Starmer to meet Saudi crown prince in push for infrastructure cash.

Why get cash from dictators at enormous cost when govt can create money, do QE for infrastructure, borrow at lower cost, tax the rich.

Seems everything is for sale in the UK.

Momentous events in Syria this morning. The 54 year rule of the Assad family appears to be over, with rebel forces taking to state TV claiming President Assad has fled Damascus.

The prime minister has said he will hand over power to the opposition and has called for elections.

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill to become Act.

But there is no public ownership.

Govt company will operate passenger services by renting rolling stock. Can easily revert to privatisation again.

Rolling stock companies making £2bn profit a year remain privatised. Freight too.

They interviewed some good people for this articule, but here are some corrections to the venerable BBC:

* Pacing isn’t progressively pushing one’s self to do more (like, what?)

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry.

That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827.

Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems.

Most people want to end the scandal.
