New long read: The Priory Group receives over £2bn a year from UK taxpayers - and for what? Harriet Williamson reports on force-feeding, untrained agency staff, criminal safety failures and the ‘mad’ youth activists who aren’t having it any more. novaramedia.com/2025/03/27/pri…
For five years, Vertex CEO Reshma Kewalramani has ignored #CysticFibrosis patients. 💰 She’s made $80M, but thousands can’t access lifesaving #Trikafta because Vertex Pharmaceuticals keeps it priced at $326K/year. Take action with us: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-v… Vertex Save Us
A few days ago, I hosted young PIP claimants from Just Treatment 💊 in Parliament so MPs could hear their concerns about plans to cut disability benefits. I will continue to oppose these cuts. I reiterated my pledge to vote against them if the government pushes ahead.
I know that millions of people across the country are scared and worried about the proposed cuts to disability benefits. I met with representatives from Just Treatment 💊 to hear directly from young PIP claimants about their concerns over planned benefit cuts.
Blocked from entering a ‘CF community’ meeting by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Inexcusable & indefensible. #Trikafta4All #RightToBreathe Vertex Save Us Just Treatment 💊
🚨 BREAKING: We disrupted Labour minister Darren Jones MP's event over his disgraceful comments comparing PIP to 'pocket money'. 300,000 people face poverty from these cruel cuts. Along with Green New Deal Rising, we demand @UKGovt make a U-turn on PIP changes - tax the super-rich instead!

BREAKING: Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds confronted by young PIP claimants over deadly disability cuts. The Labour Party would rather plunge hundreds of thousands of disabled people into poverty than tax wealth. Time to stop #TakingThePIP, & make the super-rich #PayUp. Green New Deal Rising
Proud to join Just Treatment 💊 to challenge Jonathan Reynolds on his government's indefensible cuts to disability benefits. Last year, billionaires added £35 million to their fortunes every day. It's time to stop the cuts, protect the vulnerable and make the richest PAY UP.
"EVIDENCE OF DEATH" | After the abrupt end of US aid, the health system in central Mozambique descended into chaos. Spotlight and GroundUp describe how the funding cuts affected hospitals. In the ensuing turmoil, children died. Jesse Copelyn spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/06/25/dea…
After more than 18 months of relentless bombing and military attacks, Gaza is now being deliberately starved. A man-made catastrophe, created by Israel’s siege & bombing. Enabled by UK arms, silence, and political cover. Keir Starmer, David Lammy & the UK govt are complicit.
Why we & 38 Degrees delivered a massive cheque and 250,000 signatures to the UK government…
