@gmb re the social media ban for under 16s, why can't we adopt the Japanese model where they are blocked at ISP level and the parents decide when they can access it??
Liz Truss has said she would have done better than Rishi Sunak at the general election, winning more votes and more seats, all while remote working from her new home on the moon
1979: UK was sitting on a revenue bonanza from North Sea Oil, had a National Debt of just £80bn and owned all it's utilities, transport, infrastructure & millions of social homes.
2024: UK has £2.8Tn national debt & virtually no assets.
Capitalism has destroyed our kids' future
Warning: Miss one month’s council tax payment & it could ask you to pay the whole year bill within weeks. Council tax debt collection is far worse than finance firms. It’s destructive especially for those with mental health issues. My speech at @MMHPI campaign launch
Just a tiny number of the things we owned and the recent Tories sold off
If I went back to 1980 and gave you the full list you’d feel sick about it
None of us gained a thing except the super rich
Inequality through the roof.

Companies who advertise on Twitter should be forced to have an account so you can block them. Looking squarely at you Temu. My only choice is to say I don't like the ad, rather than blocking you so I never see them again. Gits.
Private Eye points out the humongous Brexit elephant in the room. While our governments stubbornly refuse to even acknowledge it. A country can’t make progress like this.
At least 12 Tory MPs set up consultancy firms as election defeat loomed.
They will use political links to secure advantages for their paymasters. Remember what David Cameron did for Greensill.
Those who can't pay lose.
Need controls/transparency.

Don't mean to worry anybody, but the Australian bank that tripled debt at Thames Water and then cut and ran has now bought 100% control of Britain's gas network ...
I told Parliament today that MPs are paid a fortune.
There is no excuse at all for colleagues to take up second jobs that pay ludicrous sums of money when they should be making the voices of their constituents heard.
A 5.5% pay increase for teachers and NHS workers is 'inflation-busting' and a 91% increase in bills for Southern Water is what the company needs to get back on a firm footing. Do I have that right?
Brexit needs to be dead, the EU have already said the UK can rejoin the Single Market within months if we accept Freedom of Movement.
It would save a fortune, make everything cheaper, and provide £40bn, £800m a week to spend on the NHS
Why aren't we talking about it?
