Thames Water executives to receive bonuses from £3bn emergency loan.
Bonus for dumping sewage, not plugging leaks, neglecting investment, fleecing customers.
They are laughing all the way to the bank. Govts do nothing.
Let customers vote on exec pay.

If by a stroke of 'magic'- ALL the International Medical Graduates working in the #NHS disappeared or were 'sent home' ?
The #NHS will collapse by tonight's night shifts
And all this lark of 'I want only local doctors to see me'?
Will vaporise instantaneously 🙂

To all the magnificent NHS & care staff from other countries with whom I work - please know how very much we value your skills, your decency, your humanity, your dedication.
Care is the glue of society.
We are so very lucky to have you.
Ignore this Reform-lite posturing.

This #FaceEqualityWeek, our campaigners are reclaiming space for people with visible differences, in a world that too often erases or sidelines them. The theme is #MyFaceIsAMasterpiece and today, Dylan, Oliver, Katie and Elj share what this means to them. 💖

We can’t keep paying for the NHS by cutting everything that might prevent people needing to use it in the first place.👇🏻

It’s a disgrace that Britain is exporting F-35 fighter jet parts used by Israel to bomb Gaza.
Today I joined lawyers, campaigners & MPs at the High Court to support the legal action to end UK arms sales to Israel.
No to complicity in Israeli war crimes. End all arms sales now!

Love this righteous anger
Absolutely right - Labour voters don’t want hate mongering on migration.
We want Labour to take care of the elderly & disabled in our society.
Labour is losing because of their cuts.
& kicking migrant care workers is all they have to make up for that.

"He [Starmer] spent 5 minutes sounding, to a lot of critics, like he could have been Nigel Farage, & the criticism is he actually sounded like Enoch Powell"

Today, the UK government is being taken to court over arms sales to Israel.
We know that arming Israel is morally indefensible. @GLAN_LAW and @alhaq_org have my full support in proving it is legally indefensible too.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Wrong, people have been *taught* to blame immigrants instead of the multi millionaires who have made us all poorer (whilst making themselves richer) for the past 15 years.
Before immigrants, trans people and the disabled were the targets, they blamed people on benefits.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist."
We shouldn't be copying his policies.

If you thought the PM’s speech was punchy, his foreword to the immigration white paper says high net migration has done “incalculable damage” to the country.
That is a serious shift in tone for a Labour government/party.

I don’t speak of this often. My dad was an immigrant. From the moment he arrived in this country he worked hard every day in labouring jobs. My most vivid memory is of his tired and weary eyes and oil stained overalls after a 12 hour factory shift. Even then he managed a smile. Together, he and my mum raised a family of four. They worked hard, they contributed and instilled in each of us a fierce sense of right and wrong and love of country. His proudest day was when he became a British citizen. I recall him with love and affection and pride and carry the lessons he taught me in my heart every day. If it were not for my dad I would never have become a lawyer and in his memory I work hard everyday to make a difference to as many as I can.
Immigration is a beautiful thing and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️

Kevin Maguire on Keir Starmer using the language of Enoch Powell to attack, scapegoat & demonise immigrants #GMB

I had to go to A&E and was looked after by some wonderful people, many were what Starmer calls “foreign labour”.
I apologised and thanked them for all they do, but one Englishman got angry with a nurse bc she pronounced his name Hadrian, not Adrian.
This is what Starmer has underscored.

Why doesn't @guardian journalist ask Qs about "what did pilot show?, how does ABC work when the technology doesn't?, Why is legal bill 3x that of services?" Its @Haroon_Siddique job to get to facts @RCObsGyn @MidwivesRCM @birthandbiology @HealthSenseUK theguardian.com/society/2025…

So angry...
Biggest betrayal of any Labour leader — ever.
Fuck you Sir Keir, and check out my history — I’ve defended you throughout — but this is Farage on steroids, and fuck that!
Fuck that!
New leader please Labour.
Now!
