Imagine caring more about "taxes" than keeping people in your community alive. All healthcare should be free and all medication / treatment accessible for all. Thinking otherwise is both homicidal and suicidal. If your country can afford to have billionaires, it can afford to provide for everyone.

The government’s latest accounts show its debt’s fallen massively youtu.be/nNcNuDKSKAc?... The government’s own accounts, just released, show that its total liabilities owing fell between 2022 and 2023 by £1.5 trillion. The claim that we’re burdened by debt is now nonsense. When will they admit it?

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
