️ Staff pay to match inflation
👵🏻 Publicly funded social care
🛌 As many hospital beds as Germany
💷 Same spending per head as EU neighbours
❤️🩹 We love #OurNHS just the way it is, thanks

🤔 The prime minister chose his own targets for us to judge him by
😤 And has failed on every single one
🤬 Millions languishing on NHS waiting lists while prices continue to soar out of control
😫 A government of utter failure and corruption

Good Morning Britain: 'Oh dear.'
'So far none have been achieved.'
Today marks 6 months since Rishi Sunak invited the public to judge him on his six pledges, including stopping the boats, halving inflation and cutting waiting lists.

Pointed questioning reveals Tom Hunt as a heartless charlatan
Great to see BBC training being so effectively used
But sad that it isn't being used while journalists are still at the BBC https://n.respublicae.eu/TheNewsAgents/status/1675912286127661056

The News Agents: The News Agents ask @tomhunt1988 how an Afghani woman fleeing the Taliban could ever claim asylum in the UK if, as he says, people should stop in the “first safe country they reach”…

🔥Research suggests richer soils could keep world within 1.5C of heating
Crucially important report!
👨🌾Changing our farming systems is the only way to stay within 1.5 degrees
🐞And would also benefit wildlife
What's not to like?

Climate impact of shipping under growing scrutiny ahead of key meeting
The lengthy supply chains of the globalised economy waste energy
We should re-organize our trade system based on local production and the principle of trade subsidiarity

Shocked by this
Neal's only 'crime' was supporting a cooperative approach to politics
I've worked with him on that but I always clear that he was 100% loyal to Labour
If The Purge has reached people like him, I'm worried about what kind of government @UKLabour might be
<div class="rsshub-quote">
Michael Crick: I hear Neal Lawson, director of Compass, a leading advocate of cross-party co-operation, has been expelled from the Labour Party for committing "a prohibited act". His offence? Apparently, back in 2021 he described a cross-party deal in Oxfordshire as "grown-up politics".

When so much in Britain is broken, it’s depressing beyond belief to see the Tories prioritise building more prisons and expelling asylum seekers to Rwanda

PM is a threat to the rule of law

Re @GreenJennyJones @hewitson10 @TheGreenParty Sounds good. There may need to be some negotiation over the assets but they don’t seem to have much value and we can’t be expected to pay for debt incurred to reward shareholders rather than invest in infrastructure

Re @premnsikka Hi Prem
You may have heard chat on Today about how private finance will still be needed
Surely there’s a calculation that shows private finance faces high interest rate and involves wasteful payments to shareholders?
Public finance, without profiteering, bound to be cheaper

Re @RichardJMurphy Morning Richard
There's lots of nonsense being talked about how only private finance can pay for investment in water infrastructure
Have you got numbers indicating how public investment would be much cheaper because of lower interest rates and no money to shareholders?

Mounting debts and public anger could finally sink UK water companies
@TheGreenParty has always opposed privatization of water
If in government we would ensure public or social ownership of all utilities
Natural monopolies do not work in the market

Crown estate enjoys huge rise in profits thanks to offshore wind
After a year when so many have struggled to pay rocketing energy bills, this windfall should be invested for public good
We look to the King to do the right thing
