Politics must serve the public.
That’s why I’m calling to ban housing developer donations - their influence works against public good.
I also back Neil’s push to break the link between donors & public contracts.
Government must prioritise living standards over vested power.
@KemiBadenoch Out of touch!
You are just copying the Viagra parties or are the copying the Tory party?
Can we reduce your benefits and all MP’s ones for that matter?
Look into their claims and costs?
Not denying there shouldn’t be a payment for the role.
But they are benefits we all fund!
Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.
She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.
Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.
This is what this scumbag said when Sarah Everard was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a WHITE police officer.
Today, for the killing of Henry Novak by a Brown Sikh man, he calls the British public to "rage".
So despite Henry's dad making it clear that they "do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension”, Farage uses his death in an emergency address to create division for his own gain.
An awful politician.
What’s going on in Southampton isn’t about injustice, it’s about male violence.
It’s knuckle dragging scum being incited into angry mobs by multimillionaires.
They’re bored, racist radicalised idiots.
@OfSelina@Nigel_Farage It's exactly what Farage wanted. He needs hauling to Parliament to explain himself and his constituents given the option to sack him.
The Blair nostalgia misses something big: housing.
Like Starmer, he avoided confronting vested interests making a killing from leasehold.
The 1995 promise of widespread commonhold was dropped.
We’re still living with the consequences of that failure to end leasehold serfdom.
The level of failure in our housing system is getting absurd.
Continuing to rely on overpriced new builds with rip-off service fees is going to bring the whole pack of cards crashing down.
We need homes for those who can't afford them, not assets for the super rich.
Responses received after concerns were raised through NALC feedback linked to MHCLG consultations.
Leigh Ingham MP & Sir Gavin Williamson MP.
Both letters acknowledge concerns around publicly accessible infrastructure being left in private arrangements. #unadoptedestates
@We_OwnIt Add public open spaces and public infrastructure on these bloody newer build estates.
How on earth have we ended up with #fleecehold and are being double charged and the council and government have chosen to push public infrastructure into the private ownership realm like this!
When Keir Starmer was running to be Labour leader, he promised to end the privatisation in:
🏥Our NHS
🏫Schools

The majority of people who want PUBLIC OWNERSHIP are being ignored: https://t.co/0NPs6emZfv
You can't bring the injustice of fleecehold to an end without universal adoption @mtpennycook and please stop conflating us with leaseholders. #StopTheRotAdoptTheLot
@ZiaYusufUK Why is your dense party … sorry company … and fanatics all saying this same line?
General election is in 3 years so what bs are you going on about!
Bore off!
@ZiaYusufUK What is your take on pensions … as it seems a really socialist idea.
But have you worked out that the voting base are indeed pensioners like the Tories did and offer multiple locks on pensions to appease those types of voters?
It will be interesting to see what you suggest!
@ZiaYusufUK Will you throw people needing support into a new version of poor or work houses?
And the older folks will have to work until they drop dead or go into the poor homes for the old like before the pension scheme came about?
I’ve tabled a proposal to ban housing developers from donating to political parties.
The housing crisis is too serious for big money influence.
Developers profit from high prices and low standards - families pay the price.
Ban developer donations. People before profit.
Our NHS, our water, our energy, our mail, and our transport shouldn't be left in the hands of companies who put profit before people.
