Use water wisely during heatwave, say private companies who have made billions for shareholders whilst underinvesting in infrastructure over recent decades.
In 1975 the average of cost of children in care was £3,545 (£38,600 in today's money).
Then Margaret Thatcher privatised it.
Now 50,000 children are in Private Care at a cost of £384,017 each.
This blatant robbery provides terrible care and costs £20bn a year.
If you are worried about
Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £219bn.
Immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.
Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.
You‘re buying their lies.
I think it's very important that we remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
BREAKING: I've secured a parliamentary debate next week on banning all MPs' second jobs.
Farage has pocketed over £1 MILLION from outside "work" since the General Election
Being an MP is a full-time job. No MP should be out chasing lucrative second jobs.
Let's end this racket!
The UK is only in debt because it Privatised everything.
If Margaret Thatcher had never existed and we never privatised Oil, Gas, Electricity, Airports, Water, Mail, Rail, Rolls Royce, British Airways...
We would have Trillions of Pounds and own everything, just like Norway.
Nigel Farage and Reform UK want to
- leave the European Convention on Human Rights which protects our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials and so much more
- repeal the Equality Act - a key piece of legislation that prevents against discrimination in Britain
- Strip back workers rights
- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts and Legalize "fire and rehire" tactics
- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” that allow landlords to remove tenants without giving a reason and introduces new duties over health hazards
and to sell all this to the country Farage offers nothing in return but grievance and division. PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT.
That anyone could be supporting Farage and Reform with these policies must surely be a damning indictment of UK media in failing to explain all this to the public
Devoured by private equity.

Thousands of jobs lost, supply chain destroyed, taxes dodged. Yet govts venerate PE.

I'm old enough to remember when Nigel Farage would hold a press conference at the drop of a hat.
So why is he now launching his divisive policies in a blog post from the safety of his keyboard?
I can think of 5 million reasons why…
The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this.
What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.
Privatisation doesn't create competition. The free market doesn't lower prices. All it does is degrade the service because the profits go to shareholders and company execs, not back into the business for improvement. All the selling points of privatisation are fucking lies.
The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers.
Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.
We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes.
All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.
You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
