The only reason Gill stopped being the Reform UK leader in Wales was because he failed to win a seat in the 2021 Senedd election.

Zia Yusuf keeps trying to make this sound like this is ancient history, and Reform washed their hands of him, but nothing is further from the truth.

Curse of Private Equity.

Four of UK's biggest dental firms have raked in £1.2bn gross profit over the past two years,

Market controlled by My Dentist, PortmanDentex, Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services.

Prices 3.5 times more than NHS dentist.

No govt curbs profiteering.

Asda to raise £568m in sale and leaseback of stores.

Company loaded with debt, cut staffing, wages.

Already sold most of its warehouses and 25 supermarkets in sale and leaseback deals. Asset stripping continues.

UK and Norway won nature's lottery in 1970 - found oil/gas in the North Sea.

UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations.

Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies.

Norway now has $1.8 trillion sovereign fund. UK has public finance crisis.

UK Govts still appeasing corporations/rich.

Launched in the early 1990s to invest mostly in bonds, the fund has grown to become the largest of its kind by acquiring small equity stakes in thousands of companies across the world.
