Absolute boll**** to that

I have now seen twice in my life the Labour right lie and rewrite history about the only true left-wing leaders the party has had in my lifetime, Michael Foot and Jeremy Corbyn.
The Labour Party is toxic.

The 4 long term goals of neoliberalism:

• Lower food standards so we accept hyper processed foods as the norm.
• Permanent war so growing arms spending is normalised.
• Marketise healthcare worldwide to permanently profit.
• Shrink definition of a house to a two room shell.

Thames Water customers face £263 bill rise, it is downing in £18bn debt.

After extracting billions in dividends shareholders won't invest. Thames wants to raise capital from customers, but shareholders will own company and extract even more cash.

Rip-off.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.

We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

I love this map of places where sycamore gap tree saplings will be planted. They include the Rob Burrow Centre for MND and a plot in memory of a 15 year old girl killed by her ex-boyfriend. They stretch from the Orkneys to Cornwall. By @nationaltrust.bsky.social

All of the elite responses to the UHC/Luigi thing seem incapable of grasping that people broadly recognize now that the Proper Channels they insist everyone should direct their grievances into are designed to waste your time, take your money, or both.

This is how Labour will lose the next election.

The EU has given the UK an ultimatum for any better trade deal

The UK must accept EU students and it must charge them the same as UK students, it must also be 'open' to EU workers

In return we get a poorer version of the Single Market

We need to just rejoin the Single Market

Over the next few years, UK water companies will load themselves with as much debt as they can and pay directors and shareholders eye watering sums. Why? Because they know that nationalisation is coming and they won't have to pay it back.....we will.
