The story of the British people being ripped off by the private sector is a narrative the current Blue Labour government wants to ignore. Expect intense indifference from the current government, they want to cosy up to the same type of people that did this rip off, (unless they can blame migrants).

It is what the vested interests that have the ear of Keir, and McSweeney want so it is what the policy is. If Starmer were to announce a new EU referendum it gives his government a new lease of life and huge amounts of bile from the Tory press, so he won't do it.

Nationalisation of the bits the private sector has given up on, the lucrative bits remain in the greed sector.

Compared to Blair Cameron and Clegg, Boris is a shabby bungling ametuer, the revelation that he is still a grifter and liar will come as no shock.

Rachel Reeves tells private equity bosses she plans to shut down more regulators. Numerous banking scandals. PE is unregulated PE devoured hospitals, care homes, water, high street. Banks continue to engage in predatory practices. What next? Finance sector needs effective regulation.

Need to keep saying Privatisation and private finance has been a DISASTER for the PRIVATE sector, directing money and effort away from the productive parts of the economy into the public sector that would be far better served by a well run public sector with an ethos of service rather than profit.

Perhaps if we chain Trump and the republican leadership to an underwater curtain it will work better at reducing CO2.

Starmer came in bad faith, how many of his pledges, made when he was elected leader has he kept? Why are food banks still seeing evermore demand while the rich wallow in evermore sumptuous luxury?

No, too many politicians want to do the same themselves, indeed it is a major plank of being in Blue Labour.
