The numbers are clear - food inflation has risen by 38% yet Tesco's operating profits have skyrocketed by 72%. How can this be right? It is time the Labour govt stops being missing in action when it comes to tackling profiteering. https://t.co/SHlD769LCi

Tesco defended profits as it benefited from people cooking at home and eating in more, with an uptick of fresh food sales and cooking from scratch.

Health(s)care. A short talk for the 8th of August #severemeday2025 about how healthcare can be a frightening place for those of us living with severe ME. We urgently need things to change. We need support, and you can help. Because speaking, 1/ https://t.co/oeOOkiCqzR

This has been my reality for 32 years. #SevereME No real treatment because there has been no serious research funding. The psych/behavioural lobby make sure of this despite ample proof of physiological damage. How many more generations will live in dark rooms alone and ignored?

The need for additional cost of living payments in the benefit system shows that the level of benefits is now too low.

🚨PLEASE SHARE WIDELY🚨 Today, MPs will vote on cutting £3,000 a year from 750,000 low-income sick and disabled people deemed too ill to work. That’s a £2 BILLION cut. This has had hardly any media coverage. And the Government snuck out the Impact Assessment only last night.
