Epic incompetence, sincere belief that rules don’t apply to him or desperate attention-seeking? It’s like he never went away.

There will be more spin than ever of the coming months. But we must never forget who broke our NHS. Please RT if you agree.

This year, the wonderful NHS turns 75. The NHS has provided free, high quality, non-judgemental care for decades. Now, due to this Tory Govt you are lucky if an ambulance arrives when you call. The Tories cannot be forgiven for this. We must protect our NHS. #SOSNHS

"It's a shame that the rest of the media has to almost follow the trawler like seagulls, an agenda set by the biggest beasts in the jungle." After Gary Lineker was criticised for saying that the government's language around migration is similar to the language used in 1930s Germany, James O'Brien addresses the reasons behind the backlash.

We’ve been here before. In 1974 inflation rose because of a global oil price crisis. The new Labour Chancellor, Denis Healey, increased benefits +pensions, subsidized essential foods, cut VAT, and increased taxes on incomes over £4000 (£44,000 in 2021). Sunak prefers poverty.

Looking forward to the day the BBC will do the same.
Fox News just cut away from @PressSec, saying the network could not in good conscience continue to air her false claims, for which she has provided no supporting evidence.

We’ve lost quite a few followers because we’ve been critical of the government’s handling of the pandemic. But we’re here to be honest, not to make other people feel better, and we won’t compromise that. So please follow and RT if you’re still right behind us.

‘Brexit deal never made sense’ says man who negotiated it, signed it, prevented MPs from scrutinising it, campaigned for it and won a general election on the back of it:

Please RT this to a million & send @BorisJohnson a message that he can’t ignore the rule of law, shut down journalists & put lives at risk just to save his advisers job & expect to get away with it #NotMovingOn
Shameless Boris Johnson hopes by Monday we will have forgotten he has ignored the rule of law, shut down journalists & deliberately put the health of the nation & lives at risk just to keep his adviser in a job. RT to let him know you won’t be #MovingOn

London Nightingale hospital placed on standby, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham and Harrogate barely used and NHS thankfully not overwhelmed. The families of 20,000 people left to die in care homes and our communities may raise some difficult questions. bbc.co.uk/news/health-525318…
