A thread for the ultra-wealthy.
If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you.
Here is why you are wrong…

Worth remembering that very right-wing oligarchs own The Times, The Sun, The Mail, The Telegraph (& the Sunday editions), the Spectator, GBeebies, Talk TV & the Conservative Party. The Express pursues their agenda for financial reasons. And they're all terrified of Gary Lineker.

Dear British Press,
There is nothing in Prince Harry’s autobiography as scandalous as the implosion of our NHS.
So please report on the things which are actually important
Thanks

IT'S OFFICIAL! Your right to drive outweighs the battle to stop the billionaire media telling deadly lies about the climate crisis.

I used to think i wouldn't see a revolution in my time, never mind in my own country....Now i honestly think it's going to happen, in my early years, and more importantly, it seems entirely necessary #GeneralStrike #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry #EnoughIsEnough #ToriesOut186

The NHS collapsing before our eyes, nurses using foodbanks, social care in perma-crisis, schools facing bankruptcy, rivers full of shit, privatised utilities brazenly ripping us off, licensed thieves walking off with billions, an epidemic of corruption. Enough of this misrule!

Word of the day is a reminder of ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect attention from one thing by making a big deal of something else entirely.

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Tory mindset is obscene, claps during pandemic, gives billions to chums for dodgy PPE which is then investigated by the National Crime Agency, deny nurses a decent wage and demonize unions just so they can privatise the NHS US style which will bankrupt their own citizens. #GTTO

People often tell me that the planet is too big for humans to change the climate.
But they don't grasp just how massive our CO2 emissions have been. Since the late 1700s we've emitted 1.7 trillion tons, more than the total biomass on earth or everything ever built by humans.
