Let me explain the problem so you understand why your taxes are so high, your wages so low and your services so bad.
In the 1970's about 40% of the money you spent went straight back to Government to fund services and cut taxes.
Now due to Privatisation it's about 5

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.
The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

PFI was a massive drain on public services.
This government is trying something "similar" – but we've seen NOTHING that suggests they've learned from past mistakes.
Labour voters didn't vote for backdoor privatisation. They voted for insourcing.
We're furious. 😤

Why is it, that the BBC thinks that the Institute of Economic Affairs should be the go-to organisation to comment on the sugar tax to be applied to milk shakes? 🤷♂️
The IEA, a right-wing think-tank which actively hides who funds it?
And the BBC insists it's politically independent!

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.
