Did you spot it? This government wants to use a PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP for Neighbourhood Health Centres in its 10 year NHS plan *Even though Private Finance Initiatives mean the NHS paying up to 27 x over for hospitals* Take 1 minute to say no weownit.org.uk/act-now/no-n...

The Railways Bill is good news for rail - BUT private companies are already lobbying govt to let them have 'an ongoing role' on the rail network. Passengers need public ownership of rail to truly deliver for them. Here's how your MP can make sure of it. weownit.org.uk/act-now/grea...

Thames Water's in crisis AGAIN! 🚨 The way to end this crisis doom-loop is public ownership. And most MPs don’t know the facts about how to get this done. Wherever you live, take 1min to email your MP - ask them to read and sign our open letter now. 👇

This is absolutely enraging and heartbreaking. Labour wants more people in work, yet they're cutting Access to Work payments, which supports disabled people to actually be able to go to work. Or in this case means a person who has been working for 15 years now can't.

Every minister should read this. 👇 If the government actually cared about disabled people being in work, they would reform the chaos of Access to Work.

A survey of more than 1,000 deaf people in England found that almost 1 in 10 had avoided calling an ambulance or attending A&E due to [barriers], and a quarter had avoided seeking help for a new health concern. #WhereIsOurAccess #StillSickOfIt www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Why supervision? Because we "need somewhere to reflect, not just on our work, but on ourselves in our work. This includes how we feel, because that fundamentally affects not just our wellbeing, but how we work with others". Pereira, Z. (2025) Climbing Out of the Window: Finding Supervision.
