I think there's more to Haigh's resignation. A £1bn investment in London's freeport by DP World is to go ahead after tensions arose following comments from UK Transport Secretary Louise Haigh. Haigh called for a boycott of P&O Ferries, which she labelled a “rogue operator” trans.info/en/dp-world-...

Everything I campaigned against marching against Boris Johnson in London in 2019, fearing a corporatist Tory Brexit is coming to fruition under Keir Starmer. Free ports, Blackrock and austerity will be about “growth” of corporatism not socialism with benefits for most of us.

Labour is lying when it says there would have to be ‘legal processes’ before Netanyahu’s extradition. The claim by Yvette Cooper is not only false but a ruse, the ‘specific process’ would take only 30 seconds. skwawkbox.org/2024/11/23/l...

I couldn’t believe this tweet was real. I had to go to X to check. Incredibly, it is real. Has the PM no awareness of the reputation of BlackRock?

“Handing vital infrastructure to private investment companies will generate windfalls for investors and leave the rest of us worse off. We need a better plan.” A stark warning about BlackRock… they’re not here to help. They are here to seize control. That’s what they do.

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill set to become Act. But there is no public ownership. A Govt company will operate passenger services by renting rolling stock. Rolling stock companies (ROSCOs) making £2bn profit a year will remain privatised. Freight too.

Keir Starmers Black Rock tweet is quite something. 8.3 million views. But not a single retweet from a Labour MP. Of the 402 who could support him - including Reeves tagged - not one. Commiserations to Lewes , Limehouse & Poplar Labour who thought this was great & what people needed to hear!

Keir Starmers BlackRock Britain. "BlackRock is highlighting Labour’s entire political project rests on the willingness of companies like BlackRock to plough private capital into the foundational components of our society (and extracting massive profits in the process)." Really important piece. 👇🏼

What have I been saying for the last 5 years? Deregulated SEZs and Freports are the gateways to privatising the UK. BlackRock will privatise Britain – our housing, education, health, nature and green energy – with our taxpayer money as sweetener. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Spain fines five budget airlines, including Ryanair, £150m for charging passengers for hand luggage and seat reservations. They have been price gouging and misleading customers for years. Akin to buying beans and paying extra for the tin at the checkout. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke

One minute into listening to Keir Starmers BBC local interview - and it's clear how much trouble we're in. Justifying cutting off winter fuel payments to pensioners all around the country - he says it's a tight budget where they had to balance the books.

At last! A leading UK politician gets it. @Zack understands the devastating harm behind stupid economic household analogies and is the first to publicly call it out. Why more genuinely progressive Labour MPs aren’t defecting to the Greens I do not know.

Just like Tony Blair’s tenure 3rd Way policies always retain the loopholes to allow private companies to rip off the public purse. The recent debate over water companies too - 3rd Way isn’t “change” It’s just smoke and mirrors.

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill to become Act. But there is no public ownership. Govt company will operate passenger services by renting rolling stock. Can easily revert to privatisation again. Rolling stock companies making £2bn profit a year remain privatised. Freight too.

If - and that's a very big if - mega fund managers were seriously committed to being #universalowners there might be a case for this kind of PR. But they aren't. Blackrock & other US investors have walked backed from their earlier very minimal ESG commitments www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

“When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice” Rupert Murdoch. Elon Musk is the new iteration of the corporatised political demagogue, a technofeudalist who privatised social media under the illusion of the town square. Every click pays him rent.
