In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

There are clear lessons so far - we need a fairer voting system & Labour needs a reset. Trying to out-Reform Reform doesn’t work. Instead of lurching to the right, government urgently needs to rethink its approach. It could start by addressing the genuine concerns of working people by taxing wealth

Myself and Hank get up for the sunrise every day and think about Alba and the dogs no longer with us. Then it’s off to help the street dogs. We can’t change all the bad news and gloom in the world but we can do a little bit in our small corner. 💜🙏

It's why I'm petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads in the UK , to halt these companies so flagrantly greenwashing their dirty reputations for financial gain – add your name now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Petition: Ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship
Advertisements encourage the use of products and sponsorship promotes a positive reputation & creates a social licence of trust & acceptability. In 2003 a ban on all tobacco advertising was introduced...

It saddens me to my core that this magnificent chap has passed away. I had the pleasure of his company whilst shooting a tv drama together many years ago. His generosity of spirit and his extraordinarily unique talents were immeasurable. Sleep well, Tony Slattery… you were an absolute delight! 🙌 x

This idea was from a panto sketch by teenagers who'd gone out and bought amazing 2nd hand sets of clothes to perform in. They suggested only 5 new items a year and then seeing pics and reports of all the #fastfashion waste clothing dumped it seemed a no brainer.

I tried to read all the rapists names, and their sentences, but I became angry at the short sentences some of them have been given. I presume the judge was fair, but their crimes are disgusting/cruel, their excuses pathetic. Huge admiration for #giselepelicot and her "Shame must change sides".

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

Big Mac recently got a golden ticket to live out his days with us. He has kidney failure so it is end of life care. I know him from the streets for nearly 3 years. I’ve never seen him run or excited. That’s all changed since he came in… (1/4)

I found Pedro on Friday. He was done with life and in absolute agony living on the streets in Thailand. I always find the eyes are the first sign things are changing. You can see the life coming back into them. He’s had a very tough day today but progress is huge (1/8) 🧵

In the week that MPs vote on assisted dying, please - please - can we all agree & act on the fact that the time to end the woeful underfunding of NHS palliative care is now? If we truly cared about dying people, we wouldn’t neglect their final days. Over to you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

Mr Fox is a dog I fed on the streets of Thailand for 2 years. One of the very first ever. He was the most easy going, best behaved boy on my feeding found. I decided to get him a home earlier this year and he ended up in the USA. I find this hard to believe... (1/3)
