Failures of privatisation. Royal Mail to cut up to 2,500 jobs Foreign-owned RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets even after regulator lowered them. Postage: 1st class, £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Poor service at triple price. Customers fleeced.

@isabelortiz.bsky.social, and Antonia Wulff have written really important piece here Austerity's (predictable) long reach is rarely talked about - it has created all sorts of societal ills (breeding far right racism deflection, living costs, inequality, worse health, but also the next generation)

⚠️ In this time of crises, austerity affects almost all of us. Cuts to salaries and social protection. Privatization of public services. Higher food and fuel prices. Cuts to teachers, health staff, civil servants. These decisions can affect millions—but they shouldn't happen behind closed doors.

Govts bend laws to support the City. UK at/near the bottom of the G7/OECD league for investment for 30 yrs. Illicit financial flows, takeovers, asset-stripping rife. Financial engineering prized. 405,000+ professionally qualified accountants, highest per capita in the world, numerous scandals.

#Austerity measures reduce approval, drive protests, and raise the odds of a government crisis, says a new study on the political impact of an economic recipe. Imposed in difficult times, austerity has contributed to the rise of #populist parties in Europe www.socialeurope.eu/austerity-er...

Up to 1/3 of jobs at risk in advanced economies and 1/4 in emerging markets (IMF). If middle-class jobs disappear while wealth concentrates, it will be the breakdown of the welfare state and democracy.
