Austerity is a False Economy that has Brought the Britain’s Roof Crumbling Down
Collapsing school buildings has exposed how the Tories failed
It's the most obvious example of the reckless & self-defeating approach taken by the Tories
Since 2010 Tories have cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third

September 11, 1973 - the Presidential Palace of #Chile is strafed and bombed by #rightwing forces in the coup against socialist #Chilean President Salvador Allende. The coup, supported and assisted by the #UnitedStates, ended #democracy and a period of social progress in Chile and unleashed nearly two decades of #dictatorship, terror, and death on the #country. The perpetrator of the coup, Augusto #Pinochet, was shielded from consequences after he left power by the United States and Great #Britain.

🇬🇧 "Who benefited from the British Empire? In the metropole, did it benefit wealthy landed aristocrats and financiers of the City of London, or did the Empire create employment and cheap goods for British workers?

It will take the UK a very long time to extricate itself from the wreckage of 14 years of Tory misrule - & I have * zero* confidence that a @UKLabour government under ‘Sir’ Keir (#KidStarver) #Starmer is up to the job of ‘building back better’!
To the contrary, I fear they will just manage our decline slightly more effectively but just as corruptly!

This has not come about as a result of investment and productivity growth. Instead, much of this private-wealth mountain is unearned – the product of windfall gains, resulting from state-driven asset #inflation, the mass sell-off of former public and commonly held assets (from land to industries) and the #exploitation of #corporate power. As philosopher and civil servant John Stuart Mill quipped during the #Industrial #Revolution, it’s “getting rich while asleep”.
This has widened the #wealth gap. The top tenth of Britons now holds nearly half of the #UK’s private wealth. The poorest half’s share, meanwhile, has never exceeded one-tenth.
As a former #US supreme court justice Louis Brandeis famously declared – a century ago – it was possible, in the US, to have either democracy or great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few – but not both.
Britain today badly fails Brandeis’s #democracy test. Yet, the Labour party’s leaders have no declared plans – at least, as yet – to close this gap."
