The government appear to be moving ahead with their new healthcare model…. to replace our current NHS model with a direct pathway for private care companies to access NHS (tax) funds. This will be catastrophic for the level and amount of healthcare we can provide. 🧵

The wealth of UK billionaires is up by £106,500,000,000 in the pandemic. But instead of making them pay more, the Tories are raising National Insurance, hitting low paid & young workers the hardest. Social care should be funded with a wealth tax, not a tax on the working class.

Johnson’s failure to close the borders to India as the deadly new variant emerged was not an anomaly. It’s been his pattern since the pandemic began, as our investigation shows.

Last night I had a dream that I went to a @mogwaiband gig in a small venue, and it was bloody loud. Today they had a live session on @BBC6Music with @maryannehobbs. Was just as big sounding and rewarding as my subconscious..

I just watched Soul. Nothing else has perfectly illustrated the transitional epiphany I experienced after two years of personal of trauma, when my whole relationship with life, and music, had changed for the better.. #Soul

Hey @BorisJohnson, you seem to be obsessed by fish - the music industry generates nearly four times as much for the economy (£5.2 billion compared to £1.4 billion) and you seem to be ignoring it/ us

When writing the new Bond villain, to make it more realistic they should base it entirely on Priti Patel

Watching CNN is giving me heart palpitations.. but I can't stop watching #USAElections2020 #PresidentialElection
The circumstances are tragic, but I don't think I fully realise yet just how wonderful it is that local councils are backing Marcus Rashford in continuing to provide school meals Looking at @MarcusRashford's timeline today made me well up. THAT, is what I love about this country

If Trump/Pence's slogan is still 'Make America Great Again', seeing as they've been in office for four years, wouldn't that mean that to make America great again, everyone needs to vote for someone else?

Never forget: Attacks on the working class come from those who travel by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

It is quite remarkable to hear Johnson complimenting himself after causing thousands of avoidable deaths. The MPs cheering him on are, if anything, even more despicable.

Can’t sit down. Can’t kneel down. Can’t raise a fist. Can’t stand still in peaceful protest. Can’t walk in peaceful protest. If you don’t understand this rage then you need to educate yourself because your part of the problem. #BlackLivesMatter

you simply can not question whether racism is a problem in the UK when the whole brexit campaign was built on it and it won, there was nothing subtle about it, it happened right in front of us
