UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial and commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works. Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland. theguardian.com/environment/…

It was a pleasure to speak with James Murray, #SecretaryOfStateForHealthAndSocialCare and Baroness Merron #UnderSecretaryOfState at #Westminster with #NMNC to plan recommendations & solutions to rebuild maternity care that is equitable, safe, compassionate & human rights-centred.

The NHS workforce debate is built on a lie. Britain has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios in the developed world; yet instead of mass expansion of doctors, the state chose a cheaper experiment: Physician Associate and ACP quackery. 1/3 ft.com/content/f7e0196e-c2aa… via @ft

Are you ready to pay £1,000bn+ by 2050 to keep England's water in private hands? Shareholders will be richer. People won't own anything. Why do Ministers never talk about the cost of privatisation? Soon water will cost as much as energy. End the scam. leftfootforward.org/2025/07/…

NO, systemic Body-identical HRT doesn’t increase the risk of Cardiovascular Disease in women The tragic death of #shefalijariwala is being used to push the wrong medical information around #hrt to #southasian women. Systemic Transdermal body identical oestrogen HRT such as patches, gels and sprays - do not increase the risk of heart attacks, clots and stroke. Systemic Body identical Micronised progesterone also doesn’t increase the risk of clots. Systemic synthetic oral HRT and oral progestin was linked to a small increased risk of clots - but this has been heavily debated about the accuracy Topical low dose vaginal oestrogen for #genitourinarysyndromeofmenopause does not increase risk of heart attacks or clots combined oral contraceptives are linked to a small increased risk in clots and therefore each patient has to be risk assessed #southasian #womenshealth #evidencebasedmedicine Ref: BMS HRT recommendations thebms.org.uk/publications/c…

Only 30% of pall care is NHS funded. Given today's vote, @Keir_Starmer, will you least commit to dramatically increasing palliative care provision so that patients don't "choose" to end their lives because we don't give them the care that might make life worth living?

The West has abandoned its humanity. They brand killing as defense. They parade bombing as peace. They disguise genocide as justice.

How can we have a law that is passed to fund assisted suicide when we don’t we even have funding for palliative care?! It’s not “patient choice” if they can’t access palliative treatment, hospice care or a hospital bed because of cuts

The Nhs is broke and yet it is willing to pay someone with no medical training £10,000 more salary a year than a fully qualified doctor - and then let them have a go at diagnosing / treating you the patient....
As it turns out, the NHS can afford to pay some staff well. But not doctors. You will continue to be devalued unless we stand up and demand pay restoration. Vote YES in the ballot today.

Whilst others were receiving furlough, our colleagues were risking their lives to keep the NHS afloat. As people clapped on the street for NHS workers, they cut your pay. Now they call you greedy for wanting your pay restored. Remember that.

NHS doctors are at breaking point. Exhausted. Pushed out of the country by @UKLabour’s cuts to frontline care. Underpaid. These are fully qualified professionals saving lives for just £17/hr. They’re asking for £22/hr; a modest, fair wage for the work doctors do. But @wesstreeting is refusing to negotiate. Same old Tory tactics. No respect. No Government action. When there’s no doctor at your bedside, remember who drove them away.

Yesterday I joined human rights campaigners to demand that the UK government ends all arms sales to Israel. 
Well done to @AmnestyUK, @AAH_UK, @christian_aid, @friends_earth, @GlobalJusticeUK, @IslamicReliefUK, @oxfamgb & @CAFODSchools for coming together in support of peace.

1 in 5 care homes do close, so it is inevitable that it will happen. This research looks at how directors of social services, individuals and families have experienced care homes closure. @meena1982 @JonGlasby

A very moving film about the distress that older people and their families when care homes close. Led by @meena1982 and made and narrated by @differentfilms . This research provides a road map in how to do this in the best way possible
