Good news for passengers in Wigan, Bolton, Bury, Salford and Manchester. When we retake control of buses in the west of GM next month, there will be a range of improvements to services. #BeeNetwork 1/6

I have huge ambitions for this country, grounded in the lives of working people. We need to tackle the cost of living crisis head on. With our clean energy mission, Labour will cut your bills and deliver good jobs in your community.

Energy bills will fall to £1,923 on average from October. And I do understand how much that is for ordinary people, because it’s almost exactly what it costs to heat my swimming pool for a week.

Water companies have been ripping-off people for years. They have paid £72bn in dividends since privatisation and now claim to have stopped taking more. That is NOT TRUE. They are using deceptive ways to extract far more in dividends. leftfootforward.org/2023/08/heres-…

The government’s lurch to an anti-science, high bills, energy insecurity fossil fuels policy is rightly being attacked by the most respected, mainstream energy voices across the world. inews.co.uk/news/scotland/…

Ofgem has decided that an average QUADRUPLE profits for energy companies, with 10x for British Gas. Wasn’t enough and so they have raised the amount they can profit. The old adage ‘The more you let a thief steal, the more they will take.’ Is applicable here.

On July 23 Johnathan Brearley CEO of Ofgem said “We will clamp down on Energy Companies making excess profits.” One month later he raised the cap so they could make more profit. He gets paid £300,000 and he sits around working out how much he can rip you off.

Call me cynical, but it seems awfully convenient that 300 Tory MPs are about to lose their seats and only now the rules change so that MPs losing their seats get 4 months severance pay. A backhander to Sunak’s MPs to keep them in line before the next GE? Or just more greed?

With the help of the corrupt Ofgem and Shell’s man Rishi Sunak the Energy Companies will make their most profit ever this winter. It is time Energy is renationalised, before it is too expensive to use.

The Telegraph spills the beans... "Britain paying up to eight times more than EU for road and rail projects, research finds" No wonder we can never have nice things. archive.ph/2023.08.25-200…

Rishi ‘grew up’ in the NHS - his parents made a good living & cared But GPs & Pharmacists now struggle to keep financially viable & are leaving, with income 15-30% down Govt has shown that they don’t care about #NHS or patient care, & ignore the pleas of NHS staff who do care

It’s remarkable that Sunak and govt ministers have the opportunity to affect millions of lives - to help people achieve more, to help ease the suffering of millions, to raise children out of poverty - and instead they use this opportunity to make a few rich folk even richer.

The reason you can’t get an appointment or procedure or an ambulance at the right time is because the NHS is underfunded. That’s it. Everything else is just distraction.

The Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph and Express are right wing propagandists whose owners reside in Monte Carlo and other offshore tax havens to avoid paying UK tax. Yet they spout hypocritical pseudo patriotic BS to their gullible readers. Isn’t it time they were closed down?

Standing Charges have more than doubled in the last year. That’s an extra £7bn a year they are collecting, for a network that costs £0.35bn a year to maintain. Why do they do this? Because it is all profit and standing charges will NEVER go down, whatever happens.

Imagine being Chancellor of the UK and knowing you have to declare all personal relationships, then giving your father-in-law £50m and forgetting. All while holding a US Green Card and using your non-Dom wife as a tax haven to save £20m. That’s our PM Rishi Sunak.

Call me crazy, but with the highest tax burden in 50yrs it’s not unreasonable for citizens to expect timely access to healthcare, decent education, clean waterways, affordable transport, a safety net that stops kids going hungry, and a decent pension. These are not big asks!
