Don't want your private health records handed over to a foreign spy-tech corporation? You have a legal right to object to your health data being used in Palantir’s national database, and by law, NHS England must reply to every single submission.

This is absolutely horrific. Privatisation turns our healthcare into a for-profit assembly line that doesn't treat us as humans @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social, please, for the sake of our collective health, end this madness Invest and rebuild our NHS and end NHS privatisation

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

Andy Burnham has been talking the big talk about reversing Margaret Thatcher's privatisation legacy We wrote to him some months ago to explain how he can bring different public services back into public hands Add your name to the letter here: vist.ly/5i7ij

Add your name to our open letter to Andy Burnham
Public control is not public ownership. Andy Burnham must clarify that he backs public ownership of life's essentials.

Nobody wants Private Business in charge of essential services like Healthcare, Energy, Water, Public Transport, Telecoms, Banking... Because all that happens is they rip you off, deliver a terrible service and the profits they steal from you fly off to a tax haven never to return

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Neoliberalism in a nutshell. UEFA on FIFA's proposal: “The moment external investors acquire ownership interests ... football changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. ... Every decision is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders.”

The most interesting thing about Right to Buy is it should have meant Councils had loads of money to build new Council Houses But actually they stopped Because Thatcher blocked Councils from using this money to build houses and cut their budget from Government Because of their increased incomes

Gary Lineker among millionaires asking Andy Burnham to tax them more. Support for a 2% tax on wealth over £10m. Refreshing antidote to the right-wing claim of 'they will leave'. The poorest 20% pay a higher proportion of income in direct and indirect taxes than the richest 20%.
