Private equity run children's care homes are bleeding councils dry to pay off vast debt piles and make investors super rich. There really isn't a bigger ongoing scandal in Britain.
Private equity and offshore investors continue to extract millions of pounds from children’s homes and foster care, even as the cost of children’s social care pushes councils into bankruptcy. 🧵

NEW Britain's motoring lobby group the @SMMT has insisted that an unprecedented 2,000% increase in car exports to Azerbaijan has NOTHING to with Russia and is explained by the fact that this former Soviet state is a “flourishing market in its own right”. This is rather... odd 🧵

Baroness Jones (Green), "Ancient forests in Canada are still being cut down to make wood pellets to supply companies like @DraxGroupUK , who have had billions in subsidies. It isn't clean energy, it's highly polluting, and also its not economical. So why is the government still doing that?" @GreenJennyJones Lord Benyon (Conservative), "It is a complicated issue.. And it sits in the UK's net zero balance sheet" Lord Forsyth (Conservative), "What is the government doing spending hundreds of million of pounds in subsidies to @DraxGroup in order to trees cut down in America and then brought across the Atlantic. All of this is because somebody has designated burning wood as ticking the box in saving the planet, which it clearly is not" Lord Benyon (Conservative), "Biomass is a perfectly legitimate renewable energy source"
