All 4 nations are gravitating towards their own nation. The Union is tearing itself apart. Burnham’s keynote speech highlighted policies already implemented years ago in Scotland & are proven successful. Taking from Scottish pensioners to fund English healthcare is a killer blow to the Union. 👌

Interest on Reserves: The £100bn UK Bank Subsidy You Fund. Banks making £50bn profits a year receive subsidies, long ended by the EU. UK Treasury will payout over £150bn over a five-year period from 2023 to 2028. No justification for handling billions to banks. End bank subsidies, help people.

Interest on Reserves: The £100bn UK Bank Subsidy You Fund

The Bank of England has paid commercial banks £100bn in interest on reserves in three years. The EU stopped doing it in 2023 – Dale Vince says Britain must too.

Financial Times moans about modest trade union reforms, workers rights. Most of the EU has worker-elected directors on boards of large companies. FT silence on low wages, fire and rehire, worker insecurity, undeserved exec pay. Only unions can negotiate with powerful companies. archive.ph/lbOyk

Jim Ratcliffe suspends production at key UK plants as gas prices soar. High prices due to Trumpian wars, profiteering by energy companies. UK squandered the North Sea oil revenues, privatised energy. Govt has fewer policy options but can remove green levies from customer bills. Nationalise energy

HMRC is an unsecured creditor for corporation and capital gains tax. It recovers little from bankrupt businesses. Phoenixing also robs the public purse. HMRC wrote-off £12.8bn in 2025-26. Changes to law and HMRC creditor status can raise billions for the public purse.

Swathes of UK economy are owned by foreign investors. No tax is deducted from billions paid to them in dividends. USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden have a dividend withholding tax for foreign investors. UK could do the same, generate billions. Why are super-rich privileged?

What neoliberalism did to the UK. 25.3m people, including 14.9m working adults and 7.7m children, live below minimum income standard. Richest 1% has more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 families hold more wealth than 34m people. Can't grow economy on mass poverty.

Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

I have written to the Cabinet Secretary to seek assurances that the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff, who was lobbying for the privatised water industry until recently, has had no involvement in talks about the future of Thames Water.

25th August 2026
Dear Antonia,
It is reported in the media today that the Prime Minister has ‘shelved’ plans to take Thames Water into administration.
As is well known, the Chief of Staff in Downing Street James Purnell was until his appointment, the Chief Executive of Flint Global, whose clients it is widely reported include members of the privatised water industry, and Thames Water’s bondholders.
The Times reports that the Prime Minister has been ‘advised by officials’ not to go ahead with special administration. In addition to James Purnell, can you confirm that no other officials involved in this process have links to the privatised water industry, and have accepted no hospitality from anyone associated with or acting on behalf of members of the water industry, including Flint Global, post the departure of James Purnell.
It is especially concerning that the Times reports that the Prime Minister has listened to advice that even the half measure of temporary special administration would be costly and run into legal issues. Of course, this is what advisers and lobbyists for the privatised water industry will be saying and it is the ‘advice’ James Purnell would have been making weeks ago, It is also highly unlikely to be true, given the repeated catastrophic failures of Thames Water, including polluted rivers, sky high bills and water shortages, Thames Water could be taken into public ownership right now and Thames Water would not have a legal leg to stand on.
The public and I expect a proper explanation for this decision, including an update to parliament at the first possible time, and assurances that James Purnell has had nothing at all to
