Our NHS has been hollowed out over the last few decades. Thank you, @premnsikka, for speaking out The UK has 2.4 NHS beds PER 1,000 people Japan: 12.6 Germany: 7.7 Austria: 6.6 France: 5.4 OECD average: 4.2 This is why we have the disgrace of corridor care. It's time to invest and rebuild our NHS

Kate Middleton & William closed an environmental centre for school children and took away 150 acres park from the public so that they can have their 4th FOREVER home. Now Kate's Expert advice in early childhood is telling parents to... wait for it —take their children outside.

They'll tell you that the royal family deserves the £100s millions given to them by taxpayers every year because of the work they do for charity. Meanwhile private citizen Prince Harry shows up with $1.5M check and Kate Middleton shows up for pictures and a closed purse.

"Even voters who know little about Palestine will struggle to understand why Labour is turning on its own local administrations. The impression it creates is not of a party that’s been renewed as a force for ‘hope’, but of one that remains petty, vindictive and self-serving."

A Labour Peer interviewing a Labour minister. This is so utterly absurd. We so badly need media reform.
Labour govt minister Yvette Cooper tells Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika, who is interviewing her, "you're a journalist"

.@ZackPolanski: "Andy Burnham.. needs to explain to communities their bins won't be collected, social services will collapse, libraries will be closed, because he's more worried about defending the genocide he's arming than working with Green councillors" Well said Zack.

France, Education, Thomas Piketty ecrit: “des centaines de milliers de jeunes ont travaillé dur pour obtenir leur baccalauréat, mais que rien n’a été prévu pour les accueillir dans le supérieur. En particulier, le nombre de bacheliers technologiques et professionnels a fortement progressé, mais les places en IUT et BTS n’ont pas suivi, si bien que beaucoup se retrouvent affectés dans des filières universitaires surpeuplées et moins coûteuses, et souvent totalement inadaptées à leurs besoins et aspirations. Le gâchis humain et économique est gigantesque,…” Pas d’argent pour l’Education? “le pouvoir en place et ses soutiens expliquent que la France n’a pas les moyens d’investir davantage. Ils commettent une double erreur de raisonnement. La dette publique est certes passée de 20 % du PIB en 1970 à 120 % aujourd’hui. Mais dans le même temps, les patrimoines privés ont augmenté beaucoup plus fortement : ils sont passés de 300 % à 600 % du PIB, avec une concentration extrême au sein des plus grandes fortunes financières. Autrement dit, le patrimoine national de la France – somme du patrimoine privé et public, après déduction des dettes privées et publiques – n’a jamais été aussi élevé, non seulement en montant absolu, mais aussi en pourcentage du PIB (qui lui-même n’a jamais été aussi élevé).” “Autrement dit, la France n’a jamais été aussi riche : le problème que nous avons à régler est uniquement une question de répartition…” C’est pourquoi @Amnesty considere que les impots equitables constituent un enjeu de protection des droits humains. C’est pourquoi nous plaidons pour l’adoption d’une Convention sur la coopération internationale en matière fiscale. lemonde.fr/la-chronique-de-t…

They will tell you that we teach our children to hate them. In truth, who can love, like, or even tolerate these demons?
Palestinian children scream and cry as Israeli settlers brutally beat their father before their eyes, leaving them terrified and helpless.

There is an appalling narrative at the moment (driven by a small but very powerful group) who claim that ‘normal birth’ ideology & its impact on safety is a made up issue. A reminder of the vast amount evidence there is on this. Let’s start with what @DOckendenLtd found at Shrewsbury & Telford. 1/…

Under Polanski, the Greens now have: 🟢 1,295 seats (+441) on local councils 🟢 Majority control of 6 councils (+5) 🟢 2 elected Mayors (+2) 🟢 2 seats in the Senedd (+2) 🟢 Estimated local election vote of 18% (+7) All of these = their best results EVER in each category.
2 things need to happen to the Green Party Zak needs to go they need to return to their environmentalist roots not try and clone corbyn or offer a home to Your Party rejects

בואו נעזוב לרגע את הפלסטינים, העיתונאים והדיפלומטים: אנחנו מבינים כמה זה מסוכן לנו, הישראלים, שיש בינינו מאות אולי אלפי אזרחים חמושים שביצעו פשעים אלימים, כולל רצח, ומסתובבים חופשי? נתניהו מדבר על ״היפוך קנים״? היפוך הקנים האמיתי יבוא מהנשק שאנחנו נותנים למחבלים בהתנחלויות.

Nobel prize winner Navi Pillay gives Andy Burnham some lessons in this impressive interview with @Basement_Films: the ICJ triggered your government’s duty to prevent genocide in 2024—and if you’re still having difficulty ‘determining’ the question of Israel’s genocidal intent after all these years, look at our UN report, we’ve done the work for you.

La mobilisation d’aujourd’hui confirme la profondeur de la colère. Le gouvernement ne pourra pas l’étouffer par la répression. La CGT condamne les violences et une stratégie de maintien de l’ordre dangereuse. Pour sortir de la crise, une seule voie : répondre aux revendications.

On the one hand we're so poor as country we can't afford support for special needs kids. But on the other hand we can afford a 93% payment hike for one of the richest men on the country. No, I can't make sense of it either.
The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse to rise to £99.9m. 93% increase from £51.8m for 2024/25. 65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17. 25.3m people live below minimum income standard. We are in it all together, aren't we. leftfootforward.org/2026/10/…

Boxes of death, packed with tons of explosives. Israeli occupation forces are planting them among the ruins of homes along Mushtaha Al-Faisal Street, the road that divides Shuja’iyya to the south from Al-Tuffah to the north, right on the edge of the Yellow Line in eastern Gaza City. Then, from a safe distance, they detonate them by remote control. The blasts are so powerful that residents say the ground shakes as if in an earthquake, and they flatten whatever was still standing in neighbourhoods already reduced to rubble. Just yesterday, the occupation army blew up another explosive-packed robot carrying tons of explosives to destroy what remains of homes in eastern Gaza City. This week, it pushed the Yellow Line through the whole of Shuja’iyya and deeper into Al-Tuffah, moving its concrete blocks to within metres of Salah Al-Din Street and forcing hundreds of families to flee. Every house blown up is one more family that can never come back. A year into the ceasefire, the occupation is erasing eastern Gaza City block by block, and it is clearing the land it plans to keep.

Today in dystopia, the military-industrial complex is reassuring investors that the wars will indeed be endless.
Asked about the Iran War's effect on defense stocks, Lockheed Martin CEO says: "Investors need to know and understand that this demand is not fleeting — it's permanent."
