It's clear that after years of being held down that workers need a pay rise.
The wealthy get richer but refuse to pay proper tax, unlike the rest of us.
Wealth distribution from the poor to the rich must stop.

NHS staff are on their knees & the system is in crisis, but we know that the money is there for pay rises. We are a rich country - but that money is often not being paid through taxation by the wealthiest, even by some of our politicians.

Let’s take the country back from those who already have far too much and only want more - at the price of those who need it most

Ending therapy can feel hard
Engaging with endings is integral to the therapeutic process, and why therapy is transformative for many people
From guilt to anxiety, learning to manage the difficult feelings related to ending meaningful or unsatisfactory relationships is possible
Are you wondering how to end things with your therapist?
In this thoughtful @theipaper piece, UKCP psychotherapists Dwight Turner and @QualiaInterAlia share advice on navigating this important and often emotional step.

Labour Party turns its back on the elderly, disabled people and now puts the blame of government failings onto immigrants
Don't be fooled: Labour is also failing non immigrants of Britain, pushing a forecasted 250’000 more into poverty by 2030

During a discussion on BBC Sunday Morning Live @bbcsml about the benefits system, I was asked whether mental health issues have increased due to lack of resilience in people - here's what I said
#benefits #mentalhealth #resilience #inequality #austerity @BBC
Stop allowing politicians to penalise the poor for bad govt choices. There is a better way than cutting benefits of those struggling due to austerity: a fairer more equitable tax system that helps deal with inequality, not increase it @bbcsml @pplsassembly @BBC #tax #benefits
Chris Nineham has been an organiser and chief steward for anti-war demonstrations for 25 years, and chief steward of the demonstrations has been arrested and is being held at Walworth Police Station. Anyone who can head there for a sit-in outside the station to demand his release
I'll be MCing tomorrow's rally
See you there
The @Conservatives have shown utter contempt for our NHS, and now @UKLabour are following in their greedy footsteps, putting profit before people, pushing for more private involvement at any human cost
Vote LEFT #July4
Vote NHS
The NHS is not for sale.
Join us tomorrow at 11AM for an emergency rally to defend a health service that is fully-public, fully-funded and free at the point of use.
We have a message to anybody looking to promote private healthcare: keep your hands off our NHS!

My chat this morning with @NickFerrariLBC on @LBC responding to Labour's plans to cut waiting lists:
"We need to think about investing back into the NHS rather than partnership with the private sector because that's costly and not shown to be effective."

My chat with @TrishaGoddard about the worrying resurgence of 'traditional gender roles' and why they are not a good thing for men or women
We need to stop insisting men are leaders and women need to stay at home
People are complex - the one size fits all model is destroying us

My chat with life long #NHS campaigner @jeremycorbyn about how we can continue fighting for it to be restored
Private tendering means lower wages for staff and lesser quality healthcare for patients
Continued focus on private health care will mean many more will go without
Earlier this month the #NHS turned 75
@QualiaInterAlia & @jeremycorbyn discuss the important history of our NHS and how we can continue fighting for our National Health Service
Give the video a watch and share #NHS75 👇

Pay teachers properly and fund our schools adequately.
Working class children are worth just as much as any other and deserve a decent education in properly resourced, safe buildings that are fit for purpose, not asbestos infested, crumbling death traps.

Vanessa didn't realise she was basically completely proving my point - even the highly paid consultants are moonlighting in order to get better pay and conditions
Privatisation only steals taxpayer MONEY from the #NHS and STAFF from its patients
@keepnhspublic @NurseSayNO
🗣️@QualiaInterAlia "The issues that we are seeing in the NHS have been around for a long time now, after years of critical underfunding.
NHS staff have been struggling with understaffing and suppressed wages."

Respect to all out on #JuniorDoctorsStrike picket lines
Drs, like many of us, struggle to work in an underfunded #NHS that the gov routinely steal from via privatisation
This isn't just about pay/respect for the profession, but respecting our healthservice too
