"[T]he country quietly gets on with the day-to-day consequences of the last time it let the Tories govern: fundraising to patch up the roof at their children’s school, waiting a year to get a hospital scan, or walking past their now closed local library" #Austerity

This is a brilliant explanation of Labours' Plans for the UK state pension (and also explains why we ended up with an increased pension retirement age - looking at you #Tories) #TripleLock #Pension

Burnham "treated the news like a fucking machine gun, spewing out searing bullets of major newsiness every minute or so from the stage. It was unavoidable. It was unignorable. And by the end of the week, carefully selected progressive issues dominated the news agenda" #Burnham

Oil and gas companies who make BILLIONS are trying to get out of paying tax while we all freeze this winter. Don't think that's right? Sign the petition now demanding Andy Burnham stands up to them and taxes them properly: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/oil-and-...
act.38degrees.org.uk
It's time for them to pay up.

Okay, I have been *extremely* noisy with promoting my own damn-fool threads for the last 18 hours, and while it's really lovely that none of you have shouted at me because of it, I will now shut up and become an NPC for a while, standing quietly in a corner with a blank, vacant expression. Thanks.

The Govt usually wait until contracts are up for renewal, before taking over a public service. That way, they don't have to pay anything for it

Poor Sir Simon. According to the Office for National Statistics, the 'remarkable national recovery' he refers to is a myth. The 1980s was when our national decline started. I wonder where he gets his information? 99-percent.org/back-to-the-...
A post suggesting that the 1980s saw a national recovery from the previous period -- entirely inconsistent with the facts.

Our planet is heating faster than at any time in the geological record. That's terrifying. But here's the hopeful part: most of us are worried and want action — we just stay silent, assuming no one else cares. 7 in 10 people rarely or never talk about it. So the silence feeds itself

I gather that Burnham is simply letting Contracts lapse. That way, the Govt doesn't have to buy back Water, Rail, the Grid etc. There will be more detail available on the Govt website

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich
We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality. 
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.

In reality, a speech like that, can only ever summarise what he hopes to achieve. If he spoke about every single thing he wanted to achieve, he'd still be talking now . . .

I believe, that Burnham means that he wants the UK to make stuff again. I'm quite certain that will include using the abundance of clean energy the UK already produces. Industrialisation is just an over-arching term, not an attempt to spew pollution into the environment. Let's be positive
