Yeah, I know, sweeping categorisation. Lumping everyone into the same basket. Tarring them with the same brush.
They want cheap energy, and homes for that matter. They just need YOU to make the sacrifice, ok 👍

I know someone who pays 80k a year for part-time care for one parent and this is at a reduced rate
Care is very expensive but so many of the people who do the actual caring are paid a pitiful amount, whilst shareholders reap the rewards
Care is very expensive but so many of the people who do the actual caring are paid a pitiful amount, whilst shareholders reap the rewards
A friend of a friend bought shares in a care company - in 5 years they exited and I was told their profit was in the millions. That same company paid their workers minimum wage and charged the local authority a fortune for the work referred by them.
Private companies operating care services in just three regions of England made £250m profits in 3 years,
£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.

I assumed you were referring to the Brexit Effect. It destroys every prime minister because it’s fucked the economy. No one can make it work but someone has to pay for it and it‘s never going to be the rich (who, coincidentally, are largely responsible).

I find the endless, often pointless drama that has typified UK politics coverage for a decade as draining & unedifying as anyone. But, *as of now* & by every relevant measure, Starmer’s position is perilously close to untenable. Of course people are planning for a future where he’s no longer leader.
