Ann Johns, Grumpy Geordie Gran #PAL #Save our NHS

Internationalist Democratic Socialists want the world to work for everyone; simply common sense. The rich want it only to work for themselves using divide & rule to get & keep power. North V south, old V young, nation V nation. We've never needed a powerful UN more with NO VETO!

Successive governments 'asleep at the wheel' on adult social care, says Baroness Casey head of the independent commission looking into the sector, developing in a devalued, uncontrolled, unintended way, unlike the deliberate design of the NHS resulting in a postcode lottery.

Must be nothing else going on in the world, as for the last week almost every front page has been pre-occupied with Brand, Markle, now Walliams. Heinous & horrific, with lasting trauma for victims, BUT Trump's still sabre rattling, Gazans are killed & we're trying to survive.

Meghan made her first appearance since TM was charged with possessing child sex abuse material, joining Harry at the EU Parliament. He gave a speech calling for greater online protection for children. Harry said he & Meghan stood alongside parents who lost children to online harm

Nvidia suffered a damaging blow when its co-founder, Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with a suspected Chinese spy & apologised.. Shares in the chipmaker one of the world's most valuable companies fell by 8% in early trading. Trump & Musk expressed support for him.

Poundland can't buy new stock after being blocked by American owner Gordon (Scrooge) Brothers from accessing £50M cash in its bank accounts. 600 shops are almost out of stock, running on fumes & have till Thursday to secure a rescue deal. Save jobs, ban foreign asset strippers.

Rank hypocrisy? The establishment lines up to mourn those killed and crippled in wars while gearing up for yet more endless unwinnable wars?

Major General Mike Fayers, the head of the Defence, Cyber & Electromagnetic Force, confirms hunt forces are being sent overseas to disrupt hackers preparing to attack Britain's military systems. Er, maybe better NOT to warn them.

Department for Transport says UK rail network risks grey war cyber attack expressing concerns about vulnerability to threats network wide. Govt is warned that a major hack from a hostile state could disrupt train services for a week, cost£1.8B & paralyse some lines immediately.

David Cameron call to end NHS dementia drug block, joining 48 leading dementia specialists & former health ministers to provide the treatments through the NHS. It'll pay for itself in the long run, by reducing NHS geriatric care and Care services for the elderly.

Torys say Lisa Nandy has insulted veterans by using Remembrance Sunday to make an EU membership pitch suggesting Brexit has damaged the legacy of British vets & describing the timing as tone deaf. HOW? Nandy noted the govt's work to secure a 30% discount to rejoin EU's Erasmus.

Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori is currently challenging the group's proscription at the Supreme Court, saying Palestine Action's ban under anti-terror laws was 'beyond our comprehension'. Its beyond comprehension unless you know how much bung ministers get from Israel.

@owenjonesjourno is right. Now is NOT the time for smug complacency. Give voters what they need or JD may be the next president.

Todays front pages are dominated by a convicted rapist & an alleged paedophile. There are calls to reform how sexual offences are prosecuted. Andy Burnham has said rape victims should not be made to feel "like they are on trial". Damn right they shouldn't.

Dec 2015 Prof Roger Kemp knew something was very wrong when streetlights went off. Only 2 communication systems working were copper wire landlines & FM radio. A recent summit on UK resilience, focused on the need for us to be able to withstand such an event for a min 72 hrs.

Thomas Markle has been arrested in Florida, in connection with allegations he possessed child sex abuse material. Markle was in handcuffs surrounded by FBI personnel while he sits in a wheelchair. The case remains under seal,

Brand dominates most front pages as the world goes on. Tech stock values plummeted globally in a slowdown in AI development after midterms won by Dems, where data centres are a key issue for voters. Trump restated support for AI: 'foolish leaders say no to the riches they bring'.

A US could ruled The Pitt is similar enough to ER (1994) for a lawsuit against its producers. Michael Crichton's widow says its effectively a reboot of the series made without proper permission or credit. BUT maybe ER copied Casualty (1986) & every other medical drama!

Labour leader of Sheffield City Council said a deal will be announced about continuing a power-sharing deal with @TheGreenParty after a row over racist Zionism & Labour telling 11 councils to break power deals & show they'd continue working constructively together going forward.
