Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

I have checked all my statements since 2022. Fixed costs for water supply have increased by 41% and sewerage by 55%.. usage has also increased by 30% and 49% respectively. Would the consumer have to pay for their incompetence to save our rivers whilst they are reporting 200+ millions in profit.

If they had a Left wing person on Question Time every single week like they have a Reform person, the polls in the UK would be completely different.

But of course they only put a Left wing person on once every blue moon to prevent this.

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.
Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

#ECHR
What none of these idiots mention is #NorthernIreland

Leaving the ECHR would violate the The Good Friday Agreement and end up with either NI staying in, whilst the rest of the UK left or being dragged out with all the consequences that would have for peace...

Would leaving the ECHR really 'stop the boats'?
The extent to which leaving the Convention would make a difference to immigration has been greatly exaggerated, argues Lord Sumption

Nobody should make a profit from the NHS.

Get private companies out and keep the budget for treating patients.

Since Starmer came to power, NHS privatisation has increased by up to 71%
From July 2024-July 2025, the amount of firms leeching profit from the NHS has increased by huge amounts in London, Dorset and other areas

Soon, MPs will have a final chance to amend the Mental Health Bill. I’m supporting Mind’s campaign to improve the Bill to give people more say in their treatment, end racial inequalities & make it work for young people. I’ve emailed my MP, will you email yours?
