It’s pretty nuts. Tom Watson’s very first intervention in his new job at spytech firm Palantir is to write a letter to his former colleague @labourlewis.bsky.social detailing all the times the firm has monitored his anti-Palantir activities

UK public sector bodies spent £17bn with offshore-owned private equity firms last year. The same vultures received £31bn public sector contracts. Profiteering, low wages, tax dodging, asset-stripping is their business model. Enriched by public money. How many have politicians on payroll?

Deloitte paid its UK-based partners £1.125m. Firm has 784 equity partners. Due to self-employed status of partners, employer national insurance (ENI) is not paid on profits shared. 150,000 ENI avoided on every £1m of profits shared. Billions lost across the country. Must end this privilege.

Britons taking “Plan 2” student loan need to earn £63,600 a year to reduce debt. Plan 2 graduates with an average loan of £52,100, and earning £39,039 would see loan balance actually increase by £1,692 a year. England student debt £294.6bn, UK £324bn Median UK employee wage is £31,500. Madness.
