Kemi, this is exactly the sort of rot that corrodes public trust, because it relies on the hope that most people will not know how #Motability actually works. Let’s start with the basics. You do not get a @Motability car because you feel a bit anxious. You do not wander into…

I’ve done a bit of research into these claims, and here is what I found regarding how Kemi is misrepresenting the facts and why this is pure disinformation: 1. The "Free Car" Myth: Framing this as a "taxpayer-funded car" is a complete distortion of how Motability works. It is…

💷 In just 5 years, NHS trusts spent £3 billion paying off private finance deals. 60% of that — £1.8 billion — went on interest alone. That’s not investment. It’s extraction. Our NHS deserves better.... Read full report: everydoctor.org.uk/nhs-trusts-to-…

Over 9 million views @Keir_Starmer What’s it going to take? These national heroes have now waited more than a year for a meeting to discuss the justice & compensation Labour committed to in opposition. They are now in their eighties and are dying waiting for justice. This is…

The court is erasing Banksy's mural just like it's erasing our right to protest. It only took 48 hours for the Royal Courts of Justice to scrub out a @Banksy showing a judge striking down a protester with his gavel. Silencing a work of art about silencing protest? Maybe it was…

We’re aware of some online rumours, to clarify, no flags were harmed during the CCTV installation. The photo shows officers fitting a camera at a local church after vandalism reports. The flag stayed put. Please share to help stop misinformation and keep the facts flying high.

Power to the people! We need a huge reset in the relationship between government & the people. It’s time to trust communities instead of ignoring them, to harness their common sense rather than being led by the half-baked ideas of those far removed from the reality of daily life.
