Dear 🇬🇧, This govt inherited the #1 health system, intentionally destroyed it, and now exploit its current ravaged state — one they engineered — to argue the NHS model is broken and to push for a private system. They have zero credibility. Thank you @OwenJones84. #SOSNHS #NHS75

This is extremely disturbing, it confirms that all traces of the foundations and principles of the left are being systematically expunged from the Labour party. Time to set up independent alternatives. Unease in Labour NEC theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

I’ve decided to resign from The Labour Party and serve as an Independent Mayor. People are tired of being controlled by Westminster and Party HQs. They want someone to stand up for them. Let the people decide. £25k by end of Aug & I’ll stand as North East Mayor👉gofund.me/98547c6b

Keir today admitted "changing the party"—purging the left & its policies—was premeditated. He "strongly believed" it was the "first thing we had to do" "at speed." So by his own account, his mantra when running for leader—“Don’t trash the last 4 years"—was consciously dishonest.

When The Labour Party aren't answering your calls...but you turn up anyway. If The Labour Party are serious about reducing child poverty, they must commit to scrapping the #SiblingTax. #NPF #NationalPolicyForum #Nottingham 1/2

Apart from Chile, England is the only country in world where someone owns the Water and you have to pay them whatever they want to use it. Doesn’t sound like a great idea does it, which is why no one else has done it.

Some great work going on with player welfare but we can’t fathom why the elite GRTP protocol doesn’t start from a position of greater caution. For all the headlines, we still have a process where elite players can play just 7 days after being diagnosed with a brain injury.

Despite having a private wealth of £2 billion & paying no inheritance tax King Charles' grant is expected to increase from £86m to £125m paid for by the taxpayer There's never any new money for, nurses, teachers or doctors but always for the rich #NotMyKing

A huge row has broken out at the Labour Party's national policy forum between trade unions and the party leadership. Unions were proposing amendments to strengthen workers' rights. "Fait accompli provided. Party staffers trying to tell general secretaries what to do. Pathetic."

Taj Ali (@taj_ali1) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Union source: "Essentially boycotted dinner. Tables sparse with Starmer in attendance" General Secretaries are meeting to discuss an "incompetent and duplicitous attempt to bounce trade unions."

"GMB want equal pay for women and are willing to go to war with the party over it. It's a red line." Not sure what the amendment specifically calls for. Told there's anger across the board over a whole host of worker/trade union issues.
