The crisis in the UK's #healthcare system is not just about immediate care, but also the lack of really good prevention strategies; a case in point being the ballooning incidence of #diabetes - #Tory defunding of the NHS is having real #health costs to millions.
This callous & damaging attempt to promote private health care (thought engineering a crisis in public provision) is killing us!

@johnmcternan I can't wait to have a pro-Brexit, pro-austerity, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-trans neoliberal right wing party in government. It will be revolutionary.

What do we want?
No auto renewal on subscriptions.
When do we want it?
2025.
The Labour Party. 🤡
This country helped found the ECHR - and the reasons were good and noble, for once. If people want to leave it they have to explain why in terms that aren't just racist shite.

Why is the Fed putting the onus of fighting inflation on workers and consumers rather than on the corporations largely responsible for driving up prices — and padding profit margins?
This is wrong. It’s ridiculous policy. And it’s profoundly unfair.
Stop raising rates.

A trick the BBC uses to distort:
Corruption gets called "sleaze"
Far-right thugs get called "right wing activists"
Wealthy sex offenders get called "disgraced"
And chums of Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson get called "chairman of the BBC"

"Don't make me think" is only half of the story.
It's a #UX sin to assume that your app is the most important thing in your user's world, and add to their cognitive load unnecessarily. But sometimes the user *is* focused on your product. They don't want a low-touch, automagic experience. They want to be in control. Let them.
Don't *make* me think - but *let* me think.
This is part of why "reduce friction" is misleading. Friction is texture. Without it, there's nothing to grab on to

Elon Musk's fortune, which ultimately enabled his takeover of Twitter, has been padded by billions in subsidies and contracts paid for by American taxpayers.
Just in case anyone needed that reminder.

This is a yoga class. No children are forced to partake in religion in mainstream UK schools. But you can't grift from that. https://twitter.com/FreedomsBritish/status/1646651853055164416

Sick bastard.

It was the Austerity that The Economist backed all the way.
Disingenuous journalism.

Either Liz Truss, numerous other @Conservatives & the right-wing "news" media aren't aware of the circumstances that led to Churchill & others lobbying for what would become the ECHR, or - much more likely - they are perfectly aware of them.
RT @WasOnceLoved
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t think Liz Truss is a galloping loon? Does anyone take her seriously?

When you and I said this, beginning several months back, centrists exploded, spouting reams of dubious facts. Nice to see the cat finally out of the bag.

Rishi Sunak, together with his wife, is worth £730ml. He made his hundreds of millions as an investment banker. Moving money, creating nothing.
He now describes Doctors demanding £19 an hour for saving lives as ‘unreasonable’.
It’s disgusting.
