Everyone is supplying drones on all sides everywhere... It's just business for them. China supplies both the military dictators and the opposition in Myanmar, just one example.

A winter flu surge.
A looming doctors’ strike.
A health system with no slack left.

This is neither bad luck nor a “perfect storm” - it’s exactly what will happen when resilience is treated as optional and difficult decisions are used to excuse incompetent ones.

A Saturday long read.
Saturday Long Read: The NHS is Collapsing and Labour is Running out of Excuses
A system shaved to the bone, a winter crisis already unfolding, and a government furious because the arithmetic no longer works.

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous.

People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border.

We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity.

The US regime has launched a campaign against EU🇪🇺, telling Europeans they need saving from the tyranny of EU

It so happens that I just took a trip through not one, not two, but THREE EU countries

I thought that I will do a small thread to document my misery and suffering on this trip

One of the weirdest collective myths of the modern age is that 'rational greed' drives everything around us (and is perfectly understandable as such, being of course rational), when that is merely a fig leaf over the most bugnuts counter-knowledge and make-believe.

“Deprivation prevented by introduction of Scottish child payment, first cross-nation study finds”.

Perhaps someone could send it to the woman on #BBCQT yesterday who said parents would waste it?

Sorry, but working class solidarity is not compatible with, nor should it be tolerant of, screaming racial slurs

Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

I'm working on a profile for a dating mixer, and the example profile had a line that's a real record scratch for me:

"looking for someone who has their own friends, interests, hobbies & is not looking to me to fill a void"

I do understand what this is attempting to say, but can we break this down?
