In 1981, Simon Littlechild - one of Thatcher’s intellectual shock-troopers - wrote “Ten steps to de-nationalisation.”
Recognising how central, and embedded, public ownership was to Britain’s post-war developmental model, it set out an incremental strategy for privatisation. 🧵
Just returned from the Kashmir Superstore in South Leeds which sells everything Indian & Pakistani. I started my chef career here; the first restaurant kitchen I cooked and trained in was Punjabi. Let me show you around and tell you what you need for anything SOUTH ASIAN - you’re going to need a trolley for this one! 🇮🇳 🇵🇰
REVEALED: the campaigners who dreamed up the contents of Liz Truss’s mini-budget have given the Conservative Party £35m

To my astonishment, our book The Invisible Doctrine has gone straight to number 1 on the Sunday Times bestseller list. That's before any reviews, and after only one interview in mainstream media (on BBC World Service). Thank you so much to all our readers for your support.

Will @Keir_Starmer finally speak up for humanity or are his Israel-supporting billionaire donors still more important to him than the lives of thousands of innocents? Nothing less than an unequivocal demand for sanctions against Israel & halting all arms sales to Israel will suffice. It is time for leadership. He cannot continue to fail the Palestinian people
"Severn Trent returns £350m to shareholders despite rising costs."
Over last 4 years @stwater has spent 1,709,396 hours, on 225,396 occasions, dumping sewage into the environment and yet still they pay shareholders £350m.
They don't give a flying fig.

Westminster may be gripped by election fever now, but in other news tomorrow Ofwat will be deciding if greedy & failing water companies can hike bills by up to 91%. I joined nearly 40 MPs across parties calling on Ofwat to reject their outrageous demand.

Here are my thoughts on the 4th of July, Independents Day, election.
Let’s unseat Starmer.
Let’s organise for accountable, honest, responsive politics that meets all of our needs
Let’s make clear that supporting genocide is unacceptable & criminal
Let’s Do This Together!
I don’t just mean housing rents. I mean all *access fees* to essential services that have been captured by private wealth: water, energy, health, railways etc. And the interest payments arising from the financialisation of higher education.
Why? Because trade unions were crushed. Because tax rates for the very rich were slashed. Because any regulation that big business viewed as constricting was loosened or eliminated. And, perhaps most importantly, because *rents* were allowed to soar.
#IDthought 5: Until the neoliberal era, inequality declined for some 60 years. From the 1980s onwards, it returned with a vengeance. Since 1989, America’s super-rich have grown about $21 trillion richer. The poorest 50 per cent, by contrast, have become $900 billion poorer.🧵
Peaceful protest, including disruptive protest, is a human right protected by international law and the Human Rights Act.
🚨This report wrongly equates 'violence' with 'disruption'.
We urge the government not to implement any further restrictions on the right to protest.
