#Tory PM #Sunak keeps insisting that he is concerned about the #environment. But his actions repeatedly show that he’s doing the opposite of what is required.

@Sarahw

My guess is Stewart's calculation is that the rump #Tory membership & the right-wing #media will get behind her...

I’ve seen some reports that the Tories are considering not increasing Benefits in line withinflationin order to fund tax cuts. These seem to be speculative rumours, but such stories are often leaked to the press to gauge reaction, so there might be something to them. If true, it’s typical #Tory Reverse Robin Hood policy: stealing from the poor to give to the rich.

Well this all seems very normal and above board. Why is it when corrupt cun*s like this get caught in a massive financial scandal they get promoted not jail

What the #Tory administration did to Woking is basically the same as what the Tory government has been doing to the UK .

Wow, the UK really is falling apart. This is the result of pro-business #Tory policies, deregulation, etc and putting profits over customers.

#Capitalism #Neoliberalism

well, well, well, the majority of #schools that are effects by the #RAAC #buildings crisis are in #Tory constituencies - some might see this as 'chickens coming home to roost' after over a decade of #education defunding.

A cynic might add, that it was only after this distribution become clear did the #tories 'spring into action'... as many have already suggested here, no doubt slightly delayed while they figured out how to channel the repair funds to their mates!

Can it be any surprise that after a decade of stagnant real #wages, the dire state of UK #management practice, the continued media focus on celebrity culture (where the talentless but 'entertaining' are rewarded) & a #Tory government that has made it its #business to shove money to its mates, that a significant minority of young people increasingly do not see a clear link between hard work and a 'better life'.

The only Q. is how fast is this feeling spreading?

Water Companies Exposed in Illegal Dumping Scandal

10 min video

The farce of privatized utilities continues to play out as raw sewage release scandal only deepens in the UK. Remember how conservatives backed by neoliberal and neoclassical economists assured people in the US and UK that privatization was a holy good against bad bad public ownership of services? 🧵

The Resolution Foundation has conlcuded that typical person of working age will be 4% poorer in 2024-25 than in 2019-20, making this parliament the worst on record for income growth.

And: 'There is no example of a government retaining power with such weak median income growth in the general election year since comparable data began in the 1960s'!

The good news is a #Tory victory looks ever more unlikely; the bad news is the Tories, knowing this, have adopted a radical scorched earth approach!

I was dicking about with Affinity Designer a little while ago and... I don't know... This seemed apt back when Boris was still PM. It's even more so now, so thought I'd share it around.

#Sunak is a #capitalist #enabler.
Completely #incompetent to run a country for the benefit of its people.

#RAAC #concrete scandal is such a perfect metaphor for #BrokenBritain and the consequences of #austerity and #Tory underinvestment.
#Scotland needs #independence …fast!

🇬🇧 #RishiSunak has moved to prevent a #Tory rebellion over new onshore #WindFarms by making it easier for them to be approved

New rules will change #Council planning requirements from unanimous agreement to simply demonstrating local support

It follows an intervention by former ministers, including ex-Prime Minister #LizTruss, who felt progress was too slow
