Was just explaining this to someone at Labour’s conference - Crown Estate owns the coast and seabed and charges for the use of it for green energy projects - pushing up energy bills.

Here's the short answer. Social Care would be affordable if it was Nationalised. So would Energy. And Water. And Housing. And so on. The problem, no profit for billionaires. But that would be THEIR problem.

Excellent post/thread. 👏 Fwiw, here's my rather less data driven response.
Screencap of tweet by Rupert Lowe followed by my response

"London used to be the best city in the world. I loved living and working there. Genuinely loved it. The whole world wanted to be in London. Now? It is a dump.

Outside a few select posh areas right in the middle of the city, it increasingly resembles the third world."

"London 'depresses' you because you're a racist cunt. Most people who live in / visit London aren't racist cunts. This allows them to love London in all its diversity. My advice to you? Stop being a racist cunt. You'll not only have a renewed zest for London but life in general."

They claim it costs £8,000 a month to keep someone in a care home The actual cost including staff, energy, accommodation and food is more like £3,000 But the Landlord, owners, and staffing companies need their vast profits Renationalise Social Care and it will be affordable

Social Care is affordable in the UK. Just not Privatised Social Care. Currently a Social Care Worker is paid £12.60 an hour. The Council is charged £33.20 an hour. A huge amount of this is profit which goes completely untaxed. As you can see this will NEVER be affordable.

Sharon Graham on Newsnight criticises Andy Burnham for going after pensioners instead of putting in place a wealth tax on the rich My view: Sharon Graham asks a valid question. Why is a Labour government going after pensioners instead of a wealth tax on the vast fortunes of those with £10m+?

If the triple lock on pensions will be scrapped. The 1st priority is to fix Pension Credit - the top up for the lowest earning pensioners to give them a basic minimum income. Shamefully many 100,000s of the poorest pensions still miss out on what they're entitled to.

In Luxembourg the average state pension for 40 years of contributions is nearly 4x higher than in the U.K. Far from being unaffordable the UK State pension is a joke, what is unaffordable is the tax evasion which leaves us with so little money to spend.
