@Ed_Miliband made an interesting comment to @NickFerrariLBC yesterday. We need to do something about energy prices as it reaches up the income scale. I think that neatly encapsulates @UKLabour @LabourNorthWest thinking today @fjfish

Sentence I just got from an article in the Financial Times about public sector pay:

Fresh evidence of the pressing need to recruit and retain more staff was highlighted in new research by the Health Foundation on Wednesday. It found that the NHS in England could face a shortfall of about 38,000 full-time equivalent registered nurses by 2023-24 if it is to continue to deliver pre-pandemic levels of care.

This shit cannot go on.

In the UK there are a few thousand people who are collectively worth trillions and a few million people who are collectively worth nothing and we're endless asking the "nothing" group to pay for the problems the "trillions" group has caused.

Gas, electricity, water, rail, airports. With so many Tory privatised industries in crisis, it's time to reopen the debate on social ownership.

Water companies have borrowed £56bn to pay £72bn of dividends to their owners and directors have helped themselves to £58m. So firms are heavily in debt because owners borrowed to pay themselves large unwarranted sums. It is how private equity often works bit.ly/3R3Ozp9

So debased and ignorant has political discussion become, and so weirdly have conspiracy theories spiralled that some people now associate leftwing ideas with that famous Trotskyist vanguard, the, er .... World Economic Forum 🤦 twitter.com/James1357910_/stat

“Only one viable solution”, says @Ed_Miliband on @SkyNews, regarding @UKLabour’s energy plans.

Except that’s not true. There’s another solution: nationalisation.

16 Aug 1921 The Times of London newspaper exposed 'the Protocol of the Elders of Zion' as an anti-Semitic fraud. Businessman and anti-Semite Henry Ford continued to publish it a further 91 times. libcom.org/tags/jewish

@fjfish @pavsmith @UKLabour @LabourNorthWest @Ed_Miliband with @NickFerrariLBC @LBC this morning wouldn’t answer whether he’d attend a picket line. Of course he wasn’t picked up on it as he’s a Tory. @LabourNorthWest @UKLabour is a dead and rotting corpse. Sweep them all away.

Keir Starmer already making excuses for the next election saying "people said to me, you will never turn the Labour Party around in one parliamentary term" - literally no one said that - they said Labour would be 20 points ahead in the polls with him in charge.

Alexandra Kollontai - 1872-1952; Soviet author, feminist, government official. She broke with Mensheviks in 1915, joining the Bolsheviks, and rising to the position of People’s Commissar for Social Welfare under Lenin. She championed women’s issues specifically as workers’ issues

How does the benefit cap affect families?
How do sanctions affect health?
How easily can disabled people access benefits?
Why are so many people on benefits dying?
How are the DWP helping the most vulnerable claimants?

The answer is - Therese Coffey won't publish the reports
