Reform UK in Sunderland have pulled support for Show Racism the Red Card, calling them ‘a politically-charged organisation with an agenda’. That agenda is driving racism out of football. Sunderland stands against racism, even if our Reform council doesn't. www.sunderlandecho.com/news/people/...

When we go into an NHS hospital, we want to be able to trust that our health is the number one priority - not a private company's profits Tony Sullivan is absolutely spot on. It is time to end NHS privatisation
Graphic with quote from Tony Sullivan, co-chair of Keep Our NHS Public: "“When commercial incentives enter healthcare, robust safeguards, transparency and public accountability are essential, and in this case they catastrophically failed. The Government must urgently examine whether outsourcing and payment structures are putting patients at risk.”
