1/9 Steve Reed and his £100bn: a timeline.
Steve Reed says he won’t nationalise the water industry, because it would cost £100bn.
👀So where does that figure come from?👀
He claims that it comes from his own department.
🚨But it looks like it came from the private water companies.

Banking giant threatened to leave UK over mooted tax hike JP Morgan Chase wrote to Rachel Reeves to lobby against rumoured banking surcharge rise ahead of autumn budget

Who Governs?

JP Morgan threatened to quit UK over mooted tax rise for banks.

CEO met Reeves/Starmer, tax didn't rise.

Govt cut benefits, dept budgets; real tax rises for others.

Corporations dodge taxes, bully govts and govern. Curbing their power is essential for any form of democracy.

Keir Starmer must take action to make sure the strategy scraps the cruel two-child limit policy in full at the Autumn Budget, and the Comprehensive Spending Review in June must be a start in helping families struggling most with the cost of living.

Labour no longer sees anything other than personal gain, right wing media headlines and noisy racist voters' opinions. Personally I hold more contempt for Labour than for Tories now. At least the Tories don't pretend to be something else.

If you covered 0.4% of the UK's farmland in Solar Panels you would have 100% Renewable Energy.

The UK already imports more than 40% of its food.

Solar Panels are not going to have ANY effect on food prices.

In Parliament REFORM have voted against:

Ban on fire/rehire of workers on worse working conditions.
Ban on exploitative Zero-hour contracts
Improvements to paternity leave
Allowing workers bereavement leave
Improvements in sick pay

Why are workers supporting a party that will reduce their welfare?

The Labour Party is asleep at the wheel, out of touch with the electorate. The right of the party are more interested in excluding the left than listening to the people. The left was always a broad church the party now is devoid of policies replicating tories failed policies.

Do you say no to racist Reform UK?

Not sure any of them can help. Their leadership, their actions continuing austerity supporting Genocide hasn’t exactly endeared them to their natural voters. My view Labour will lose big.As much as I disagree with Bristow I am voting Green.

Repeatedly people telling me - joined by the BBC & the Guardian - they're fed up with old two party politics & ready for change.

I think you mean its lost the motor traffic that congested the road and made it one of Cambridgeshires most dangerous roads according to the local police. Since the bridge has been restricted more people are walking and cycling in both Romsey & Petersfield. Its people not cars that give a place life

You are already paying all the money needed to Nationalise Water on your bills.

But you are getting absolutely nothing.

Exactly like Rishi Sunak's £200bn to the Energy Companies.

You should own them now, but you have nothing.

This agenda represents the only real opposition to the Labour-Tory consensus.

At the start of the 20th century the Western World was a nightmare, the richest had all the money and the other 99% lived in squalor, terrible wages, no pensions, no rights, filthy water, no electricity.

Then the people organised and took control.

It needs to happen again.

I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the government to rethink cruel & completely irresponsible proposed huge cuts to disabled people’s support when they are already three times more likely to face hunger.

This is how you can help
