For nearly 120 years various Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, Truman have tried to bring Universal Healthcare to the USA. Always they have been blocked by the same thing, not voters, not congressmen. But Private Healthcare buying the Senate because they only need 51 and it is cheap.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

UK finance industry (City) hypes its contribution to the economy. Claims it paid £110.2bn tax. FALSE. Income tax, employee NIC, VAT is borne by others. Finance industry paid £48.3bn tax. In a 15 year period, it made NEGATIVE £4,500bn contribution to economy. leftfootforward.org/2024/12/the-...

leftfootforward.orgThe government shouldn’t pin all of its hopes for economic growth on the finance industrySuch a strategy was tried in 1970s and came to grief in the mid-1970s secondary banking crash.

I promised Londoners we’d get 4G rolled out across the Elizabeth line—and we’ve made good on that promise. Mobile connectivity will soon be coming to even more parts of our transport network.

Jacob Rees-Mogg claims that nobody cares about #partygate anymore. The BBC say the documentary only makes people angry. The truth is it shows everyone what lying assholes the Conservatives are. So do you care? Feel free to RP to show that you do.

We’ve had viable solutions for mobility both within & between cities for a long time, like high-speed rail, prioritized public transit and networks of protected bike-lanes. We need leadership. And we need to stop letting “shiny new tech” distract us from implementing them. Image via UrbanThoughts11

I never know how helpful 'Imagine ifs' are - although I am partial to reminding people of the media meltdowns when Diane Abbott had a mojito on a train - but seriously, imagine a major Labour politician publicly advertising this level of pant-wetting ignorance. He is shadow *Justice Secretary* ffs.

🚜🙄 Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer #farmers

Are beauty pageants still a thing? Good grief! Whatever next? A return to the ‘humour’ of Bernard Manning and Benny Hill? Teachers being allowed to hit children with sticks? Smoking in cinemas and hospitals? Fox hunting? Colour bars? #AsianCurryAwards #MissEngland
