On the 6th October 2023 I shared a link on X to a Mail Online article entitled ‘Militant union leader at the heart of doctors strikes is a Labour activist who boasted of charging the NHS for a strike cover shift. I accept that my words were misleading as the subject in question Dr Tom Dolphin was not on strike on the date of the shift in question but was simply covering a shift as a consultant for junior doctors who were on strike on 11th August 2023. I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to Dr Dolphin for any distress upset caused. I will also like to add that I understand that Dr Dolphin actually donated his pay for the covered shift which I believe was £1870 to the BMA strike fund and whilst I do not agree with the strikes I want to go on the record to say that I think it is a very unselfish act on the part of Dr Dolphin to put his money into something he strongly believes in. I will make the same contribution to compensate the upset I may have caused Dr Dolphin. Please Repost.

Energy Ombudsman: Complaints up by 84% in one year.
Profiteering and abuses continue as govt has removed bankruptcy threat from energy companies.
Ofgem is in their pocket. There is no public accountability.
Only public ownership can end the scams.

After thirteen years of Tory rule, an unprecedented number of people are sleeping in tents.
The Tory response is to ban tents.

Matt Hancock wanted to decide "who should live or die "
Endless gut wrenching testimony insulting the very fabric of this country.
What do we have running the UK?
An entitled, arrogant, greedy, divisive, useless, irresponsible, morally bankrupt, bunch of what?!

Failing to hold Dominic Cummings & Boris Johnson to account: what I learned. You have to act now. After the event is after the event. You’ll be told to ‘move on’, to ‘get over it’ to ‘look forward’. This is already happening now. While people are dying.

Loving how mainstream journalists are feigning shock at the Boris Johnson Covid revelations now…
…when it was all utterly obvious at the time - but they were busily sucking up to power and repeating No10 soundbites vapidly with fawning credulity.

This is quite a story. 👇👇
While thousands were dying of Covid, Boris Johnson arranged to transfer £100-£200 million in taxpayers' money to newspaper companies, most of them owned by billionaires. This was 'dressed up' as emergency advertising. Read here.

We can parse and debate here the vile Tory gang who plundered the tragedy of Covid as a business opportunity but we MUST demand justice.
Accountability. Resignations. Arrests. Prison.
These spivs thought they were untouchable.
They must be shown to be 100% - TOUCHABLE.

@RMTunion today welcomed the government’s complete withdrawal of its ticket office closure plans in light of passenger watchdog objections as a complete victory.🧵

The @covidinquiryuk is a very powerful example of how “duty of candour” and “freedom to speak up” don’t work in public life. Witness after witness details how incompetent they thought the UK response was at the time, and yet nobody spoke publicly about it at the time. Why not?

If it’s true that the government has been forced into a u-turn over ticket office closures then this is a huge win for commuters.
Our thanks must go to the railway unions who waged a relentless campaign on this issue

From Wikipedia: "In March '19, Braverman (said) "we are engaged in a battle against Cultural Marxism". Dawn Foster challenged (her) use of the term... highlighting its anti-Semitic history... (it) was initially condemned as hate speech by...the Board of Deputies of British Jews."

Talked to a friend who went on the protest on Saturday. She's worried about Braverman's words today. I assured her that the right to protest is protected under Art. 11 ECHR and that the Human Rights Act gives effect to that domestically. The right to protest is still here.

Let this sink in - The BBC has spent longer covering the stupid story of Farage losing his elite bank account than they have the Covid inquiry and how this shit show of a government dealt with the biggest health crisis of the past century. #bbcnews
