Politicians talk about getting families onto the “property ladder” in order to build wealth.
True, UK property has performed very well in recent decades, but one person’s house price windfall is another’s living cost inflation.
“For society as a whole”, the property market creates “an illusion of wealth, not the real thing.”
In the meantime UK house prices will keep falling …

*This* is why Thatcher was so successful in persuading people to act against the broader common good by selling them publicly owned housing stock at knock down prices so they could generate illusory ‘wealth’ — all at huge cost to wider society, and spawning the crippling housing crisis we’ve endured ever since.
Labour had the chance to reverse this catastrophic policy in ‘97.
It refused to — instead adding fuel to the fire by privatising social housing provision.

People seem to have short memories when it comes to Labour’s 13 years in power.
This is the legacy Blair left us: people killing themselves in prison after being locked up effectively for life for trivial offences, an NHS crippled by Labour privatisation and PFIs, and a housing crisis caused by Labour’s refusal to reverse Thatcher’s ‘Right To Buy’.
It would be insane to expect any different from Starmer in ‘24 — Tory-Lite Labour™️ isn’t a new phenomena.

FFS! Weren’t the Conservatives all for ‘localism’ at one point?
Now we live in a Stalinist top down autocracy.
At least the ‘Green’ Conservative mask has slipped and Sunak has outed the Tories as the child hating pro-pollution scum they always have been.
Thousands of kids will die because Sunak is petrified of a teeny clique of terminally thick far right extremists on his backbenches.

Well, someone’s got to pay for:
— Massive tax cuts for the already filthy rich,
— £bns of taxpayers cash paid out to donors and mates down the pub for useless PPE,
— a high-speed railway to nowhere
— £bns more in subsidies to already obscenely profitable cartel fossil fuel companies so they can avoid paying a windfall tax to compensate us for gouging energy prices.
That someone is YOU.

You know what? After the umpteenth ‘Let us know how your call went today’ email survey polluting my inbox just because I called a company to ask a sodding question, I’m going to start responding with exact opposite responses to my lived experience — a shite call will get a glowing review, a lovely call will be all 0s.
Survey that, corporate Britain!
@ecc67701 indeed. Pity is Yousaf appears to be letting them.
Pledging to start negotiating for a referendum sometime in the future with a London Government that won’t allow it at any point in time, just because you won a majority of Scottish Westminster seats under FPTP is just laughable.
A UDI is the *only* way Scotland can regain its independence and start managing its own resources for the benefit of the people in Scotland — at least in our lifetimes.

Worth remembering when you hear Sunak banging on about Britain exploiting its natural resources for the future that WE (you and me) own none of it.

Try not to shed too many tears, lovers, but Dan Wootton has been fired by the Daily Heil Online…
Apparently his behaviour with Laurence Pencil Dick Fox was beyond the pale even for them…
@f705eff1 this is about being active rather than passively trying an “ignoring it and hoping it’ll go away” strategy.
It won’t. Its needs gone, like RT.
People appear surprised that a conman found guilty of massive fraud just his week is actually a conman who is quite happy to use non-union non-autoworkers to pretend to be union autoworkers to create a false impression at one of his rallies at a non-union parts shop.
It’s almost as if his entire history of grift has passed them by…

Labour conference rule changes could stop members debating certain issues — like economy wrecking Tory Brexit…
Anyone still seriously considering voting for Starmer’s Labour needs to ask themselves whether they are, in reality, just a closet Conservative.
Stop voting Labour, #VoteGreen💚 instead. If Scotland can break free under FPTP — so can England!
Consign Starmer and his rudderless Tory-lite party to wastebin of political history, where it belongs.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/sep/26/labour-conference-rule-changes-could-stop-members-debating-issues-like-brexit
This just formalises the right’s contempt for internal democracy within Labour. Starmer already ignores key policy decisions made by members:
“Last year’s conference overwhelmingly backed a motion calling for PR, an idea ignored by Keir Starmer.”
Question is why are so many still deluding themselves that Starmer is playing a brilliant game of 3D chess when the stark reality is he’s making Labour utterly indistinguishable from the Conservatives on any major policy issue?
Vote Labour get Tory

@b5b9ea7b the weird thing is I live in the second largest town in Perth and Kinross (outside Perth as #1) but mobile data is patchy as hell, yet in the middle of the Cairngorms, with not a human habitation in sight theres often more stable mobile data available 🤷♂️

@b5b9ea7b we stayed on a steading right in the middle of the Cairngorms near Glenlivet while were house hunting up here. The owner used a BT cell tower on the hill opposite to provide pretty fast wifi in his rental units. Scotland is definitely far more switched on when it comes to infrastructure than England. That steading had faster broadband via the mobile mast than many parts of London who still subsist on dial up over copper wire 🤷♂️

Hate to piss on a noble cause but I’ll wager far fewer people believe in cloud fairies than actually haven’t registered to vote.
The only way to counter Tory voter suppression is door to door canvassing and registration drives.
You can help by making sure all your friends and family are registered to vote.
