If water were publicly owned, there would be nowhere for any water bosses to hide or manipulate water quality tests. This problem literally only exists under privatisation.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @london.gov.uk and @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

Curse of private equity Horrific, unregulated, and very profitable. Companies making cash from England’s children in care. Average charge to the state by a private provider for a child in “care” is £384,020 a year, some charge £1m+. Provide poor service l. End privatisation.

The Government CAN abolish Leaseholds overnight. They can retroactively change the law so all Leaseholds were sold as Freeholds. Everybody paid Freehold prices so no compensation is needed. *poof* 5m Leasehold scams are over.

Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

A private equity firm just bought £1.6 BILLION worth of the NHS. It will make bigger profits by hiking rents for hospitals and NHS facilities. Previous govts privatized the estate. That means less money for frontline healthcare. NHS already drained by PFI and private contractors.

Imagine caring more about "taxes" than keeping people in your community alive. All healthcare should be free and all medication / treatment accessible for all. Thinking otherwise is both homicidal and suicidal. If your country can afford to have billionaires, it can afford to provide for everyone.
