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

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

Reform…. crooks of a feather stick together… farridge and house buying tax dodge !!?

Surely some good investigative journalism is needed here @bylinetimes.bsky.social @lewisgoodall.com

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

Congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social on your stunning victory.

Your campaign took on the rich and powerful, stood up for the dignity of all marginalised communities, and gave people hope!

Real change is coming. I look forward to working with you to bring about a fairer, kinder world.

Nick Robinson on #R4Today blithely stating that everyone (in the UK) "is against the ECHR".

Absolute biased prick

Murdering journalists is a war crime.

NO! It's BRIBERY.

It's murdering for its own sake

There's been a bigger scandal over a BBC documentary about the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children, over an irrelevant detail, than the horrors inflicted by Israel against Palestinian children.

The world turned on its head.

Depraved. Deranged.

There must be millions of socialists who are disappointed that the current Labour Party are not leading us back into the EU. The Greens are offering as a Core Commitment, Full Membership As Soon As Possible. On this point alone, they’ll get my vote. One must have an objective rather than hope. You?

A Texas boy needed protection from measles. The vaccine cost $1,400. Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Thames Water fined £122.7m in biggest ever penalty Thames Water must pay a £104.5m penalty for sewage breaches and £18.2m relating to shareholder dividends.

This company needs to be returned to public ownership and it must be the owners not the workers who pay the price for its failure. 2/2 🔚

🚨 Thames Water

💬 We can all see that the privatisation of water has been a disaster. We now need to stop to companies like Thames Water treating workers and communities with contempt once and for all. This fine for paying out dividends is just too little, too late. 1/2 ⤵️

CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future.

🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts.

200k

#NHS workers were offered a 3.6% pay rise yet there's people in the system pulling in 200k?!

For every one of these salaries you could place 5-6 full time Registered Nurses in the system

Thats 1500-1800 extra Nurses, mull that over!

Half a million march to Downing Street to urge Starmer to cut ties with Israel Organisers said they aimed to mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba and urge the UK to 'take action' to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

... but I did find this report in Middle East Eye

"Half a million march to Downing Street to urge Starmer to cut ties with Israel"

Shame on Labour. Time to replace Keir Starmer.

It's written in their contract, and they learn it verbatim.

Good for you! Retain your integrity even though others lose theirs. Stand your ground and then watch others join you.

To be absolutely clear, I will not vote for Labour if they continue to support Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

I won’t be voting tactically

I don’t care who that lets into power

I’m not voting for a Party that can permit the wilful starvation of innocent people.
