Britain was rich before Margaret Thatcher and billionaires didn't exist in the UK.
After her Britain has nothing and the billionaires have everything.
That is what she did.

40 years ago I protested against Thatcher and the ban of unions at GCHQ. 40 years later the party that supported our protests against Thatcher are now against us.
@publiclawprojct @libertyhq put Blue Labour in the dustbin where it belongs.

Can anyone in the government explain what on earth they doing here. Labour opposed in opposition then Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s abuse of secondary legislation to rail through these changes. How can they possibly now be condoning & supporting what she did? It’s a disgrace
Day 2 of our legal challenge is underway
Labour is defending Suella Braverman's anti-protest rights legacy by appealing our win against the previous Government.
We'll do whatever it takes to #DefendDemocracy
As of 1/1/25 the delete button will be pressed on a black icon with X in the middle.

United Utilities illegally dumped 140 million litres of raw sewage into one of England's most famous lakes - Windermere - over 3 yrs, the BBC can reveal
The firm failed to report most of it bbc.com/news/articles/cdrj70…

If your dog poos on the beach £1000 fine.
If United Utilities dumps 23,000,000x as much.
The environment agency doesn't even investigate.
🚨 Breaking News 🚨
Save Windermere has once again been involved in exposing United Utilities exploitation of Windermere. Today the BBC reported that in the last 3 years, United Utilities has ILLEGALLY dumped 143,000,000 litres of untreated sewage directly into Windermere from just one of their sites — that’s thethe equivalent of 23 million toilet flushes, 1,600 double-decker buses, or enough to fill Big Ben 30 times! 💩
According to the BBC, United Utilities claims they reported these incidents at Glebe Road Pumping Station as soon as they were aware, which suggests they simply didn’t know about the instances of illegality from 2021 to September 2023, despite it being their statutory obligation to show permit compliance. The BBC estimates an additional 24 incidents that weren’t reported at the time could have cost the company £2.5 million through lower rewards or greater penalties.
You might be thinking, where’s the Environment Agency? Isn’t this their job? Well, once again, they’ve turned a blind eye. They’ve failed to ask for the data, failed to hold United Utilities accountable and failed to protect Windermere from this predatory behaviour.
We need your help to stop this 🫵

Let’s try and get this trending. Keir Starmer has often spoken about his love for the Lake District. Now it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is and end sewage pollution in Windermere once and for all. Windermere is a symbol of our cultural heritage, a key driver of the local and national economy, and a sanctuary for rare and protected wildlife. This is a national and international disgrace, one of the country’s greatest natural treasures is being exploited by the multi-billion pound private water company. It’s time for Westminster to act.
@Keir_Starmer , it’s time to stop the sewage to Save Windermere.

Why is it always disabled people need to get a job, and people need to work until they are 95.
But never billionaires need to pay tax and give up their mega yachts?
