Horrifying stories of people pulling out their own teeth and living off soup because of the utter failure of NHS dental services
The result of 40 years of neoliberalism and 12 years of Tory government
Get the market model out of health care!
We deserve so much better

Public don’t want tax cuts Truss and Sunak are promising, poll reveals
'Only 22% said that taxes should be reduced and less spent on public services'
Not surprising that the public are smarter and more community minded than Tory leadership candidates

All excess oil and gas profits must be taxed into public purse to ensure rapid demise of oil and gas

So much wrong here
Truss picked up a policy direct from so-called ‘taxpayers’ alliance’ - actually a libertarian lobby group
Both candidates shifting to the right to impress Tory membership
No accountability to electorate as a whole

Bank of England raises interest rates to provoke a recession to counter inflation
But inflation is caused by Covid bounceback, Ukraine war and Brexit
If we need to reduce demand we should tax the rich and use cash raised to support those on low incomes

Pretty obvious that they just don't give a s***
Meanwhile those fighting to become our next PM indulge in fantasy economics

@sandtreader Actually the post Covid boom is probably the largest factor causing inflation. Job of monetary authorities is to smooth out the reverberations, not exacerbate them. But that would be politics and we’ve chosen to abdicate political responsibility for money

This looks like panicking about inflation
In the middle of a cost of living crisis this action will damage families and businesses
Of course we can’t be complacent about inflation, but this sort of increase in the cost of money will surely push us into recession
