Housing crisis, banks failing, Public Utilities sold to PE who run them down to collapsing point, regulations to protect the people ripped up, high inflation, fuel & food poverty. The cause: centrist & hard right Govt since 1979. & Reform want to rob you of all rights. So Vote for hope #VoteGreen 💚
Many years ago the norm was cheap rented housing for the low paid & mortgages for the better paid. People were loaned only what they could pay back. Interest rates were @6%. Banking was regulated. In 1979 came Neoliberalism. Banking was deregulated which caused runaway house prices/rent eversince.

Are Labour now further RW than the Tories? They boast about cutting support to the sick 50%.
Labour chose to mimic Reform losing them most of their support because of Starmer's vision of the Party. Unless the left wing leave and unite with other true socialist Parties, Reform will Govern in 2029.

Streetlink say they connect the homeless with authorities & charities taking @3 days to reach the person sleeping rough.
Sadiq, the Govt has made it illegal to sleep rough. People sleeping on the streets are now vulnerable to arrest. So do Streetlink report the homless to the police?

Winter can be especially dangerous for anyone sleeping rough outdoors.
If you spot someone who needs support on London's streets, you can notify StreetLink via this link to connect them with vital local services.

I have #cellulitis in my leg and foot. I don't find people making a joke of the disease funny. I'd like Govt's to know how painful it is and if not treated it is terminal.
My antibiotics have not yet stopped it worsening. It can be scary. The image is not me but is a good example of the disease.

Again and again, this technology has been proven to be discriminatory against racialised communities.

Thames Water risks being forced into special administration.
40% price hike. Doubling of operating profit, sewage in rivers.
Era of water poverty - 8.5% of the TW customers are on bills subsidised by those who are paying their charges, 4% not paying bills at all.
It's a scam.

Is this Labour's welfare vision - to deny disabled people support, thereby forcing them into destitution and coercing them to commit suicide?
Or maybe diagnosis is at last catching up with the crises so many have been enduring, which have for so long been minimised, dismissed or ignored.
