Water CEOs could be jailed for sewage dumping cover-up under new law. Won't end dumping, profiteering. Failed regulators to decide whether to prosecute. If they don't? Need customer reps on regulatory bodies, customer vote on exec pay. Must nationalise. theguardian.com/environment/ar…
I believed Starmer and Reeves were too smart to repeat austerity. It appears I was wrong. says Danny Blanchflower. UK heading to austerity 2.0, obsession with defunct economic theories. Need postwar reconstruction, public investment, redistribution. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Private equity owned US hospices deliver profiteering, high debt, asset stripping, worse care. Discharge patients before death, more likely to transfer patients to hospitals & emergency rooms, higher complaints/deficiencies. PE is now in UK healthcare. theguardian.com/business/artic…
Police under pressure to accelerate criminal investigation into Grenfell fire. Accelerate ... it has been 7 years. Nothing changed. Just like the Post Office scandal where after 25 years no one charged with anything. Justice delayed is justice denied. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
Mirage of £1.4bn govt saving from Winter Fuel Payment cut. Ignores cost of handling 880,000 applications for Pension Credit (PC). PC claimants can get WFP and other benefits - total cost around £4bn. 1.6m pensioners below poverty line may lose WFP. leftfootforward.org/2024/08/the-go…
Article sums up what I &, I believe, many Labour MPs are feeling about Winter Fuel Allowance. Unless there’s a serious change by Tuesday’s vote, I will be forced to vote against whilst threat of whip withdrawal will lead to others dissenting by abstaining. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Labour’s decision to cut winter fuel payments is mean and politically inept. Assumed savings won't materialize More pensioners will die. Every death from cold will be blamed on the chancellor. There are alternatives. Chancellor must row back. Will she? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Justice for Grenfell deaths may not come this decade, warns former chief prosecutor. Criminal trials unlikely B4 2029. Same at the Post Office. No one charged after 25 years. Corporations are above the law. But law moves speedily against little people. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…
