It's so glaringly exposed in McSweeney's inept machinations and Starmer's appeasement. It got them up the greasy pole and now there they are, in full view, with their thumbs up their arses.
No vision. No moral purpose. No passion. And it shows.

Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made Β£250m profits in 3 years,
Β£87.7m of profits went to care providers owned by private equity controlled from tax havens.
Profits mean money buys less. Higher taxes for less service.
Say NO to privatisation.

The BBC has a long record of doctoring footage. But consequences only seem to follow when the Right are maligned.
1984: BBC reverses order of footage of Battle of Orgreave, portraying miners as aggressors. No apology.
2017: Newsnight edits interviews with Corbyn. No apology; Kuenssberg promoted.

If the UK government partnership with BlackRock becomes a model replicated elsewhere, debt-financed utility ownership could become normalised internationally.
The UK is being privatised.

In November 2024 Starrmer announced that his government is in partnership with US Blackrock, a mega corporation that buys up just about anything with pension funds, and money from investors/shareholders at a higher-than-market-value value price.
