Voting Reform is the equivalent of voting twice for Trump.
It is an act of pure ignorance, or racism, or both.
And, as we all know, it leads nowhere good.

Please god UK. Do not let that happen. Learn from our mistakes. Learn from America’s mistakes.
Just get your shit together.

All GP referrals in England to specialists will now need to go first to Single Point of Access, staffed by non-doctors who will decide if the referral to a specialist goes ahead. This is a US private healthcare model by *Labour*.

$30m an hour: big oil reaping huge war windfall from consumers, extra $234bn by end of 2026

It is Trump's way of rewarding his backers. Corporations always profit from war whilst household/Govt budgets are decimated.

Govts must levy windfall taxes.

The money men love war.

The money they control ultimately comes from all of us.

Yet who do they vote for?

Who gets their political donations, using the money we give to their banks, their pension funds, and their capital investments?

In the end, capitalism kills.

Help to Buy mostly helped high earners, IFS says People with lower incomes benefitted less from the house-buying scheme than those with high incomes, the influential think tank says.

UK govt loan scheme for first-time home buyers in England mostly helped higher earners.

Median employee wage is £31k, most people can't service mortgages.

Social housing is scarce. Tories destroyed it.

Councils could build cheaper by eliminating profit but lack capital.

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

How Private Equity Captured the US Ambulance Market.

PE controls vehicle manufacturing, prices raised, profiteering. Higher cost of emergency services.

In UK, PE controls water, dentistry, vets, care homes, child fostering, hospitals. What next?

Capitalism worships profit, devoid of humanity.

Britain's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers? | Frances Ryan Carer’s allowance turns 50 this year, but it’s no reflection of the labour of the millions who cook, clean and nurse behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

UK's shadow workforce is paid as little as 65p an hour. Who cares for the carers?

6m unpaid carers provide vital support to sick, disabled, old.

1.4m receive Carer's Allowance of £86.45 a week. More likely to be prosecuted for tiny errors in claims.

Govts don't value humanity.

UK to give £380m grant to Tata battery factory in Somerset Investment in plant due to supply batteries to Jaguar Land Rover expected to boost economic growth and secure jobs

Corporate Welfare.

UK Govt to give £380m grant to Tata battery factory in Somerset.

The Govt isn't taking an equity stake in return, won't receive any dividends. It isn't a loan and isn't repayable.

Political parties demonize human recipients of welfare but hand free money to corporations.

Starmer says he is ‘fed up’ with Trump and Putin’s impact on UK energy costs.

Energy costs were high even before invasions by Putin and Trump.

Ofgem pricing formula guarantees exorbitant profits. Companies neglect infrastructure investment.

It can all be changed by nationalization.

Want to know capitalism’s endgame? Just look at private equity – it has captured our everyday lives | Hettie O'Brien These companies now own everything from nurseries to care homes, squeezing vital services for profit while we foot the bill, says Hettie O’Brien, author of The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned C...

Private equity controls our lives from the cradle to the grave.

Profiteers from hospitals, nurseries, housing, care homes, undertakers.

Business model - high prices, low staffing/wages, high debt, asset-stripping, tax abuse.

Profits for the few, misery for many.
