In 1970 nearly 50% of the money you spent in the UK went back to Government and Public Services.
Coal, Oil, Gas, Electricity, Water, Public Transport, Social Housing, Telecoms, Shipbuilding, Steel...
All nationalised.
Now 95% of your money goes to tax dodging billionaires.

Morgan McSweeney's resignation matters. Not because of him, he doesn't matter at all, but because it has exposed the vacuum at Labour's core, and that is that it has no governing idea.
