75 years ago, our NHS was founded on the principle of free, public & universal healthcare. Tributes ring hollow without solidarity for striking workers and opposition to privatisation. Today, let’s vow to end the corporate takeover and restore a fully-funded & fully-public NHS.

"..and the Lord said I was hungry and you said you can make a meal for 30p, I was thirsty and you filled my water with shit, I was a stranger and you sent me to Rwanda, I was sick and you asked whether I had health insurance..."

2013 George Osborne privatised Royal Mail. 36,500 people who tried to buy shares received nothing at all, while 93,000 were given the minimum offering of £750 worth. But Georgie boy's Best Man Peter Davies was able to get his mitts on £50m in shares which made £18m in 24 hours.

18 yrs ago today a bomb blew up a bus outside the BMA. Friends, mainly GPs who were in the building set up a casualty station in the courtyard working with no equipment. I know they were all deeply traumatised & never received recognition for their efforts. Thinking of them ❤️

I just can’t understand why some in Labour are not backing the campaign for free school meals. It would mean many of the children in my constituency don’t go hungry & have the only basic meal of their day. I am appealing to the Labour leadership to back this policy now.

#THREAD Since 1970, Rupert Murdoch's toxic Sun had published images of topless 'glamour models' on Page 3. In 1983, Sam Fox became the youngest Page 3 model in The Sun, when aged just 16 she first featured topless with the headline 'Sam, 16, Quits A-Levels for Ooh-Levels'.

If anyone is wondering why the BBC story is being pushed onto every media outlet then consider the UK Government has until 4pm today to hand over Johnson's WhatsApps, diaries and notebooks to the Covid Enquiry.

No wonder the likes of Thameslink are keen on getting rid of ticket offices! In to London today and went to machine. Cheapest option: £55.10🤯 Price from friendly man in ticket office: £18.85😚 Guess what I think about office closures Transport Focus RMT Southern

A question WhatsApp messages are not stored on your phone. So why can’t Johnson get a new phone and simply log in to his WhatsApp account. Am I missing something here?

The closing of the rail ticket offices in the UK is an example of how not to run a railway, how the wrong focus is being applied to its operation. A rail service exists for the benefit of its passengers not its shareholders. It is key national infrastructure not a "business".
