Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.

Is France signalling the end of neoliberalism? As a matter of fact, people will only stand for abuse from a financial system designed to oppress them for so long. France and maybe Spain seem to be indicating they've had enough. https://t.co/FxKTnzipiz
In Thatchers own words “privatisation of the energy industry will make us the envy of Europe” Thanks Margaret, you made a few people very rich and the rest of us much poorer.
Can Andy Burnham think big enough to succeed as prime minister? https://t.co/F0gdgu8P5t Burnham has a problem: he thinks like a mayor. He's already just fiddling within the rules when what we need is someone who is going to change them.

Young people have been betrayed by neoliberalism. The promise that doing well in school, going to university and securing a degree would open doors to having a career in and of itself has been shown to be a lie. This government, as with the Conservatives before it, will not address this crisis, as they still believe that neoliberalism is the solution.

Mandleson, Blair and Starmer have shown that Labour has no purpose, no ambition, and no mission except as a neoliberal shell for those exploiting a nation crying out for change. So, Andy Burnham is right. Inequality is the crisis that the UK faces.
