Timely reminder NHS worked, GP surgeries worked, NHS Dentistry worked, Royal mail worked, Trains worked, buses worked, all up until Thatcher.
What happened? They were privatised. Under name of Maggie Thatcher & Reagan.
Seems rather ironic that USA now protests privatisation of their mail 50yrs l8r

1p on income tax no one will give a shit about for decent public services.
How about 100% tax on property for investment by multi millionaires corporations & billionaires. 90% tax on profit for houses that could be for locals for holiday rent on websites.

Seriously doubt they’ll call early election.
That being said whom Starmers replacement? Most likely Wes shapeshifter-Gove Streeting.
Best person I can see atm Is Burnham to show a stop the rot.

Important issues like how much Charlie & his ilk benefit from all these new £billions pumped into our economy by billionaire bastards intent on smashing up democracy?

Meanwhile, most ppl are just waiting for timely doctors appointments & dentists without corporate interest, clean rivers & seas, & a postal service that delivers more than once a fortnight.
Funnily enuf, we had all these things, until the Turbocharged Tory & Labour “Centre”Thatcherites took hold.

Labour MPs say Keir Starmer would not survive a local elections wipeout

Party’s crushing defeat in Caerphilly byelection triggers renewed outpouring of anger and concern A wipeout for Labour in next May’s local elections would spell the end of Keir Starmer’s premiership, MPs have said, after the party suffered a crushing defeat in its traditional heartland in Wales. Though Plaid Cymru beat Reform UK to capture the Senedd seat in Caerphilly, the result highlighted a striking collapse of Labour’s vote, prompting fears in Westminster that Labour could be reduced to third place in Wales, a loss that would leave the leader’s position unrecoverable.

Labour. Conservatives. Reform.
Peter Thiel’s fingerprints are on them all — an ideological pincer movement pulling Britain toward MAGA-style autocracy.
My first @BylineTimes video investigation exposes how.

#LabourScum give DWP police powers to harass and intimidate vulnerable ppl with the least. Meanwhile COVID Fraudsters whom fraudulently obtained £146 million have not paid it back despite court order & are swanning around on a luxury yacht & nothing can apparently be done.
So fair & proportionate.

This Labour government hate the disabled, the vulnerable and the mentally ill. Since their election last year Labour has terrified disabled individuals and made their lives worse via cruel policy and hateful rhetoric.
Anyone still voting Labour you really should be ashamed of yourself.
