Privatisation in a nutshell: Steal from us something we own.

Sell us back an inferior service at a higher price.

The most obvious example is the railways.

But the pattern is the same everywhere else: the NHS, water, public services, energy, council services…

Women in Afghanistan are being obliterated—no voice, no face, no existence. The Taliban’s latest decrees are nothing short of barbaric: women banned from singing, reciting poetry, or even speaking aloud in public. Their faces and bodies must hidden from the world.

This isn’t just an Afghanistan tragedy; it is a stain on the global conscience, brought about by our failure to act.

[Marcus Chown @marcuschown]

Privatisation has never been about providing a cheaper, better service. It has always been about the rich stealing the assets we own and selling inferior services back to us at exorbitant prices.

They are not protests, they are racist riots run by thugs.

RT lets make the Media hear.

[Reform My Arse @PeterTr74604680]

Has @Nigel_Farage fallen below the standards required in public life, that an MP is expected to uphold. If so, he could be excluded from the House of Commons, and consequently face a recall petition & by-election.

Retweet if you think he has.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It is clear that @elonmusk needs to stay out of British politics.

RT if you agree.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem.

It doesn't.

Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press.

Britain has a problem with racism.

Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem.

RT if you agree.

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.

For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.

Staff are devastated.

If pensioners who get more than £11,343 a year don't get the Winter Fuel Allowance.

MP's who get £91,346 certainly shouldn't get ALL their fuel bills paid.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

It has been 19 months since Michelle Mone was ordered to pay back £232,000,000, she hasn't paid back a penny, and is still a Lord despite not appearing in 2 years.

It is time for her to pay, and for her Lordship to be rescinded.

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

If an MP does a second job, why isn't their salary reduced accordingly?

Therefore, if their second job earns them more than £91k they'll receive £0 MP salary.

It's what happens to Universal Credit recipients.

[Alex Webster @AlexWebster47]

How ridiculous that this family own 10 miles of the seabed round the UK and earn from any windfarms/development. Retweet if all monies earned should go to finance public services #AbolishTheMonarchy #KevinMaguire

"No praise is too high for the combined forces of the BBC National Chorus of Wales and the Crouch End Festival Chorus.

Liz Truss - awarded a six-figure prime ministerial pension at the age of 46 for just 49 days' work - wants to raise the pension age to 80. For other people, that is.

Israeli 🇮🇱 settlers set fire to shops and homes in the town of Bizzariya in the West Bank 🇵🇸

Hamas are not in the West Bank.

It’s never been defence.

It’s always been oppression.
It’s always been genocide.

It’s always been a land grab.
