Ash Sarkar on #PoliticsLive "The role of private equity in our social care system" @AyoCaesar ๐
"We've got a hugely expensive social care system. Adult and children social care is a massive part of local authority budget"
"It's part of the reason why so many local councils are in debt"
"And private equity is just siphoning money out of the system"
"In just three years, in three regions of England, private equity sucked out ยฃ250 million in profit"
"Something that Andy Burnham and whoever his pick of chancellor might be, is to say, we're not going to have such a huge role for private equity in the social care system"
"We're going to have strong limits on how much profit can be extracted"
"We're not going to have leveraged buyouts where private equity uses a tiny bit of their own money and then loads the company with debt"
The right wing media do its best to portray me as something that I'm not, much of which has racist undertones.
The Daily mail have now apologised to me.
More apologies to come...
@cfdownes_ The only reason for this logic is that you are worried that your children would be treated how you treat minorities , says everything about you !
Across Greater Manchester - Bolton to Salford, Trafford to Stockport, Greens have shown we are the only party to stop Reform.
Vote Green in the Greater Manchester Mayoral Election! ๐ณ๏ธ๐
Zack Polanski has been cleared over the payment of council tax.
All the people who attacked him should apologise.
Of course, all politicians should be scrutinised.
But @ZackPolanski is being smeared because he threatens an order rigged in favour of the rich.
EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.
Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared ยฃ5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.
But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.
Cracking tale from @tomburgis

Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a ยฃ2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! ๐คฅ
Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.
Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.
The UK is spending ยฃ369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has ยฃ22bn and gets ยฃ500m more a year.
He can pay for his own renovations, ยฃ369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.
While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash.
The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.
I remember when Zack Polanski RT'd a person criticising the Police's excessive use of force.
He was publicly condemned by the MET Chief as if he had committed a serious crime.
Nigel Farage incites riots, AGAIN, and we have complete silence.
This is what entitlement looks like! ๐คฌ
There are nesting waterbirds on this pond on Hampstead Heath... there are also big 'No Swimming' signs, all being totally ignored! ๐คฌ
Pure selfishness... ๐๐คฌ๐คฌ
