Lloyds, HSBC, Barclays, Natwest post £44.2bn pretax profit, up 41% from £31.4bn.
Not because of extra effort.
Govt forced people to hand their money to banks.
Their unchecked profiteering is our inflation, cost-of-living crisis.
The state we're in.

We finally have it, the truth.
@Ofwat tells select committee @CommonsEFRA it can't use all of it's legal powers to regulate water companies as it would force them into bankruptcy.
So we let them blatantly and deliberately pollute the environment. 🤬🤬

Five healthcare giants - Bridgepoint, Bupa, Centene, Spire, UnitedHealth Group - have won a share of the NHS contracts worth £70 bn.
All have history of scandals.
NHS privatised.
Each £1 of privatisation buys less, 30%-40% vanishes in profits.

England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water.
The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive.
England has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.

Professor Michael Marmot nails Rishi Sunak's lies.
The destruction of the NHS, and the huge waiting lists are all due to Conservative Defunding.

The UK has the highest retirement age in the world, the lowest pension in Europe, the longest working hours in Europe, one of the lowest minimum wages, the highest energy costs, the biggest profits, and the lowest taxes for the richest.
It all needs to change.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post has incorrectly claimed a fact about the UK regarding working hours.
UK working hours are on avg 35.9 hrs/week.
(clockify.me/working-hours#….)
"The longest working weeks were recorded in Greece (41.0 hours), Poland (40.4), Romania and Bulgaria (40.2 both)."ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/p….

The Conservatives are going to force Councils to sell £23bn of assets to cover the blackhole they have created with 30% cuts in 14 years.
Guess who will be buying them at bargain basement prices?
Conservatives, this behaviour is criminal, or it should be.

Don't believe the Tory spin. Ben Houchen has effectively been put into special measures over the Teesworks scandal.
In 45 years of politics & public service, I've never read a more damning report about a public body and how it conducts its affairs.
The NAO must now investigate.

Kemi Badenoch is unfit for office
2008
She confessed to HACKING into Harriet Harman's website & changing material on there.
The CRIME carried a jail sentence of up to 5 years at the time.
Nothing happened.
Reminiscent of her actions since then?

Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of voter ID is designed to rig the next election by stopping younger and historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them.

Off peak return Cambridge to Manchester is £129.40.
Absolutely fucking insane.
Costs *less than half that* in petrol to drive (for one person).
What sort of stupid, stupid country makes train travel 2, 3 or 4 times more expensive than driving?
Tory Britain.

Rishi Sunak £282m

96% of people £0

All the Countries in either blue have Free Trade with each other, which makes trade 15% cheaper.
Profit margins are usually 6-10%.
So the UK is completely surrounded by countries it can’t trade with.
This madness costs £2.2bn a week. £320m a day.
£5 per person, per day

High taxes for you.
High flying for Rishi Sunak.

Post Office boss admits money from Horizon victims may have gone into executive pay.
Not 'may have', it did. This money boosted revenues and performance related pay.
They knowingly falsely convicted people.
Must pay-up now and face criminal charges.
