Tesco, M & S & Tesco are owned by shareholders, all listed on FTSE. Those mentioned may be the major shareholders, haven't looked.

To his credit, Kit Malthouse asked the very same question in Parliament the other day. The Labour minister acknowledged that what Ben Gvir does in public would be far worse in private and "that is why we sanctioned him". Malthouse said that parliament is being gaslighted about Gaza all the time.

I'm a UK citizen so watch your politics with some detachment but really it's unnecessary- your government is being run by a corrupt racist fascist surrounded by sycophants.

Why doesn't any journalist ask Rubio what threat exactly does Cuba pose to the US? It can't be military unless backed by China or Russia but why can't they do it themselves rather than via a bankrupt proxy state? As you say it's all BS.

In a way I hope it does, provided the vulnerable are protected. The radical appraisal that will follow could lead to an end of the failed Neoliberal experiment and the main political parties that support it.

What does he mean by "public control"? Manchester's buses are under a franchise and privately owned. He is a Blairite Neoliberal, not to be trusted.

I think so. This one is currently 80/20 in favour of not rejoining. The last one where the question was - would Burnham be successful in the upcoming by-election? resulted in a resounding no.

So supermarket bosses are expressing extreme reactions over some kind of price cap on everyday items for working people. This when they are making billions in profits and paying their staff as little as they can get away with. In some areas, half of Tesco staff are on universal credit.

Not sure why they're doing these polls. Most of their readers will have a negative view of the EU after being fed anti-European BS for years.

When I was a Labour Party member I voted against him in favour of Jeremy Corbyn simply as I believed he wasn't a socialist. I still believe that and as Corbyn won with an overwhelming majority so did thousands of others. It is known that he and Reeves are good friends.

Pretty obvious Owen. Muslims don't have any equivalent to the Israeli lobby groups that pressure the government, police and mainstream media.

Maybe, if you have unit trusts, but even then in a severe crash it can take years to get back to where you were. Shareholders in an individual company are the last to be paid if that company goes bust and they often get nothing.

It would seem that Israeli lobby groups have even more influence over the conservatives than other party's.

It's odd that Rachel Reeves has reduced the maximum amount of money people under 60 can put into a cash ISA. Apparently she wants to encourage more people to invest in the stock market. It's quite interesting that a large number of people are unaware or ignore the risks associated with doing so.

I wouldn't put touch faith in him, he says he wants private financiers to pay for our defence budget. He doesn't say who they are or who they represent. I think he'll just be another neoliberal yes guy.

No it isn't. Burnham isn't squeaky clean and I'm surprised you don't want your own party to win. I thought your leader said Greens want to replace Labour.

I voted to remain. Although I greatly respect Jeremy, if he was the greatest advocate of Brexit out there, I would still have voted the same way.

Wes Streeting has and is selling our NHS to American Pharma. He has already received personal funding from American pharma. We don’t want him as Health Secretary never mind Prime Minister. Say NO to Streeting as PM. Please repost for maximum influence.

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide. I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud. Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

But why does it work George? Does social deprivation lead to a significant reduction in brain cells or is there some other explanation? Truly sinister that something to the right of Farage is emerging.

Later today, King Charles will travel in a gilded carriage to read a speech on "economic fairness" while sitting on a golden throne. He remains the only person exempt from the 40% inheritance tax on his private billions and immune to over 160 laws the rest of us must follow.

Farage doesn't threaten their interests whereas Corbyn and Polanski do, hence the lack of reporting for him and the bile for them.
