Repairs left unfinished as firm behind huge schools PFI contract goes into liquidation The news heightens concerns that 88 schools in Stoke-on-Trent could be left with unfinished work.

School repairs left unfinished as firm behind PFI contract goes into liquidation.

Massive profiteering from PFI. After 25-30 years assets need to be in good condition before transfer to the public body. Then the company goes bust.

Govt doing more PFI deals.

Drowning in denial: one in five homes in Reform UK heartlands faces flooding in 25 years Even as the party rolls back climate action, Reform-controlled councils sit on some of England’s worst rising flood risks

So, #r4today reports on the Covid inquiry and the “too little, too late” Tory govt, then says they’ll be talking to *Lord* Gove about it. Ugh.
That just sums up so much that’s so very wrong with our politics and media.
Rewarding, rather than punishing, those responsible for failing us all.

The UK has fallen behind the EU on climate policies, but cooperating with the EU could achieve cheaper bills, healthier communities, and a thriving natural world. As COP30 comes to a close tomorrow, we’re calling on the Government to team up with the EU to save our planet @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Cryptocurrency backed by Farage donor is used for Russian war effort, investigators say Tether tokens found to facilitate scheme that enables sanctions evasion and launders money for the Kremlin

It never stops.
The grubby donations. The profiteering. The lobbying. The lies.
“In 2019-20, as the UK was leaving the EU, Harborne gave £10m to Nigel Farage’s Brexit party, since renamed Reform UK.”
They make damn sure they get what they want.
We get screwed.

Can you let me know when Johnson’s trial for gross misconduct in public office/gross negligence manslaughter will be?
Just asking for a country beyond sick of having to suffer the consequences of these charlatans and their don’t-give-a-fuck-cos-we-don’t-need-to abuses of power.

🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

Gary Stevenson, "You cannot allow the richest people in your society to take a bigger share, in economies with almost no growth, and not expect ordinary families to get poorer"

"The reason ordinary families and the gov get poorer year after year is because of this massively increasing inequality"

Get this.

In 2024, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made nearly $96 million for just *four months* of work.

That’s 6,666 times what the average barista earns.

PLEASE - don’t buy Starbucks while workers are on ULP strike. #NoContractNoCoffee

Ex-MPs working for lobbyists use privileged access to parliament A number of former politicians who are now paid to help influence policymakers have visited the parliamentary estate, but deny doing so for lobbying

Former MPs working for lobbying firms have utilised their continued access to parliament on hundreds of occasions, with campaigners claiming there is a “high risk” it has been misused by some.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Private equity firms taking millions in profits from care sector each year, new analysis reveals Analysis finds private companies running care services took more than £250m in profits in just three English regions over the course of three years

Private Equity Curse.

PE firms taking millions in profits from care sector each yr, over a third are in tax havens

£256m profit in three England regions, £45m in dividends, £33.6m paid in interest mostly to affiliates in tax havens.

Less spent on care. Yet govts handing NHS to PE.

The current FBI Dr. and DOJ are going to destroy files.

Lots of evidence that BBC Scotland reporting of Nicola Sturgeon when First Minister, was not impartial. Not only was it anti-SNP Scottish Govt & anti-Scotland, it was also classist & misogynistic. A smart working class woman who ran evidence-based effective govt was attacked relentlessly by BBCScot.

Disgusting vile individuals!

Traditional English pastime.

NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ Black and Asian staff left feeling ‘deliberately intimidated’, according to chief executive of one NHS trust

“A sustained campaign of anti-migrant rhetoric is fuelling a growing cesspool of racism, including against international and ethnic minority nursing staff, without whom our health and care system would simply cease to function.”

How disgraceful.
