We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.
@Michael_J_Hil The original #HS2 Phase One Environmental Statement (London to West Midlands) comprises approximately 46,000 to 50,000 pages across five distinct volumes. The subsequent Phase 2b ES alone contained around 10,500 pages of technical appendices and background reports. #CancelHS2
@HS2ltd GIVE IT UP! IT'S OVER. By the time #HS2 is complete there will be new transport modalities. Good future; Mag-Lev or personal electrogravitics. Bad future; horse & cart. Burnham should #CancelHS2 and give £2k to every UK adult.

Today the government set out its legislative agenda for the year ahead.
It did so on a day when the Prime Minister’s own MPs are calling for his resignation following last week’s election results.

That is what House of the People is here to change.
