Never has the UK needed a Government that will build Houses, Renewable Energy, Water Treatment and Hospitals more than it does now
But due to privatisation our Government does none of these things, because they have been sold to billionaires
It's time to undo Thatcher's poison

360+ works owned by Reform-run Kent CC are heading to auction. Paintings, drawings ... Works that capture Kent’s landscapes, history and identity ..."

FACTS:
Net Zero barely nudges your bill.
Fossil‑fuel wars send it through the roof.
So when Farage and his ilk slags off renewables while fanning conflict, remember who actually hikes your costs.
The Hinkley C UK nuclear reactor will produce 3.2GW, it will cost £50bn.
For that the UK could have built 40GW of Wind Turbines in 1/5th of the time.
Which would even on the least windy days of the year produce TWICE as much electricity.
Nuclear is an unnecessary RIPOFF.
Israel is using white phosphorus AGAIN in Lebanon - the chemical weapon ignites instantly upon contact with oxygen, and sticks to skin
We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

We are facing an energy crisis. Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored. If only we had our own gas to exploit. Or our own oil. Or our own coal.... Blame @Ed Miliband (Allison Pearson on X)
If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.
As illegal international aggression once again highlights the need for investment in renewable energy, it is crucial the govt do everything possible to protect households from bearing the brunt of surging energy prices - and to ensure no energy company profits from this war.
In an uncertain world nuclear becomes the most dangerous option for power generation. Why not invest billions in geothermal energy generation and reduce the risks and the ongoing costs of nuclear power?
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Heating oil prices in the UK have trebled in a week. 2 million homes, no price cap protection, no warning.
Heat pumps + solar are multiple times more efficient, don’t require an oil tank and oil deliveries and are an insurance against such frightening price spikes.
The #Epstein class and the #NHS
While Wes Streeting claims Britain lacks a growth strategy, his own NHS plans reveal one – turning the NHS vast troves of patient data into a commercial asset for tech giants, investors and private healthcare firms
Mr Kwarteng, who controls a 5.4 per cent stake in Stack together with his wife, Harriet, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have Nigel Farage and Blockchain.com become strategic investors in Stack. Nigel's unwavering support for British business and belief that Bitcoin is set to rapidly expand its role in finance is perfectly aligned with the company's ethos and business plans." Mr Farage has taken a 6.3 per cent stake in a Bitcoin reserve business led by Mr Kwarteng (PA)
Reform UK last year pledged to slash red tape and cut taxes on cryptocurrencies and set up a bitcoin reserve fund if elected, which would allow people to pay tax in the cryptocurrency. The Treasury recently announced legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in a similar way to that of other finance products. This follows efforts to overhaul the market, which has grown in popularity in recent years as an alternative investment product and a way of making payments. The UK's financial regulator has nonetheless warned that it is a "high risk" investment and that people could "lose all their money" from the asset.
Kwarteng and Farage.
What a pisstaking combination. Drooling over their scams. Totally comfortable - in fact eager - to take risks with other people’s money, rights and lives.
Just repulsive.
To restore democracy and create a fairer, safer, greener world, we need massive taxes on the ultra-rich. As in the 1940s. People get confused about this. The main purpose of such taxes is *not* to raise revenue. The point is to stop the few dominating the many. It's an essential democratic measure.
In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Average real wage of UK workers barely moved since 2008.
Some bosses collect 1,110 times the average worker pay.
50 families have more wealth than bottom 50% of the population combined.
Super-rich buy political parties and lawmakers to advance their interests.

BP’s new CEO to take home £11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor.
Daily pay > annual median pay of UK employee.
CEO pay at one company is a benchmark for another. Others will want more.
Govts, BOE, CBI and other neoliberals talk about wage inflation, but silence on fat-cattery.
The Representation of the People Bill contains some useful measures, but it must go further – put proportional representation on the statute books, shut loopholes that let dark money in, and modernise media platform oversights to stop misinformation and disinformation.
This is what Badenoch, Farage, the Murdoch press, and Paul Marshall's stable of GB News weirdos want us to get behind, and you know what I'm good, thanks...
