The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Rachel Reeves’ budget must reduce inequalities and increase spending capacity of the masses This is how to secure sustained economic growth

The UK state hands subsidies to corporations, doesn't invest directly in new industries, infrastructure'.

Corporate profits, dividends boom.

UK is left behind
UK invested 18.2% of GDP in productive assets
OECD countries' average 23%
China 40.4%
India 30.5%.

Neoliberalism is destroying the UK

Jane Fonda on the Trump regime, "Authoritarians take 18-22 months to consolidate power"

"Trump's administration is moving fast, which means we have to move fast"

"We have to do everything we can to stop what’s happening before it becomes the norm”

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs).

87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies.

Paid Β£1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK.

Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.

I rely on state pension and can’t turn on the heating in winter – we need more Sheila Cornell is finding the rising costs of bills unmanageable and is calling for the state pension to be doubled

Too many UK pensioners can't afford heating bills.

Despite the triple-lock state pension is less than 50% of min wage. 2m pensioners live in poverty. 128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty; 110,000 are pensioners.

Must end profiteering, align state pension with living wage.

Rotherham's vibrant, diverse and hopeful Unity boxing gym is an inspiring antidote to hate-filled politicians preaching division.

I renewed my car insurance yesterday over the phone and as I was about to hang up, the lady asked me if I had a pet. I said, β€œYes. I’ve got a dog.” She said, β€œWould you like to insure him, too?” I replied, β€œNo thank you. He can’t drive!”…

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to Β£530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

When was the last time you had your blood sugar checked? It might be worth looking into, a new study says.

Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, according to data analysis published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. https://cnn.it/3VaUfl8
