Blues, Elvis Presley, LFC and St Helens rugby league fan. Too left wing to be a socialist and too critical of human nature to have any faith in capitalism.

NHS trusts spent nearly £1bn on private insourcing in 3 years and private equity is reaping the rewards. We need direct investment in healthcare workers and facilities, not corporate profit margins. Demand your MP steps in to protect public healthcare: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI

Time's up on Thames Water. Since privatisation in 1989, Thames has handed out over £10 billion to shareholders, while racking up over £20 billion in debt. Now a consortium of US hedge funds want to take control... Get private profit out of water. Nationalisation now.
Background image of a sewage treatment works. Text reads:

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.

TIME'S UP ON
THAMES WATER

NATIONALISATION NOW.

In the centre of the graphic is a screenshot of a Zack Polanski BlueSky post, which reads: Thames Water has long passed its notice period. Labour can use its massive majority to nationalise it right now.

Income growth has changed radically in the past thirty years. Who do you think it’s benefitted the most? (Hint: It’s not the bottom 99% of us.) My course Wealth & Poverty discusses how our economy evolved into a system that overwhelmingly benefits the wealthy.
