Under Attlee (1945–1951), the state built hundreds of thousands of council houses to tackle the post-war shortage
Under Starmer, £39 billion goes to private firms with e.g. 10% margin, instead of direct state building
Labour is giving poor value for money by relying on profit-driven contractors

Farage may lead the UKs populist fifth column, but this Labour govt, & especially the likes of the right wing Wes Streeting are truly the enemy within.
Palantir's Peter Thiel is a far right ideologue, & now has access to our NHS health, defence, & police data.

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

All of this talking about thawing Arctic and the Great Game around the North Pole is bitterly ironic, given that Bannon and Trump consider climate change to be a hoax, but there must be a reason why they are pushing this nonsense. 3/15

Nope.
The Labour party left me: I'm going for Green.
The 'purity of opposition' smear was always a poor excuse for acting like Tories - now its a poor excuse for acting like Reform.
Do the right thing and people will vote for you.
Offer hope, and they'll vote for you.
Vote Green.
