The govt's Energy Bill is a missed opportunity to fix our unfair energy pricing system and get serious about saving energy. We're backing 3 #GreenNewDeal amendments from @labourlewis @CarolineLucas @NadiaWhittomeMP that would save households money and cut demand. Please share!⬇️ xitter.cf/greennewdealgrp/status…

The UK company birth explosion taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023… There are now more companies created a year in the UK than there are live births. That makes no sense at all unless tax abuse and fraud are taken into account.

The UK company birth explosion

Earlier this week, I noted the problems with the management of UK companies by Companies House, the failed regulator that supposedly has charge of this sector. To put the issue in context, I plotted...

Sadly, as every NHS frontline professional knows too well, a ‘bed’ is meaningless without the nurses & doctors to care for the patient. You’ve done nothing to expand or fund more staff. In fact, your actions drive us away. The NHS is short of 130k staff - & this pledge is empty.

We've just announced £250M to help treat patients more quickly this winter. ◉ Delivering 900 new beds ◉ Part of our drive to put in place 5,000 permanent extra beds This will support NHS staff to provide the best possible care and help improve waiting times for patients. 👇

The UK only has 3.2 doctors per 1,000 people. The 2nd lowest in Europe and fewer than: 🇦🇹 Austria: 5.5 🇨🇿 Czech Republic: 4.1 🇩🇪 Germany: 4.5 🇮🇹 Italy: 4.1 🇱🇹 Lithuania: 4.5 🇪🇸 Spain: 4.6 We simply cannot afford to lose any more of them. They just want fair pay.

It’s in your power to change this. You could set up safe routes - like those for Ukrainians - you NEVER see them on small boats. You could re-open Afghan & Syrian routes. You choose not to. You choose danger for others.

My thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragic loss of life in the Channel today. This morning I spoke with our Border Force teams who have been supporting the French authorities in response to this incident.

Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right for people fleeing violence, persecution or war. We have a duty to help refugees rebuild their lives. Wherever they come from. Whenever they are forced to flee.

I don't know your circumstances, but if you take a wander around a small bookshop, say how wonderful it is and bemoan the fact that there aren't very many, then... leave without buying anything? I never tire of hearing the shop praised (thank you🙏🏼) but it doesn't pay the bills.

The magic money tree is right there!!! Going to the big banks …
Richard Murphy
@RichardJMurphy10 Aug 2023
This is, I admit, a long thread. But it explains why the government is needlessly giving £18 billion or more a year to the biggest banks in the UK when it is claiming there is no money for essential services and pay rises. I also change. So that has to be worth a read......

There have been so many scandals and so much corruption under this lot that this kind of story barely registers any more. And that is a real danger … Villiers had £70,000 in Shell shares while environment secretary | Theresa Villiers | The Guardian theguardian.com/politics/202…

Starting to think Rishi is career planning for a future in oil and gas, I guess he's best to keep his option open.

The UK financial services sector will be £2 billion better off in the next year as a result of today’s decision to increase the Bank of England base rate by 0.25%. They did nothing to earn it. The UK now looks like a giant welfare system for its banks and bankers.
