“That is the type of power that scares Boris Johnson, that scares Theresa, that scared Thatcher.”
This man says people are being divided by the UK media, instead of uniting to resist Government policies they don’t believe in #bbcqt
@D_Raval When a new ASDA was built in Wakefield, ASDA were compelled to build its own road to the store. Reeves is demonstrating how this government has been bought by developers. This should not be allowed.
@D_Raval Yeah. Sickening. She is acting as if her governmental position is as part of the management team for Blair's TBI.
TBF, it functionally is, as KEEF and Mandelson have already definitively proved.
THE WORD IS TREASON.
@rN4RzE82xSSg0lT@D_Raval I don’t think it needs to because taxpayer £££ funding govt spending is a myth. We don’t need rich taxpayers £££ in order to fund infrastructure. We didn’t need billionaires post WW2 to create the Welfare State
slop academic produced nothing of note, failed upwards by promising to take food out of people's mouths year on year - and he gets rewarded handsomely for it
Wes Streeting dismissed South Africa’s ICJ genocide case against Israel as a “distraction” in 2024 — because his career mattered to him more than the slaughter in Gaza.
And so many other Labour politicians did exactly the same.
The framing assumes the UK "can't afford" public services but can write cheques to a US billionaire. Currency issuer doesn't face a constraint.

How serious is this from someone who won't even commit to nationalising water (a policy supported by the vast majority of the public)?
One fact of Karl Marx's writings that is always missed is that he predicted that Capitalism would always descend into Fascism and that the Bourgeoisie (Middle Class) would be consumed by the Rich (Billionaires).
Which is exactly what is happening.
Rachel Reeves can find £1.3 billion of taxpayer money to build infrastructure for a US entertainment giant. But not for council housing. Not for crumbling schools. Not for the NHS.
She understands invest for growth perfectly well.
She just decides who gets the investment.

@timeshighered Easy enough question to ask and for him to answer, how much has HR increased, how much more has been spent on consultancy, how much more on buildings and how much more on management pay?
@timeshighered Perhaps, a sensible cut would be to shave 50% of Vice-Chancellor David Oswell's £240,000 p.a. salary. Surely, he would be able to manage on £120k, for the sake of the university. It's just a matter of having to face up to 'harsh financial realities.'
🆔NEWS: MPs warn it would be "IRRESPONSIBLE to roll out digital ID" on Britain's rickety IT systems
A scathing new report by the Science, Innovation and Tech Committee (@CommonsSITC) highlights mass data breaches and widespread concerns about privacy.
Spending swathes of taxpayers' money on a project that lacks trust & confidence is reckless.

"I am often asked what I would keep of Neoclassical economics in a new paradigm. My answer is that I would keep as much of Neoclassical economics as modern astronomy kept of Ptolemaic astronomy – which is to say, nothing at all."
