It's clear that after years of being held down that workers need a pay rise.
The wealthy get richer but refuse to pay proper tax, unlike the rest of us.
Wealth distribution from the poor to the rich must stop.

NHS staff are on their knees & the system is in crisis, but we know that the money is there for pay rises. We are a rich country - but that money is often not being paid through taxation by the wealthiest, even by some of our politicians.

Thanks #PJPconf25 for opening space to speak on the deep emotional impact of harsh school behaviour policies—and why we must fight for emotionally healthy schools.
Grateful to @QualiaInterAlia & @mickcooper77 for an incredible panel + powerful audience Qs. Here’s the data on school exclusions, detentions & NHS talking therapy drop-out rates. It’s time to repurpose public funds back our communities & diversify therapy models

We are committed to protecting our NHS, removing all disgraceful privatisation from hospitals and investing in a system of social care.

Ending therapy can feel hard
Engaging with endings is integral to the therapeutic process, and why therapy is transformative for many people
From guilt to anxiety, learning to manage the difficult feelings related to ending meaningful or unsatisfactory relationships is possible
Are you wondering how to end things with your therapist?
In this thoughtful @theipaper piece, UKCP psychotherapists Dwight Turner and @QualiaInterAlia share advice on navigating this important and often emotional step.

Labour Party turns its back on the elderly, disabled people and now puts the blame of government failings onto immigrants
Don't be fooled: Labour is also failing non immigrants of Britain, pushing a forecasted 250’000 more into poverty by 2030

Stop allowing politicians to penalise the poor for bad govt choices. There is a better way than cutting benefits of those struggling due to austerity: a fairer more equitable tax system that helps deal with inequality, not increase it @bbcsml @pplsassembly @BBC #tax #benefits

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.
During a discussion on BBC Sunday Morning Live @bbcsml about the benefits system, I was asked whether mental health issues have increased due to lack of resilience in people - here's what I said
#benefits #mentalhealth #resilience #inequality #austerity @BBC

I'm enjoying your Sunday Morning Live appearance.
It's fresh to hear a psychotherapist link mental health and poverty.
I hope this message is amplified.
It is so obvious when working in mental health.
Chris Nineham has been an organiser and chief steward for anti-war demonstrations for 25 years, and chief steward of the demonstrations has been arrested and is being held at Walworth Police Station. Anyone who can head there for a sit-in outside the station to demand his release

When you see someone angry or upset about politics, you have no idea what injustices they’ve experienced.
As long as that anger is expressed nonviolently, it must be heard, not criminalized.
I'll be MCing tomorrow's rally
See you there
The @Conservatives have shown utter contempt for our NHS, and now @UKLabour are following in their greedy footsteps, putting profit before people, pushing for more private involvement at any human cost
Vote LEFT #July4
Vote NHS
The NHS is not for sale.
Join us tomorrow at 11AM for an emergency rally to defend a health service that is fully-public, fully-funded and free at the point of use.
We have a message to anybody looking to promote private healthcare: keep your hands off our NHS!

My chat this morning with @NickFerrariLBC on @LBC responding to Labour's plans to cut waiting lists:
"We need to think about investing back into the NHS rather than partnership with the private sector because that's costly and not shown to be effective."

My chat with @TrishaGoddard about the worrying resurgence of 'traditional gender roles' and why they are not a good thing for men or women
We need to stop insisting men are leaders and women need to stay at home
People are complex - the one size fits all model is destroying us
