#HatchetThatcher did even deeper damage to the economy (and government finances) and nothing is being done to fix the shit she caused..
He is right.
#HatchetThatcher and #TraitorTory policies in uk have put homes beyond the reach of those who most need it. With zero backup plan.
But, and I'll keep saying this: uk has no money because #HatchetThatcher and #TraitorTories sold everything.
And we uk citizens are paying the price for that.
She's incompetent.
She and #ukLabour have #RedLines
Has she worked out why the uk government has no money to spend or invest?
No???
Does she remember #HatchetThatcher ?
She sold the uk's assets
And leaving the EU cut uk trade by about £140 bill (£40 bill to exchequer).
We can thank #HatchetThatcher and #TraitorTories for that.
Plus all the other privatisation and dale of social housing.
All the above is why UK government has no money for public services or infrastructure.
Maybe the government should bill the tory party, #HatchetThatcher 's estate etc.
And he went on his catastrophic "economic" policies hand in hand with #HatchetThatcher
As I said, it started with #HatchetThatcher
But #Blair , with his huge majority just used #HatchetThatcher policy to completely stitch up the #NHS
Bankrupt them. Makes them £1 purchases.
Cheaper than nationalising them.
A side note: reason uk can't afford anything is because:
1) #HatchetThatcher sold everything off inc pub housing stock
2) #Brexit which deprives uk of £140 billion in trade & the £40 billion in tax revenues that raised.
Was similar for teachers.
After a life of teaching & controlling kids (behave properly) their lives were empty. Most retired teachers snuffed itbafter 3-5 years!
But #HatchetThatcher "commercialised" uk. The govt no longer has money to pay for education, healthcare, social care, roads, pensions.

Yes. #HatchetThatcher chopped the uk up to allow corporate interests (inc the #CharterCityofLondon ) to profit.
Now our local councils have nothing to help & protect their citizens
Child care gone
Social care gone
Social housing gone

I recall days family lived in small town, big house that had 1 coke fired heater (heat to rest of house via chimney) also provided hot water.
Local coal merch. got supply from Wales. #HatchetThatcher appeared. Closed mines. Merchant couldn't get Welsh supplies.
Poland supplies. No match in quality.
I believe thinking behind it, from the franchises perspective, there was zero huge capital outlay & the cost could be set aside for tax purposes.
It was another #HatchetThatcher hair brained scheme, but a #Capitalisms wet dream.
uk was doubly fucked, most rolling stock contracts went to Europe.
1/3
The plan has been long in the making.
From #HatchetThatcher times, through various #TraitorTory governments & #TraitorLabour govts.
Keep financially squeezing our #NHS via different methods ( #PPF cutting beds, cutting student places, cutting study/research places

The Swiss built one with 2 reservoirs but also supplies water

There's one in Wales

Storage systems are crucial to maintaining good electric supply.
Plus modernisation of grid.
Shame #HatchetThatcher filled pit shafts in.
**### Never Forget ###**
#HatchetThatcher #PollTax was a badly disguised tax giveaway to the ultra rich.
Rich couple in £5 mil mansion = 2 people
So 2 x £250 in tax Not the £5k rates
NE family of 6 in terrace hse worth £120k so £250 x 6
Bring back rates on property value.
He has grown up considerably since leaving politics, much like #KenClarke
Both have "come to their senses.
But I never forget that both served under #HatchetThatcher and helped to implement her disastrous policies that stripped this country of its valuable assets.
Someone mention Council Tax?
One of #HatchetThatcher biggest give aways to rich was scrapping rates, into of council tax.
Councils income dropped.
A band a a prop in Notts = £1400 council tax on ,£140k hse
Buck hse (band h?) = £2600 tax on 4- 6 mill?
Get bloody real.
