All MPs criticising Birmingham bin workers for striking against an £8000 pay cut should put their money where there mouth is and take an £8000 pay cut themselves

Publicly owned Royal Mail delivered letters six days a week. After privatisation, that is set to fall to three days a week. Yes, it's our old friend 'the superior efficiency of the private sector'.

The UK and US experiences after Thatcher and Reagan prove that the private sector won't invest in infrastructure and if the public sector doesn't do it, nobody will. That's just one reason to return utilities to social ownership.

It wasn't China's state subsidies or 'currency manipulation' that led to the deindustrialisation of the US rust belt. It was American capitalism's determination to exploit cheap labour in developing countries.

A peerage and a knighthood for the architects of Brexit and austerity, with the odd low-level OBE thrown in to those who have spent their lives doing good. Welcome to the British honours system.

Is there a two-tier justice system in Britain? With me in the studio to discuss this are a ferry boss not penalised after unlawfully sacking 800 workers and a woman who sold £200m-worth of unusable PPE to the NHS and kept her peerage.

Britain has the dirtiest rivers in Europe, the most expensive energy in Europe, the least reliable trains in Europe, the most overcrowded prisons in Europe and the widest gap between rich and poor in Europe. Could these things possibly be related?

The Daily Torygraph is quoting Lord Watson and Lord Austin, who are actual barons, in a red scare article denouncing 'union barons', who are democratically elected. The irony will be lost on their readers.
