Our newest Health Minister previously sat on the governance board at a private health company trying to take contracts from the NHS. You could not make this stuff up. Please RT if you think everyone should be aware. dailymail.co.uk/health/artic…

As Theresa May claims the NHS is her number one priority please don’t forget that: * Her party have underfunded it for 8 years and have already done incredible damage * We remain 100k short of staff with no real plan to address it Please RT if you think everyone should remember

Weapons experts have told the New Scientist publication that the nerve agent used in the Salisbury attack could've been manufactured by any one of several countries, considerably contradicting the words of the Prime Minister. Now it's just a case of deciding who to trust.

Tories have had talks with Cambridge Analytica and Steve Bannon and taken donations from Putin's cronies, but portray Corbyn as a dangerous stooge and national security threat

Has anyone from the right-wing media pointed out the fact that the Tories cut £129 million from the unit that's responsible for chemical weapons defence, and axed 319 staff? Or is it easier to just blame Jeremy Corbyn for everything?

BBC contacted me to say this picture was not "altered". It was. In many ways. •The contrast & colouring darken the *hat, now it looks Russian •The *face is reddened •The *shirt is changed to white from blue •The *jacket is changed from blue to black xitter.cf/morelikewater/status/9…

My fear is that #TheresaMay will do everything in her power to look strong against Russia's threat to our sovereignty except end their money laundering and hiding billions in our real estate because that would hurt our amoral elite that deal with reprehensible oligarchs. #Russia

Today, university staff take their 13th day of strike action to defend their pensions. Our education staff deserve security in retirement. I urge @UniversitiesUK to return for fresh negotiations with @UCU to end this dispute and avoid further disruption to students.

When you have tried and failed to restart the heart of a pensioner - too poor to heat his home - with hypothermia, well, then you can sneer about what cold can do to Britons. Until then, respectfully, please keep quiet. xitter.cf/activatebritain/status…

A Freedom of Information request has forced the Tories to admit they've spent £108 million trying to deny disabled people vital benefits, in 2 years. Add this to the £153 million a year the sanctions regime costs more than it saves & you can see how much their cruelty is costing.

A homeless man who was seen frequently at the tube entrance to Portcullis House Westminster underground station has been found dead today. Whatever the circumstances it's a terrible tragedy that somebody ends their days like this, the govt must do more to combat homelessness.

Wrong. People were marching because we love our NHS and hate what the Tories are doing to it. Healthcare is a human right. xitter.cf/realdonaldtrump/status…
The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise taxes for really bad and non-personal medical care. No thanks!

Can we not waste a penny of our hard earned cash on that tangerine buffoon visiting the UK. Nobody wants him here, he’s a joke. Spend the money on poverty stricken families, the NHS, something that is worth while and deserving.

National police officer numbers are lower than at any time since comparable records began. It’s time for the Govt to step up and help London and other parts of the country tackle crime, including providing @MetPoliceUK with the funding it urgently needs. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
