Lisa and Larry BT

How we can fight back against the right-wing coup For a better future the power of corporations and wealthy elites must be curbed and reversed

Right wing coup = profits for corporations.

Services privatised.

Adult social care, profit margins of up to 42%.

Privately owned cataract surgeries, profit margins 32% - 43%.

Children’s care homes average profits of 23%.

Public money buys less. Higher taxes to pay for corporate profits.

Two weeks after we brought puppy Larry home, Covid happened and we had to work from home. Perfect timing. #backintime #btposse #dogsofbluesky

Here were some key insights shared 🧵

"By committing to changing this, the Government has wisely taken a step in the right direction - but First Past the Post is just as flawed when it comes to general elections."

Hi, I think if you click on my name to view the post you might be able to see the comments 🙂

Wow that’s so similar to Larry’s blurry shake 😀

The UK economy is doing better than you think.

Forget the doom and gloom for a moment. There are growing signs it’s quietly gaining strength.

Here are 5 bright spots:

We are so sorry to hear this sad news. Take care ❤️‍🩹

📢 No More First Past the Post Elections! Thursday’s election results confirm what so many of us already know: the current voting system is broken. With 5 parties polling strongly, First Past the Post is delivering chaos and turning election...

Yes a very pretty girl ❤️

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

This awful story just keeps getting worse than I could possibly imagine 😢

BAM!

We know who we hate. #btposse #dogs #dogsofbluesky

Sunday morning lay in. Any other BTs still in bed?
#btposse

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Sitting down to compose a hopeful message for 2025 is a tough ask given the year we’ve just had. Even glib sentiments are hard to come by. The defeat of pro-democracy forces in the US presidential election still weighs like a heavy anchor on my attempts to move on. 1/11

that no one gives a shit anymore and resistance is futile. We all have days when we feel that way, but cynicism is a cancer on the body politic and my new years resolution is to do everything I can to curb its pernicious influence on my reasoning. 10/11

Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas from Larry. We are having a break in the campervan, lots of snoozing and plenty of beach action 🏖️🎄🐾 #terriertuesday
