At a cost, estimated by the Cabinet Office to be up to £180,000,000 per decade, this law to force people to bring photo ID to vote is an expensive distraction from the problems the country faces. Add your name here: ers.tools/voter-id

First they’ll charge you for GP and A&E visits.
Then for therapies and outpatient appointments.
Then before you know it you’ll face eye-watering bills like they do in America.
Can any of us afford to pay $42,347.46 to deliver a baby?

Once upon a time,
Slavery was legal
Apartheid was legal
The death penalty was legal
Imprisoning gay men was legal
Beating a child was legal.
Yesterday, a high court judge said sending vulnerable asylum seekers to Rwanda is legal.
Never assume that legal equals moral or ethical.

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

Tomorrow 100,000 nurses go on strike. Their real pay has fallen by £1,800 this year, declining by £5,000 since 2010. 14% are using foodbanks while 1 in 3 have difficulty covering the cost of food and heating their homes. But this strike is about more than just paltry pay.🧵

Education is not memorising that Hitler killed millions of innocent people. Education is understanding how millions of people were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself.

NEW: Elon Musk has just restored the Twitter account of Andrew Anglin, the neo-Nazi who founded the infamous website Stormfront and said women should be “raped and locked in cages.”
Good luck getting back those advertisers, Elon.

Jeremy Hunt: “I don’t accept the premise that Brexit has left us poorer. It is an issue, but not the biggest issue”
The Office for Budget Responsibility has said that the impact of Brexit on the UK is WORSE than the pandemic - 4% vs 2% drop in GDP:
