My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

This is exactly what I said would happen when I analysed the NHS 10 year plan. Clever words are hiding the reality-people are agitating to pull as many services out of hospitals as possible. Why? Because it’s a lot easier to privatise services that way🚨

🔍 Digging into NHS PFI debt wasn’t easy — but we uncovered £21bn still owed. 💸
This debt is a real problem for patients, staff, and the future of the NHS.

💥 Private healthcare bosses had a hand in govt 10yr NHS Plan.
Executives from UnitedHealth, InHealth and more sat on working groups that helped draft the blueprint.
Patients deserve a health plan shaped by public need, not private profit.

I think people would feel much more positive about tax/ tax rises/ the country in general if they knew that none of the money put into public services was being siphoned off into private shareholders’ pockets.💰🚨

It's mad how much people care about immigration when it is so proportionately unimportant compared to healthcare, cost of living, poverty, climate change, wealth inequality, war etc. How easily people are convinced to rage about the wrong things by charismatic manipulators and social media posts.

The BBC is leading all its news bulletins on the escaped criminal asylum seeker. He needs catching and deporting.
Its prominence is because
-Embarrasses the government
-Requires zero analysis by Chris Mason
-Pleases the Reform loving management

Johnson’s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The media’s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.
