Dear America, I know that some of you don’t really care but can I just point out respectfully to those that do, that this thing your President just said about us is actually, factually complete nonsense? xitter.gq/channel4news/status/99…
"They don't have guns, they have knives, and instead there's blood all over the floors of this hospital." President @realDonaldTrump says he has read that a central London hospital is now "a war zone for horrible stabbing wounds"

Noam Chomsky, a world-renowned political analyst, explains the standard technique of privatisation: * Defund * Make sure things don’t work * People get angry * You hand it over to private capital RT if that sounds scarily familiar to you and follow to fight against it

It makes no sense to sell men and women grossly stereotypical ideas about gender when our Bible has men writing poetry and women bankrolling Jesus. It’s almost like social and political factors play a greater role in our theology of gender than the Bible does.

As the Royal Free doctor Charles House said ‘have Brexit or the NHS. you can’t have both’. Becoming ever clearer he was right. xitter.gq/ProgressOnline/status/…
Concern about Brexit’s impact on the NHS and social care has a greater potential to change minds even than the economy, writes @BenPBradshaw prog.rs/95w

Meet Massa from Tombohuaun. She carried so many buckets of water on her head that her hair began to fall out - now that it's grown back her oldest daughter Jame is braiding it. Want to keep the good times going and bring water to Tombohuaun? watera.id/2C1mmse
The challenge for the sensible majority in 2018 is how to decouple ourselves from this increasingly absurd and damaging internal Tory Party pantomime. It’s been going on for 30 years now and will likely go on for the next 30. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Non-clinical NHS staff rarely get praised but there will be thousands working over Christmas and the NHS would collapse if they weren’t there - please RT if you haven’t forgotten about them #MerryXmasNHS

It's #HumanRightsDay - everyone has the human right to clean water, but this won't help Nancy, 6, from Tombohuaun, who has to collect and drink water so dirty it could kill her. This winter, with your help, we're going to change this: wateraid.org/uk/uk/tombohuau… #UKaid #Untapped

Did you know that if you text 07725909090 when you're really depressed a crisis councillor will text with you? Some people would be more comfortable texting. This is a service set up by Samaritans. Please copy and paste. You never know who may be needing it. #itsokaynottobeokay

Today's agreement welcome as reduces risk of catastrophic No Deal Brexit. But still a long way from a final deal, and even further from delivering on what Brexiters promised. British people, not Tory MPs and the DUP, should get final say on whether that deal is good enough

"We know that when refuge places aren't available women will go back to a violent perpetrator, we know that they will sleep rough, we know that their safety will be put further at risk. And we see this happening every day of the week already.” bit.ly/2zXtsgY

We tend to ROMANTICIZE the poor who are geographically distant. "They're so happy!" And DEMONIZE the needy on our own doorstep. "Lazy bums"
