Our Council is a victim of the government failing to deliver on their Fair Funding Review. Leveling up is a failed Tory policy, it hasn’t happened!! Worse the then Tory leadership candidate @RishiSunak boasted to members that he prevented it!

UK public debt
May 2023: £2.57 trn, 100.1% of GDP.
Feb 2020: £1.791tn, 79.1% of GDP
May 2010: £1.03tn, 65% of GDP
Tories borrowed more than all Labour Govts combined.
Squandered on tax cuts for corporations/rich, contracts for cronies.
No new industries.
Public services destroyed
BREAKING
Fraud report
"DWP estimates 237,000 pensioners were UNDERPAID a total of £1.46 billion in their state pension... as many pensioners continue to wait, and some have died waiting"
Tory govt happy to hand out £6 BILLION through PPE VIP lanes but lets pensioners die while waiting for a little bit of money?
Tories absolutely rely on the 65+ vote and yet they don't care at all about them.
Please tell all the pensioners you know this singular fact above.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe and the most water pollution and most expensive water.
The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive:
The UK has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course most expensive in Europe.
Today a doctor on the picket line said to me: “MPs have had a 42.7% increase since 2008, Junior Doctors have had a 25% decrease since 2010. So let’s not have MPs saying that pay restoration for doctors is unaffordable. We have families to feed as well.”
A fair point indeed.
Remember that tomorrow - Nurses across the UK are striking for the following:
- Fair Pay
- Safe Staffing
- The future of the NHS
Retweet if you support!

Oil companies announcing £160bn profit, universities hoarding over £40bn assets, train operators profits £300m
RT if you back all 500,000 teachers, university workers, train drivers and civil servants who strike on Wednesday because they refuse to put up with this crap anymore.
British Railways were privatised 30 years ago, yesterday.
Since then, rail fares have rocketed, billions in profits have gone to shareholders, and CEOs have become multi-millionaires.
It was a total con. Renationalise them.
Sajid Javid says we need to pay £20 for a GP appointment and £66 to go to A&E as a way to solve the NHS funding crisis. He’s wrong because there are so many better options in my new report on funding the NHS. A thread…..
Just left @gloshospitals, have a car permit and got charged nearly £15 to park for my shift in ED today. They refused to let me out unless I paid. I have a permit and I had to pay £15 for a shift. They wonder why the NHS is short staffed.
“The problem in Britain isn’t strikes, it’s an economy that makes strikes necessary.”
RT if you’re behind frontline workers and their right to strike 👊

Wholesale gas/oil is now below the price is was before Russia invaded the Ukraine.
So why aren't the big energy firms reflecting this?
Businesses are going to the wall.
Families are having to choose to eat or heat.
The Gov't urgently needs to intervene.
How to destroy the NHS:
Step 1. Run it into the ground with austerity.
Step 2. Exploit the crisis to empower the private sector.
Step 3. Abolish the principle of universal health care.
End privatisation, support striking workers and save our NHS.
