Reform UK's insurance-based NHS would favour the wealthy and create a two-tier health system. No surprise there. But could insurance really be used to fund childbirth (standard delivery) at £8,000–£15,000? An excellent read from @dorseteye.bsky.social
"You can't combat a fossil fuel crisis by doubling down on fossil fuels." Milliband. He's quite right. Reform UK's obsession with scrapping net zero is because their "opaque" funding likely comes from the same fossil fuel lobby that we see in the US.
I've complained to the BBC. Follow the replies to see the clip on iPlayer and a link to complain.
Couldn't agree more. More alternative provision is also needed.

The Daily Mail is running a story about North Sea oil this weekend. It says Britain is sitting on a goldmine and Ed Miliband is blocking it. The story is false in every material respect, and the falseness is not complicated. 1/4
This is a great explanation of a big issue with our power generation at home. I hope the Iran crisis focuses investment in the right areas!
Since the war on Iran began on Feb 28, Israel has launched near-daily attacks on Lebanon, Gaza, and the occupied West Bank.
In that time, Israel killed at least 107 people, permitted only 8% of medical evacuations, and admitted just 20% of aid trucks into Gaza.

Approx 50% of GB News is owned by Legatum Ventures, part of the Dubai-based Legatum Group, a private investment firm. Doesn't sound very patriotic.

Britain has the least generous state pension in the G7 and the highest rate of pensioner poverty in western Europe. And all I'm reading in the rightwing press is 'scrap the triple lock'.
Huge backfire from @privateeyenews.bsky.social
