Thought experiment for Labour…
With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

After scrolling through BlueSky today, don’t think I’ve ever been so thoroughly depressed by what I’ve read.
Whether it’s the unfolding Trump shitshow, or Labour sounding as Brexity as the Tories, and shooting themselves in the foot all the time.
Just thinking I might have to take some time out…

Makes me mad, this….
How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
