Private companies operating care homes for kids should not be making average annual profits of £45,000 per child. Tell me I'm wrong.

Hopefully this means he will not be Prime Minister for long. Starmer is mendacious, corrupt & mediocre. He is instinctively antidemocratic & authoritarian. His objectives seem to be turning public money into private profits while impoverishing the majority of Britons at the expense of his billionaire donors & corporations; arming & profiting from a genocide, while ensuring that those who oppose genocide face charges under anti-terror legislation; & amassing freebies for himself.

No real change

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Govt has launched a Water Commission

It will “focus on reforms that improve the privatised regulated model”.

Can't look at public ownership, profiteering, exploitation and democratisation of the water industry.

Pointless. Expect no real change.

@GhoshSamyak ‘No point in knowing unless you know how you know’ - thanks for this thought, a perfect definition of scholarship

@Otto_English @profdwh The Bishops in the HoL are from England only, so do they abstain on UK legislation?

Charles Windsor is to open two 'food distribution hubs' that will ensure the poor get to eat supermarket produce nearing its sell-by date. A veritable Marie Antoinette moment for the twenty-first century.

Israel has announced to the world that it has ethnically cleansed northern Gaza.

From the very start, it has been hideously clear what Israel’s intentions are.

But it’s those who have said so who have been smeared, while the apologists and deniers have faced no accountability.

[We Deserve Better @_we_deserve_]

Ethnic cleansing. Announced in broad daylight.

Every day the Government refuses to sanction Israel is another stain upon them.

As Gramsci said, “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

I will add: now is also the time for poets, artists, worldbuilders, and dreamers. It is a time to imagine not what is or has been but what can be and to make it true

[Charlie Herbert @Charlie533080]

“There is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes." (Brigadier General Cohen, IDF)

Ethnic cleansing, live-streamed on social media. Don’t ever, ever claim you didn’t know it was happening.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Wes Streeting is considering PFI 2.0: it could end the NHS as we know it.

Previously, the NHS received £13bn private investment, repayment is over £80bn.

PFI is a scam. Govt guarantees corporate profits. Govt can borrow and invest at much lower cost.

Re: Daily Mail story today. Yes, if Trump comes to the UK I will be out protesting on the streets. He is a racist KKK and Nazi sympathiser.

Breaking:

Starmer's Labour have just lost control of the City of Newcastle after 6 Labour councillors resign.

[Peter Foden🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @PeterFoden]

Sadly half and minus measures is what people voted for in Starmer: an open goal for Reform, unless the Left organises like life depends on it

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.

@GrahamSmith_ The world needs a new politics: ‘hold your nose and vote’ still stinks

[Transform Politics 🦋 @tf_politics]

Trump victorious.

Nobody should underestimate the right wing, anti-immigrant mood across much of the world.

Centrism can't defeat it.

The Left has to build an alternative that stands up for working class people.
