At least 500 people died in 2023 because their ambulance was delayed by Conservative cuts for so long that they died. If we send Just Stop Oil to jail for 21 years for theoretically delaying an ambulance. How long are we sending the Conservatives to jail for delaying millions?

On this day, in 1984, striking miners at Orgreave were viciously attacked by 6,000 officers from 18 different police forces. Many suffered serious, lifelong physical injuries. Join us outside Sheffield City Hall today from 1PM to demand truth, justice and accountability.

More than 1,600 GP surgeries have closed or merged in England alone since 2013. Bear that figure in mind when Sunak promises '100 new GP surgeries'.

In the 35 years before Water was Privatised the UK built nearly 100 reservoirs. In the 35 years after, they have built 0. There is no investment, only as much theft as possible.

Britains economy is in malaise and recession for a very simple reason: wealth is locked away in non-productive assets and offshore accounts. We have no real economy. A country cannot survive on costa coffees, hedge funds, and landlords. – at Brighton, England

30.7C in Spain. The highest temperature ever recorded in Europe in January. A calamity is unfolding that threatens all life on this planet. Enough is enough. Where are the people of influence? Where is the anger from the public? Why are people not rising up to save themselves?
Confirmat: els 30,7 °C registrats a Calles (els Serrans) i Gavarda (la Ribera Alta) són les temperatures més altes registrades mai en un mes de gener Europa. Estem impressionats. 😳

The record NHS budget was caused by adding the £14.9bn PPE Fraud and Dido Harding's £36bn Test and Trace onto the NHS Budget. In reality the NHS budget has been cut for every single one of the 13 years that the Conservatives have been in charge.

Abolishing inheritance tax next year costs us £7 billion. Almost half (47%) would go to top 1% of estates worth £2.1M - an average tax cut of around £1.1M 90% or so of estates not paying inheritance tax would not be directly affected by such a reform #IHT ifs.org.uk/news/wealthiest-1…

We talked about it, knew it was coming, and sadly ignored it as we generally do. What will it take for something like this to be taken seriously?
⚠️ BREAKING NEWS ⚠️ In the species reassessment released today by @IUCNRedList the main UK populations of Atlantic salmon are reclassified as endangered - meaning they are threatened with extinction. Global populations are reclassified from least concern to near threatened.

With 93% coming from overseas I guess we can agree that not all migration is bad…
🎯 5️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ We've hit the target of 50,000 more nurses in the NHS - but we won't stop here. The NHS Long Term Workforce Plan will expand the nursing workforce even more to help cut waiting lists and give patients the care they need. Details: gov.uk/government/news/over-…
