In 1989 Scottish band Del Amitri released “Nothing Ever Happens.”
A song about misplaced values in society, & lack of change.
It contained the line, “American businessmen snap up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing.”
An Andy Warhol painting was sold yesterday for $195M.

@PolitlcsUK Still won’t affect those who “legally” don’t pay tax though.

The estate of deceased intestates in Duchy of Cornwall and dying without next of kin passes to the Duchy.

Same applies to residents of County Palatine of Lancaster.

Money is mostly passed to the Dukes' favoured charities

Elsewhere, it goes to the state.

@PolitlcsUK Does that include bank accounts in the Cayman or Virgin Islands?? 🙄🙄

@NeilClark66 The banking crisis of 2007 peaked in September of 2008. By the end of 2009 through government led bailouts it had effectively ended.
The cost of living crisis started in 2021, & peaked around October 2022. It STILL hasn’t finished, & there’s no bailout in sight for the people?

[Neil Clark @NeilClark66]

A lot of people were fooled into thinking they only had to get rid of the Tories and life would become better. But we are now heading for 2.5 years of Labour in power and has life got better? Has everyday life got easier for most people ? Has the cost of living crisis got better or worse? In what way have Starmer & Burnham improved things? There’s a case for saying things are even worse now than in July 2024. cc @andyburnham

Some of Europe’s highest energy costs expected in Britain this winter.

Since privatisation UK gas storage capacity reduced to about 8 - 12 days, EU has 80 -120 days.

UK is net importer of electricity.

Wars, Privatisation and profiteering take toll.

It could also cost Labour the next election.
"Andy Burnham’s pledge to scrap the triple lock could cost future pensioners thousands of pounds, new analysis has found."

@snowleopardess The Orwellian way the entire msm was in lockstep with this was scary.
1. They didn’t mention those age 45-55.
2. Or the tax subsidy given to private pensions, supplied by private for profit companies.
3. Or rising pensioner poverty.
4. Or wage replacement rate. G7 rate etc

Meeting on Financialization of Society in the Houses of Parliament.

Private equity has hollowed out town centres.

PE now controls infrastructure, social care, hospitals, dentistry, housing and more.

What needs to be done?

[David Graeber Institute @Graeber_social]

Can someone in the UK explain why the country is moving to a US-style healthcare system?

Money that should go to doctors, to hospitals, to nurses etc...now goes to Private Healthcare Firms meaning people are not getting the healthcare they need.

Its total madness.

[Sir Norman of Nowhere. 🏴‍☠️ @Normanjam67]

If California can implement a wealth tax, so can we.
We just won't because our politicians are now wholly owned by their private donors.

[FuzzFoster💙 @fuzzfoster]

@WatcherGuru Apparently not??

[Gabriel Zucman @gabriel_zucman]

This is huge.

A just-released SEC filing makes an extraordinary revelation: Mark Zuckerberg is getting ready to pay California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax and has signed an agreement to remain in California for 8 years.

We are witnessing a global turning point unfold before our eyes. 🧵
