Ok, sounds like you are thinking of a system of rationing. The world has never been so unequal in every respect. Unilaterally taxing wealth will do nothing for the poorest. This is a world problem needing world solutions. Trump/Putin are not interested in solving this.

Previous governments failed to increase prison capacity, cut back on all aspects of the justice system creating backlogs in sentencing and prison over crowding. The current government have increased prison places by 3000 and is trying to tackle the justice system backlog.

Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Avg GDP growth 1945-79: 2.8% Since then: 1.6% And this apparently "broken, economically stagnant" basket case kept its AAA status right through the Winter of Discontent We lost it under Cameron, and it fell again under May, then Johnson, and then Truss: i.e. the whole time Clarke was in govt

BBC re-running their headlines from 3 years ago when Sunak released 10,000 prisoners early over 6 months....oh wait, no, that went off without a media fuss. Labour are releasing up to 5,000 early over a year - due to Tory failure to build prison capacity. They only built 36 net new places a year.

I’ve long argued that our energy networks should serve the public. Plans for a publicly owned Great British Grid is a welcome step towards bringing more of our energy system under public ownership, and the focus now must be on making sure people see the benefit in their bills.

But not everyone wants that, in fact there is a very small minority who wants it, which is why it would take a revolution, or at least decades of evolution. I’m not sure capitalists would allow it.
