@pimlicat.bsky.social: Whether they've resigned, been suspended, or were simply never up to the job, Reform UK have been shedding councillors ever since May. So much for the tidal wave about to break over British politics, this is a party that would struggle to run a bath.

Over the last 3 years, NHS trusts paid nearly £1bn to insourcing firms, 17 of the top 50 owned by private equity. Money for frontline care and staff is lining shareholder pockets off the back of growing waiting lists. Tell your MP to end PE in our NHS: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

The British public has long known that Brexit has been a catastrophic mistake. This week, the Prime Minister also admitted that Brexit has done "more harm than good" and put all the options for our future relationship with Europe on the table. EU membership is the only option that makes sense.
