If you're in England and want to observe the potential effects of insurance or privately funded healthcare, take a look at the state of dentistry. Almost all dentists operate privately, and the cost of treatment is exorbitant. Running healthcare as a business will inevitably lead to higher prices.

Brian Unwin, former President of the European Investment Bank, highlights the eye-watering levels of long-term financing we've lost because of Brexit in his letter to The Guardian. 📝

A screenshot of Brian's letter, which reads: Polly Toynbee demonstrates conclusively how much self-inflicted economic damage the UK is suffering from Brexit. She could also have mentioned the critical loss of investment from the EU’s long-term financing bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB). During the UK’s EU membership, the EIB invested some £150bn in mainly infrastructure projects in the UK, representing actual investment of two to three times that amount, taking account of the EIB’s ability to attract other long-term co-financers. This key stream of investment and growth ceased with Brexit, and the successor regional investment banks established by the government have not come remotely near to replacing the EIB’s level of finance. If, as Toynbee urges, the government were bold enough to face down the Brexiters, there would be at least an opportunity to renegotiate access to EIB finance. No other source of significant investment is in prospect.

Couldn’t be more sick of this toxic Tory/rightwing/Reform “philosophising” about race and identity. Who the fuck do these people think they are? What made them arbiters of what it is to be English/British? These rancid, racist inadequates do not get to dictate our identities.

Yes. America will have to live with the shame. As will every single British politician who has championed Trump and Musk, and who is prepared to lie and excuse them even now. What an unforgivable betrayal by all of them.

Spain's economy is booming - thanks to immigration. Ideological rigidity against foreign-born workers isn’t just xenophobic, it’s economically shortsighted. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not just “Labour sources” asking this, Times. Pretty much every decent-minded person out there wonders why the hell the right thinks these relentless misogynistic attacks on Labour politicians are acceptable. Particularly when you hand out free passes like smarties to the utterly corrupt Tory party.

Extract from article;

Labour sources questioned the motivation for the claims against Reeves, pointing out that no concerns had been raised against her at the time or in subsequent years.
"You have to question why this has come out now and why someone might want to try and discredit her now she is chancellor," they said.

The government is still refusing to answer our questions about its definition of genocide, the legal advice it has received, and the use of RAF Akrotiri. What does the government have to hide?

When maximum sentence for chaining yourself to railings is over twice maximum sentence for racially aggravated assault, anyone who cares about justice should be appalled. This is a dangerous, undemocratic & disproportionate attack on longstanding right to peaceful protest in UK #DefendOurJuries
