While no one was looking, private equity firms have been quietly moving in to profit off our healthcare system. Our MPs need to feel the pressure from their constituents before it's too late. Take 60 seconds to send our letter to your MP: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

You're Tougher Than Your Fear Thinks You Are Seven tools for staying steady when the world feels like it's coming apart. In the late 1930s, British officials sat down to plan for war, and they were terrified.

I strongly believe schools should bring children together rather than try to impose one religious identity on them. If you agree - please add your name and call on the Education Secretary to introduce inclusive assemblies for all, and to keep dangerous Christian Nationalism OUT of our schools.

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good, but please stop saying "agents go rogue". AI agents don't "go rogue". They pursue the goals they're set, and if the humans who set those goals don't give them limits, then obviously there's a good chance they'll do something humans consider bad in pursuit of those goals.

Only 10% of the richest 0.01% of the population paid close to the top 47% (45% income tax marginal rate + 2% NIC) rate on earnings. A quarter of that group paid an effective average tax rate of 20% or less. The tax system appears to be progressive for some but is frequently not so at the very top

Andy Burnham is right: in the 1980s Britain took a "wrong turn" by privatising life's essentials Our bills have gone up along with shareholder dividends, while the quality of the service has fallen Our NEW REPORT explains how Andy Burnham can deliver public ownership: vist.ly/5jtkd
Screenshot of a Utility Week headline that says "Campaign tells government to ‘squeeze’ utilities and enforce public ownership: Campaign group We Own It is pressing the Prime Minister to consider taking water companies and electricity networks into public ownership, proposing a strategy of "squeezing" them until they become unprofitable. The report suggests a model where 100% of profits are reinvested in services, with governance structures including representation from households and environmental organisations."
