I want to take a totally unearned lap. After 25 years as a Green Party activist and 84 years as Bernie Sanders' brother I celebrate the emergence of two young men, Zack Polanski and Zhoran Mamdani, who will be leaders in the battle for a new and better world. A day for optimism.

The Cambridgeshire train stabbings are absolutely horrific - and beyond traumatising for the passengers. Some are using these attacks as evidence that the UK is in the grip of violent anarchy. That's not true. Violence has, thankfully, been plummeting for many years.

Time and again we told @NHSEngland & @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting @SKinnock that this roll out of online consultations isn’t ready. We were ignored. Our concerns dismissed. The software isn’t safe. Here’s some real life examples of what’s going on now. It’s frightening….

Racism towards nurses has hit a 'crisis point' in the UK. That's the stark warning from the nursing and midwifery regulator. It comes as a report from the Nurses' Union finds that incidents of racism have increased by 55% in the last three years. But with many too scared to

"The number of NHS appointments, tests & operations delivered by private hospitals & clinics has increased by c500,000 this year; now at 6.15 million." Every appointment moved to private hands weakens the NHS we all rely on. This wasn't Bevan's plan. https://t.co/unf56ChvKT

Using spare capacity in the private sector is key to the government’s target of ensuring that 92 per cent of patients in England should wait no longer than 18 weeks from referral to treatment

Thank you for sharing this. Sorry to hear your experience but it’s so important. This new(ish) government and @wesstreeting are pursuing an ‘apps, tech and AI are the answer to everything’ dangerous path. 20-30% of ppl will be disadvantaged and even more will be short-changed.

You know what is fundamentally un-British? Further clamping down on the right to peacefully protest — a hard-won democratic freedom secured over generations by some of the greatest movements in our history, including the Chartists, Trade Unions and the Suffragettes.
