Amazon UK entities' pre-tax profits up from £455m to £555m.

It pays corporation tax at an effective rate of 7.1%, headline rate is 25%. Profits shifted through intragroup transactions.

UK retailers can't compete with hard-wired systematic tax avoidance.

The revelations about Samantha Jones’ private interests are astonishing.

☹️ adviser to Carnall Farrar, a healthcare consultancy that is part of a consortium with sinister US tech giant Palantir
☹️shareholder at a private equity-owned children’s care home business.

We don't think anyone working in Health in government should have financial interests in private health or social care companies.

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.

Racism.

Absolute impunity.

Since Thames Water is once again staring down a gun barrel, the £3 billion bailout it had runs out later this year, I thought it might be timely to remind us all of the “Economically illiterate”, cost govt comes up with to renationalise the water industry, you remember the £100 billion.

It is of course made up nonsense produced by a think tank in a report which was bought and paid for my United Utilities, Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water and South West Water.

By their calculations it would now cost £26,659,419,800 to nationalise Thames Water. 🤣🤣🤣

What a joke.

UK benefits are so high...

That they are the lowest in the Developed World.

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.

SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.

Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

Israel planted explosives in a school for disabled children at dawn today in South Lebanon and blew it up.

Not a military target.

A school for disabled children — perhaps the only one in the country.

In what universe is this considered “self-defense”?

Thames Water asks millions to stop using hosepipes.

A few days sunshine and infrastructure can't cope

TW built no new reservoir since 1989, loses 570m-592m litres of water daily to leaky pipes

Sewage dumped in rivers. Customers fleeced. TW still trades.

Royal Mail privatisation

Only 75.7% of UK first class mail delivered on time

Regulator keeps reducing targets, Royal Mail still doesn't meet them.

1st class postage price £1.80, 2nd class 91p.

When privatized in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p.

This is what a rigged system looks like.

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year you paid more than Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, PayPal & Honeywell.

Trump enabled these corporate tax dodgers to shift their profits to offshore tax havens in Malta, Singapore & Switzerland.

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history: Block by Block.

We're building 200,000 new affordable homes. We're overhauling code enforcement. We're cracking down on bad landlords. We're creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. We're building new paths to homeownership. We're investing $5.6 billion in NYCHA — the largest City capital investment in recent history.

New York is facing a historic housing crisis. We're pursuing a historic solution.

All hands on deck. All-of-the-above. All for New York City.

PFI in our NHS was a costly disaster. It funnelled billions away from patient care and into the pockets of private firms.

I've written to the new Health Secretary urging him to ditch Wes Streeting's plan to use private finance schemes to build new neighbourhood health centres.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

This is wonderful from @RichardBurgon🔥🔥🔥

PFI has been disastrous for our NHS and for patients. It makes no sense that Wes Streeting was trying to bring it back.

The new health secretary must commit to abandoning those plans and properly funding our NHS.

‘They’re a private company, run for profit!’: fury in Kent at South East Water’s outages.

SEW blames hot weather, not lack of investment.

Water companies in England routinely breach licence terms, still operate, fleece people, dump sewage in rivers.

What's the solution to energy bills rising tomorrow, this boiling hot day, the fear people have for their grandkids and the future of this planet? 💡🌍

Buying British is a start but why not British PUBLIC OWNERSHIP of energy, backed by 7 out of 10 of us?

Privatisation of the NHS.

NHS spends record £241m outsourcing scan analysis to private firms.

Private sector focused on profit extraction, not service. Money buys less. Public purse depleted.

NHS capacity not expanded. Why would it train staff?
