4hago 13.55 BST Polanski says 'economic model based on austerity and privatisation’ to blame for Britain's problems Polanski says on his first full day as leader he went to Clacton - not a phrase you hear often from the constituency’s MP (Nigel Farage), he jokes. He says people there felt neglected. They need bold policies. 44 We're here to turn our country around. At every opportunity, from the doorstep to the TV Studio, our message is that the Green Party will bring down your bills, cut the cost of living and protect our NHS. Polanski says the country’s problems pre-date Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves. M1 These issues are rooted in an economic model built on austerity and privatisation. But this party is clear. We will break the shackles of poverty and hardship that lock so many in. We will end rip off Britain. And we will make sure that the very wealthiest pay more tax.

Have to agree…
Our essential industries sold off to allow Thatcher tax cuts, leaving us all poorer with no control over our essentials.

Wes Streeting, our health secretary has been receiving donations from companies and individuals with interests in the private health sector.
We'll see what these donors are wanting in return...

#RoyalMail #Stamps #Privitisation I am not surprised that the so called Royal Mail is phasing out the second class stamps. Currently any postage stamp is a lottery ticket weighted against the purchaser. It might get there but it probably won't. 3 birthday cards posted to me and 1 I posted MIA.

@NorthantsGreens Why is Labour on the wrong side of the Public on this?

Oh yeah, the money....

@jonathanpienews.bsky.social in a magnificent rant about the ills & woes of #privitisation in the #UK.
#Thatcher was the Original Gangster for this plague on the British citizen, who pays record prices for abysmal services.
But the CEO's & the shareholders are laughing all the way to the bank...

In a publicly owned system, communities can have a direct say in how services are delivered and priorities are set. This could take the form of citizen assemblies, worker representation on management boards
