False Economy

NHS England faces £5.7bn bill for repairing hospitals before demolishing them.

Boris John's 40 new(ish) hospitals never delivered.

Labour to deliver in stages by the 2040s. Meanwhile, some are falling down

All part of a strategy to hand healthcare to the private sector.

Over 400,000 Americans died fighting the horrors of fascism in WWII—now we have Trump henchmen mimicking a Nazi salute? It’s a disgusting insult to their sacrifice and a chilling sign of where we’re headed.

Did you vote for this?

Cuts in real wage/benefits
Queues for NHS appointments
Lousy social care
Crumbling schools
Profiteering by corporations
Tax abuses by corporations/rich
Sewage in rivers
Poor housing

But it happens. Govts indulge corporations and the rich.

Please press that "like" button regardless. Trust me, Ukrainiands understand that you don't "like" the attack on us, but helping us reach more people. We appreciate that
Kate, it feels terrible to hit "like" on your posts as I don't like what Russia is doing or that innocent Ukrainians are being killed daily. Far from it. But I am thankful that you are still able to keep the world's eyes on what is happening. Stay safe, keep posting & I'll keep "liking."

There wasn't much I could do except post about it and check monitoring channels to see if more missiles were on their way. There was a lot on the way. I hoped and prayed that they wouldn't kill me or my family across the

Castle Water bids £4bn for control of Thames Water. Private equity also interested.

This is money from A to B, not into infrastructure.

New buyer still wants high customer bills, dividends, low investment.

Only nationalisation can end profiteering, solve crisis.
