Happy New Year 😟

Labour’s golden opportunity to demonstrate how different they are from those that went before them…. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

Typical FTSE 100 CEO collects average UK wage in TWO days. CEO collects 141 times average employee's earnings. Some collect 1,110 times more. No link between CEO pay and performance - look at water, energy, banking, gambling sectors? Govts preach pay restraint to workers. No curbs on exec pay.

Grenfell firms still receiving multimillion-pound public contracts. In 2027, 72 people died due to faulty cladding. No one charged. Post Office scandal - postmasters fraudulently convicted of crime. Fujitsu still gets public contracts. After 30 years no one charged. See the pattern of corruption.

I’ll just put this here. Happy Christmas, everyone. And may 2025 bring you peace, health and happiness.

England water company CEO says long-term water security is under threat. Customers already paid, companies didn't build reservoirs, dumped sewage in rivers, neglected investment, paid dividends Now want to charge customers again, not raising capital from shareholders. End the scam. Nationalise.

Are we ok with this?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social You really cocked up with your comments about Care Workers. Care is a crucial social infrastructure and cannot be turned into a “soundbite” about “wiping someone’s bum”. Massive own goal which will cause us @greenparty.org.uk problems.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social What are you going to do about this? And by when?

And do it becomes more certain. Meanwhile, the Planet’s leaders carry on with the very activities which contribute to the end of the Human Race. Why? Because there’s no profit / personal gain for the leaders in stopping it…,

Remember, for much of the world - including pretty much all of South and SE Asia that relies on glacier-fed rivers for irrigation - no glaciers means no water and no water means no crops and no crops means no food www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Here’s a perspective worth giving consideration to…

@zackpolanski.bsky.social are you engaging with this expert?

Yep

Trump issues a “strategy” which clearly targets Europe. Putin says it’s “in line with their thinking”. Farage idolises Trump Farage has spoken of his respect Putin; worked on Russia Today tv channel; seen his close party member jailed for Accepting Russian bribes. Should we be worried?

Trump is only interested in becoming the World’s best Dictator. We should be worried that Farage, who ape’s everything Trump says, would do the same here.

How much more evidence do people need that Reform are only in it for themselves, and will do anything and everything to get power.

Can you imagine the news report in 200 year’s time?

This is how a country builds itself. Ensuring benefits of growth reach all levels of society. Or you can follow the USA’s model of measuring success by the number of billionaires you have. Which path are we taking…? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Surely this should be recoverable from the culprits’ insurance? Bridge that keeps being driven into 'has cost taxpayers £50k' www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is how you run a country. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

"The change in what people eat is fuelled by powerful global corporations who generate huge profits by prioritising ultra-processed products, supported by extensive marketing and political lobbying to stop effective public health policies to support healthy eating," www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tell Trump to Fuck Off

This is how you run a country

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

@ofwat.bsky.social @environmentagency.blog.gov.uk.web.brid.gy What are you doing about this?

No surprises here. China is annually building more renewable energy sources than the rest of the world combined, their manufacturing costs will fall. Trump has committed the USA to higher costs and uncompetitive business. Rest of the World must take the learning news.sky.com/story/why-us...

Here is a prime example of the causes of our economic malign. Excessive profiteering at the expense of consumers. This started with Thatcher, and continues under Labour People.. @labourlewis.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social ..STOP it NOW

DO NOT fly to, or around, the USA

Our idiotic and incompetent government has just agreed to pay more than a million £ a day in support of the continued destruction of ancient forests to feed the Drax power plant Pure insanity www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As per previous post… Here are the numbers… Meta makes $bns from advertisers trying to scam you.

And here we have it.. …corporations plan to make money out of scamming their audience. Problem: these corporations’ share performance directly secures/increases pension investments Solution: ….?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social SORT THIS …….NOW! @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social

Short-term political cycles drive short-term thinking/strategy/planning. Any government’s priority should be: Education, Education, Education Outcomes deliver: 1. Climate change understanding/focus/solutions 2. Species survival 3. (Self-driven) Healthcare

As with everything else the Tories did, I doubt this will be investigated.

This is what happens when a government invests citizens’ money for the benefit of that country’s citizens. It really shouldn’t be a difficult concept to understand. @premnsikka.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social

This is how you run a country

This is how a country should be run @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

No mention of viewers interests; just a focus on making money Also, no mention of editorial impacts from yet another Murdoch company buying up British media. Go this reason alone, I expect the CMA to do the right thing and stop it from happening. news.sky.com/story/why-a-...

This is how you run a country! @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

This is an example of a total lack of strategic energy planning by successive governments. So, To stop the lights going out, we have to pay Drax to be our biggest Co2 polluter.

And our plan is….? @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @profbillmcguire.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This shows the cost-cutting potential of renewable energy. That’s why the Chinese are building more than the rest of the World combined. Those whose economies are left relying upon costly fossil fuels simply won’t be competitive. @zackpolanski.bsky.social @profbillmcguire.bsky.social

We have economic problems, but this is another example of our government sticking its head in the sand over the Climate Crisis. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised... @profbillmcguire.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social @libdemdaisy.bsky.social

Just picked up this... This could be massive, not only for Scotland but by setting the direction, could also spur similar in England and Wales. Wow.. Go Scotland! @guyshrubsole.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’m beginning to think the unthinkable; The pressure on the “Corporate stays quo” seems to be building…. ….is it going to reach a tipping point?

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies Those companies pay billions to their shareholders And then lay off their workers Think that's unfair? Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…

UK energy companies made £30bn profit. Gas extractors £10.8bn Electricity generators £9.7bn Transmission/Distribution £6.8 bn Retail suppliers £2.8 bn £500 a yr profit from average household Bills up 42% since 2021. Direct cause of inflation and poverty. 128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty.
