If UK health spending had matched the EU average per person between 2010 & 2019 – the NHS would have an extra £40bn annually. Important work by @HealthFdn@twitter.com.

We can have European level health services but only if we pay for it.

How wonderful.England’s rivers wont meet standards for good chemical health until 2063 they will contain toxic substances for decades. To think in September 2000 overall health of rivers was at 92% yet in 2022 they are at 14%. It is an absolute disgrace.

Don't trust the marketing of #BigTech if they tell you that everything is securely encrypted, keys are stored securely on a different server, the compute space is encrypted, everything is certified, etc.

If a iCloud bug can decrypt and access the wrong data, anyone else with enough access rights on the servers can do so too.

The best way to secure your data is to store them on the servers you trust.

A haiku about being an adult:

I am so tired
Where did all my money go?
My back is hurting

I'm so old I remember that both the US and the UK used to tax very high incomes at 90%. AFTER you made a bunch of money THE REST was taxed a lot. If you make $1 billion you "only" take home $100 million.

How MANY problems do we have now with billionaires screwing up both countries, and the rest of the people struggling?

So don't tell me about solutions until you raise top tax rates back where they should be in a democracy.

The POINT of top tax rates is redistribution.
