This illustrates everything wrong with Starmer's government: caving in the face of corporate power, putting oligarchs ahead of children's wellbeing, dithering, breaking promises, leaving us unprotected. Yet commentators claim to be mystified by his unpopularity. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Same day, different issue, same story. We keep seeing this pattern of cowardice from a government that promised change, but delivers the same old corporate power. It appears to govern on behalf of the rich and powerful, which means against the public interest. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Most people don't realise that small planes & helicopters in the UK still use leaded fuel. I asked our council for the lead result from the clean air survey but they don't & won't test for lead because UK Gov doesn't mandate it. Our local primary schools are being dusted with lead by helicopters

Starmer and Co clearly made the decision when they took office that outside the protective umbrella of the EU, the only way for the UK economy to survive was to genuflect to the US monopolies and their oligarchs and lobbyists at all times. It hasn't worked all that well even within its own terms.

Cryptobribery. Cayman Island. Self dealing. The usual crap.

Whatever the colour of government, nothing much changes and we continue with business as usual. This demonstrates the power of the ruling global elites to block any radical changes and keep things just as they have always been... Green Party good luck!

If that is what we wanted, we would have stuck with the Tories.

It's not cowardice, it's corruption.
