I think this is the most mind-boggling form of NHS privatisation right now - and hardly anyone knows about it🚨

Greetings from Kyiv,
where the situation remains difficult after the attack
(especially on the left bank, where we live).
We had power for about four hours, enough to charge everything before it went off again.
Heating is minimal.
Yes, I got sick.
Thank you for your care. Everything will be fine.

This is my picture of hope for 2026 .
Sometimes on a rough sea you can’t see the rainbow yourself, but you’re intuitively steering toward it bit by bit.
Happy new year #photography #hope #happynewyear

💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.
