According to our research, between 2023-25 Streeting took £224,575 from sources linked to private healthcare... Well done to @justtreatment.org + their amazing patient leaders for speaking up! 📣

#NHS patients...but will take £220k+ from private healthcare donors.
So yes - we brought a puppet to Wes Streeting's office to ask the question: who is really pulling Streeting's strings? ⬇️

Reading Rooms at the British Library are closed *all week* because so many of its workers refuse to work for pitiful wages in a contemptuously authoritarian and obliviously managed environment.
We need leaders who get it and are big enough to sort it out!
It’s a mess and a disgrace.
Lift it up!!

Integrating Ukraine now as part of European defense and supporting it in such a way that it can push Russia back is part of this necessary efficiency. It will only cost us half of what a Russian success would.“

Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

We all want democracy and capacity, efficaciousness and accountability. This is not easy. If you make government into an extension of the personality of the chief executive, that just is the fascist theory of administration. Past presidentialists have known that. The Court should know it too. (4/4)

Finland is one comparatively successful model, but not just because schools teach critical thinking. Finland has high social trust, strong public-service media and coherent institutions. The whole system supports verification and open deliberation, you can’t copy the surface without the structure.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it
