This is just astonishing. Starmer is evil and servile at the same time.

A few rumours beginning to float around that the Labour government will scrap their plans for mandatory digital ID. This is because a huge public backlash. Keep the pressure on. Just say no to digital ID.

🛑 Enough is enough! It’s absolutely outrageous that Asda is shipping in lamb from the other side of the world—Australia and New Zealand—while our own hardworking British farmers are left out in the cold. We need to stand up and say we want British lamb on those shelves! 🇬🇧🐑…

So let me get this straight. Victim of the post office scandal Janet Skinner is offered just 15% of her compensation claim. Yet the disgraceful human that is Paula Vennells walks away with £millions in bonus payments. Disgusting. #PostOfficeScandal #Newsnight

Better advisors needed @wesstreeting If you are going to tell the public that there are more GPs, they are rightly going to expect their local practice to have more access Sadly the way GPs have been recruited isn’t leading to more appts or more GPs

This is an extremely significant research report setting out the scale of the rip off of privatisation. £200 billion paid to shareholders that should have been invested in the services.

Welcome to Rip-Off Britain.   A country remade by privatisation.  Our latest project — Who Owns Britain? — explores how a radical experiment transformed our society and shapes your life. 🧵

Nothing screams “Mandelson-brokered deal” like auctioning off our values to BlackRock & Palantir for £150bn and a handshake with Trump. If investment comes at the price of our values, it’s not a bargain. It’s a bribe.

There is gross mismanagement of NHS spending. We spend £1.3bn on management consultants annually with no evidence they help. Services are increasingly outsourced to private providers, which are more expensive and have no regulation. The NHS is being intentionally dismantled.

The new NHS Trust league tables are a new and clever way for politicians to point fingers and cast blame, without creating real solutions.
