Private equity in healthcare puts patients’ lives in danger, US studies show. Wage/Staff cuts, low investment, profiteering; higher deaths, medical complications, infections and readmissions. No healthcare improvement. Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE. Healthcare must not be a profit centre.

Multi-millionaire part-time MP Nigel Farage claims UK doctors are “massively overdiagnosing those with mental illness problems”, creating a “class of victims”. He considers himself better qualified than doctors. Reform attacking the vulnerable, lining-up more austerity, cuts, insecurity.

England: Less than half of English voters see maintaining the Union as a priority. Scotland: Support for independence has doubled since 2000. Wales: Independence support is up significantly in recent years. It's clear. The old Union no longer speaks to the hopes of the people. #ImagineScotland

Octopus Energy told to pull ‘misleading’ energy switch ads after British Gas complaints. British Gas isn't altruistic, is it. Energy companies make obscene profits, still use dirty tricks. Regulators must curb capitalist profiteering. Nationalisation is the best way to end phony competition.

Ernst & Young (EY) fines £325,000 for dud audits at Stirling Water Seafield Finance. Had cosy relationship with management; performed audits whilst not eligible to do so. No audit firm ever self reports audit failures. Fees are priority. Big firms can't deliver robust audits

Out of 55.2m UK adults 17.8m have annual income of less than £12,570. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. FOUR Britons have more than 20m people combined. Failure of economic/political policy. Govts still squeeze the poor. Good society can't be built on economic injustice.

11 top US corporations made $500bn profit since Trump's tax cuts in 2017. Spent $463bn in share buybacks, paid $140bn in federal taxes. Consumer prices hiked. Further evidence that corporate tax cuts benefit shareholders, not consumers. Trump promising $5tn in new tax cuts.

Trade Wars: China retaliates. Matches Trump's increase on US imports. 84% tariffs on US goods. People getting out of US govt bonds, pushing up US cost of borrowing. Will hit US businesses and households. Trump started it without any impact assessment. This cold war may become hot. What next?

Slow death of Royal Mail RM says it can't deliver 1st-class post in 3 days. Price Now: Ist class, postage £1.70; 2nd class, 87p. When privatised in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. RM doesn't meet any letter delivery targets. Email damaged it. Privatisation destroyed it. archive.ph/rieHC

Trump revels in authoritarianism. Global trade wars have begun. He tells Republicans "these countries are calling us up kissing my ass.” Dismantles govt depts, overrides courts, fires military chiefs, opens up coal production, cuts support for the poorest. US Congress obeys.

The wait for family-size social housing is more than 100 years in parts of England. Failure of govt policies for the last 50yrs. Jobs and housing not in the same place, ideolology blocked social housing, profiteering, low wages, poverty. Let councils build houses. Need people centered policies.

Ofgem's energy pricing formula enabled companies to make £514bn operating profit. Price of electricity determined by the most expensive input i.e. gas. Electricity from wind, solar, nuclear, biomass, hydro cheaper but price determined by cost of gas. Customers ripped-off. Companies make billions.

The DNA in our cells is not naked but instead is compacted by being wrapped around nucleosomes assembled from histone proteins. In our current view, this produces the chromatin architecture that leaves some regions open for transcription while others are more compacted & transcriptionally silent 1/n

UK law denies the full minimum wage rate to workers below the age of 21. They pay full price for housing, food, shoes, clothes, transport, medicines and other essentials. Output of their labour is not sold at lower price. Legalised age discrimination, exploitation of young workers.

Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me. Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits? There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.
