Rishi Sunak is choosing to plunge millions into financial despair rather than stand up to private corporations holding our country to ransom. There is an alternative to greedflation — tax the rich, redistribute wealth, and bring energy, water, rail & mail into public ownership.

Rishi Sunak is considering letting Thames Water raise their bills 47% to pay the interest on their debts. That will force over 2 million households to pay for their fake 'profits' or go without Water. RT if the Conservatives can shove this idea where the sun doesn't shine

🚨BREAKING ‼️ Excellent news that Court of Appeal has ruled Braverman's utterly inhumane, grotesquely immoral & totally unworkable #Rwanda scheme to be illegal too - & in clear breach of human rights law. Time for an asylum policy which treats people with respect & dignity.

How can water companies be so in debt, pay billions in dividends and make no investment whatsoever? How can we let such a corrupt and unfit for purpose system carry on to exist? When are we going to take action and clean up our waters?

This guy is blinded by neoliberal orthodoxy. Govts are only limited by the availability of real resources. The truth is there's loads of spare capacity in the world's 5th largest economy. We could eliminate poverty in the UK and create a good society, but the political will is…

Water companies have collectively taken on £60bn debt, since they were privatised in 1989. Thames Water alone has debt of £14bn. They have just budgeted for fines and taken profit at the cost of polluting our rivers & seas. Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water now.

Water bills in England 'set to go up 40% as companies cover sewage spill costs'. NO. Since 1989, charges rocketed in real terms, profits handed to shareholders, no new reservoirs, sewage dumped. Shareholders must pay. End scam. Nationalise water. mirror.co.uk/money/water-bi…

Dear @RishiSunak, Your Conservatives put us through Austerity 1.0 and destroyed a generation. 300,000 people died due to your policy decisions. You said our pay couldn't increase for years because we just didn't have the money. We're now firmly in Austerity 2.0 and you're…

A handful of billionaires are filling their pockets while children go hungry and homeless people die on the streets. I think that everybody deserves a place to live and enough food to eat. Is that really such a radical idea?

We all won the lottery when David Lynch was given money to direct 18 new hours of Twin Peaks, with seemingly zero interference. I still can’t quite believe The Return - in all its mad, frog-moth-monster-y glory - exists.

The fiscal rule is made up, the decision not to raise taxes on the rich is political, and Reeves should be made to answer questions as to why—after a decade of wage stagnation—public sector workers should face falling real wages and living standards.

I keep asking the question ‘what is Labour for?’ and every day it gets harder to answer. Like the Tories they are dedicated to sacrificing working people to failed neoliberal economic dogma.

Dear 🇬🇧, We junior doctors are set to launch the longest period of industrial action in NHS history as we go on strike for 5 consecutive days from 13 July. Striking is always a last resort but it's an absolute necessity right now. Here's why. Your NHS is collapsing because we…

If you like my threads on economics then you should like this one from @andyverity from the BBC, who is one of the UK’s few mainstream economics reporters who understands how the economy works and is willing to say it like it is.

Martin Wolf joins the ranks of the economists calling for class warfare on working people whose wellbeing, homes, and maybe lives must, he says, be sacrificed to ending inflation without ever explaining why it is they alone who must suffer. ft.com/content/83026a…

The facts banks are only fully passing rate rises on to borrowers not savers is counterproductive and profiteering. Encouraging saving, takes money out of the economy to help inflation too. Govt should be pushing hard to ensure banks don't just increase margins

We learned a lot about the policy of the government and the Bank of England when it came to inflation yesterday. Above all, we learned that they really want to frighten people into accepting lower standards of living. Economic warfare on the country has begun. A thread….
