Arm was founded in Cambridge.
It designs the chips in ~95% of the world’s smartphones- one of the most important tech companies on Earth, and it’s British.
We sold it to SoftBank in 2016, spun as a post-Brexit win. In 2023 it IPO’d on NASDAQ, not London.
Wall Street got the fees and prestige. London got the lesson.
America blocks foreign takeovers of strategic tech on national security grounds. Britain sold Arm.
We auction our future. They defend theirs. 🤬
Cadbury was founded in Birmingham in 1824.
In 2010, it was acquired by an American company.
Today, much of the profit from one of England's best-known chocolate brands flows to overseas shareholders.
The UK chocolate market is worth over £8 billion a year. If just 10% shifted to English-made producers, that's £800 million supporting businesses, jobs and investment here.

How predictable.
Rupert Lowe won’t stand a candidate in Aberdeen where there is a by-election to replace Stephen Flynn.
Why because the Tory candidate had a strong chance of winning it.
Whereas in Makerfield where Reform have a good chance of winning, he puts up a candidate.
Yet more proof that Restore is a Tory psyop.🤨

We used to own BP until Thatcher sold it, it made £23bn this year.
We used to own Centrica until Thatcher sold it, it made £3.3bn this year.
Every year these now privatised industries rob you of a fortune that should be yours.
Scrapping the 2-child benefit cap: £1.3bn
A 1% wealth tax on assets over £10m: £10bn
And we’re supposed to believe that ending child poverty is unaffordable?
The U.K. public pay considerably less for healthcare than similar countries:
- The French pay 20% more
- The Germans pay 40% more
- Norwegians pay 50% more
It’s about time we accepted: you get what you pay for.
Boris Johnson lied his way to power, but he did not do so alone.
Today should be a day of reflection for all those in Parliament & in our media who indulged in his dishonesty.
For those of us who believed in something different, we will carry on fighting for a fairer world.
The major issues facing U.K. citizens:
1. Climate crisis
2. Deadly healthcare rationing
3. Food Poverty
4. Corruption
The issues our govt are prioritising:
1. Their WhatsApps
2. Small boats
3. Removing inheritance tax
4. Freeport’s and deregulation
They live in another world
As teachers go out on strike today and many other union ballots close, here's a reminder of what trade unions have given us ⤵️

Make no mistake, the govt have the upper hand in the NHS strikes.
They don’t care if we strike…
They don’t care if we don’t strike and simply leave our jobs…
All roads lead to longer NHS waiting lists and more opportunity for private healthcare!
It’s all they really want.
35% of UK prime ministers have been educated at one school: Eton.
This was an entrance exam question set by the school in 2011.

Imagine the NHS had stayed on the path it was on in 2008?
- 100s of thousands would still be alive.
- waiting lists wouldn’t be in the millions.
- ambulances would arrive in minutes.
- the economy would be stronger.
- and there’d be no strikes.
