This is the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act 2025. Passed both houses and royal assent in a single day. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2025/1... Well done legisilation.gov.uk in publishing the legislation so quickly over the weekend. Understandably only available in pdf so far.

Canny political manoeuvring from Starmer to renationalise British steel… hope it’s the thin edge of the wedge… to renationalise British rail, water and energy?

Trump is literally rounding people up now! And people are just letting it happen.

Boomers had it so good, but no critical thinking, but they let Thatcher fuck it all for future generations with neoliberalism. Don’t at me. It’s not about you.

Funny how Starmer’s Labour can’t possibly renationalise the failing water companies but can knee jerk renationalise British steel in light of the Trump tariffs innit?

Crazy Hot Take: Elect a #monarchy? 10-year cycle. A slate for positions. Maximum of 2 terms. Exclude past and present MPs.

I think everyone would welcome more bobbies on the beat… if it was in the suburbs, to give some police presence… but Starmer’s plan to have heavy police presence only in town centres at the weekend will be oppressive.

Labour needs to stop being scared of Brexit and Reform and Farage and rejoin the EU Customs Union ASAP as response to the Trump tariffs

Four of the failing water companies paid for a study determining that renationalisation of water would be too expensive! But it would save £3 billion in shareholder dividends!

Why is it so hard for governments elected by the people, for the people, to understand that billionaires do not need tax breaks???

We need solar panels and heat pumps in every new build house, and cheap starter homes not ‘affordable’ housing, and new social housing obviously.

Not a fan of the #PSPO as it's just pandering to the BID and nice folk that don't want to see the homeless, and all existing police powers and local by-laws already cover it. Now #Chester bans fires, ie, BBQs in the park and meadow, and jumping off the bridge. Well no shit sherlock!

Interesting that there seems to be nothing on the news about all the protests in America innit? Only talking about the stock market. Cos that’s all that matters.

Why the fuck does the government have to justify raising NI? Cos capitalism expects the workers to pay for everything to keep those rampant profits rolling in for shareholders to remove from the economy and hide offshore

Disillusioned voters in the UK, thinking of voting for #Reform because of the racism, are shocked to learn they want to get rid of the NHS, and thought they were on their side.

#Tesla is facing serious challenges in Canada. The federal government is ending electric car rebates. Tesla reported sales of 8,600 cars in 4 days to claim $41 million in rebates. These cars were sold to a holding firm owned by Musk. The rebates have not been paid, and the government is likely suing

#Elon bought Elon's company from Elon with money he borrowed from Elon's company for $11 billion less than Elon paid for it. This gives Elon a massive tax break for the loss of value on a significant asset that left Elon's portfolio to be in Elon's portfolio. Eat the rich. Tax the billionaires.
