In yesterday's pre-budget speech Rachel Reeves said she was focused on "protecting the NHS".

Private funding has been disaster for the NHS. Trusts are paying back up to 27* over their original PFI deals.

The best way to protect it is to say NO to a new round of private finance arrangements.

For 40 years, workers’ share of national income has fallen as union rights eroded—made worse by 14 years of Tory wage stagnation.

Labour’s task is to raise living standards.

The Employment Rights Bill delivers that—let’s defend it and deliver a fairer world of work.

Excerpt from column in The i Paper https://inews.co.uk/opinion/rachel-reeves-speech-income-tax-budget-labour-starmer-4020771 New research from the Unite union, which represents workers in the energy sector, found that energy companies made £30bn in profit from the UK energy system in 2024 – which equates to around £500 per household and a quarter of business bills. People expect a Labour Government to tackle obscene profiteering like this.

There's a case for raising income tax to fund public services, but there's a much stronger case to tackle the cost of living crisis by clamping down on profiteering.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Today ScotRail has started procurement of a new suburban train fleet.

This is a fantastic opportunity to end the failed private model of PFI and rolling stock companies.

Instead the Scottish Government should issue Green Bonds to fund new stock and save passengers money.
