BP’s new boss will take home at least Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor Meg O’Neill will be first woman to serve as CEO of 117-year-oil firm when joining from Woodside Energy in April

BP’s new CEO to take home Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor.

Daily pay > annual median pay of UK employee.

CEO pay at one company is a benchmark for another. Others will want more.

Govts, BOE, CBI and other neoliberals talk about wage inflation, but silence on fat-cattery.

The Prime Minister is asked about abolishing leasehold.

He answers on management companies and ground rents that makes it really clear Labour have no intention of abolishing leasehold.

5 million people stuck paying service charges because Labour stand with property developers.

#WATCH | β€œI have been living through wars since I was six. In 1971, and in 1982, and in 2000-something. And it’s still wars, wars, wars.”

Like thousands of people from south Lebanon, Aliyeh Hijazi has been on the road for days, since fighting between Israel and Hezbollah resumed.

A reporter said to Richard Burton, at a time when he had recently given Liz Taylor the world's biggest diamond engagement ring & had their yacht moored by Tower Bridge, "How can you call yourself a socialist when you live like this?"
Burton replied "I think everyone should be able to live like this"

UK competition watchdog investigates hotel groups over alleged data sharing Regulator looks into claim Hilton, InterContinental Hotels and Marriott could be sharing β€˜competitively sensitive’ information via analytics tool

UK competition watchdog investigates Hilton, InterContinental Hotels (IHG) and Marriott.

Suspicion of sharing β€œcompetitively sensitive” information to fix prices, boost profits.

Bug business ready and willing to construct harmful practices.

Yet neoliberals deregulate. Let corporations run amok.

I got a call from my bank saying they want to talk to me about my financial needs.

Refugee status becomes temporary in asylum shake-up Adults and accompanied children claiming asylum will only receive refugee status for 30 months under the changes.

Why is this fascism presented so passively? Labour has decided to strip refugees of their status: THEY don't become 'temporary', Labour has decided that their human rights are temporary, FFS!

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor Katharine Braddick’s appointment to PRA comes as government seeks to reform regulation to boost growth

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor.

She will also serve as one of the BoE’s deputy governors

Expect more deregulation.

Revolving doors and cognitive capture is now the norm in the regulatory structures.

A regulator can't promote industry and protect people from corporate abuses

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite share buyback British aero-engine company will return between Β£7bn and Β£9bn to investors over next three years amid soaring demand

Corporate Welfare

Rolls-Royce boss defends state aid bid for new engine despite record profits and Β£9bn share buyback.

Corporate bosses attack benefits for the needy and decent wages for workers but want free money.

No free money for any corporation without equity stake.
