Almost £1bn in NHS funds has been paid to private healthcare companies over 3 years. Healthcare funding belongs on the frontlines, not in private equity pockets. Send our letter to tell your MP to push for real change: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

This tragedy happened over nine years ago. It's hard to avoid the question... If this hadn't been poor people in a wealthy area, would it really have taken a decade to bring anyone deemed responsible to account for their actions or inactions? share.google/2yfjFryZmqOE...

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Farage hates people in the UK not speaking English (Except of course his German ex-wife & sons, and French girlfriend) Perhaps because bilingual children tend to have higher IQs? "Nigel Farage isn’t happy that Glasgow kids speak more than one language ..." www.thepoke.com/2025/12/04/n...

The police need to arrest and charge these two - the man with the glasses who hits her with his stick and the woman with the glasses who pulls her hair!!! Interesting that this violence hasn’t even been mentioned on #r4today as it would have been if this was the Labour conference… #Farage 🤮

Private equity choking UK health and social care. Taking over mental health, elective care insourcing, patient transport, social care. Control of GP surgeries, IT systems gives PE access to patient records. PE devours everything. Profiteering leaves less for frontline services.

Did you know a barrister is facing jail just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience? This historic right has kept trials fair since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Add your name to defend fair trials👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

A barrister represents his clients in court. Clients who are political dissidents. He now faces criminal prosecution for doing so. Not Turkey. Not Egypt. Not Russia. England. Astonishing, deeply disturbing, and part of a long slide towards authoritarianism. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
