Kumar is right. Corruption has been the driving force behind the privatisation of public assets. Negligence and price-gouging are essential to maximise returns for parasitic shareholders. Corrupting the Labour Party was the privatisers' winning move. I'll never tire of saying this - private interest-bearing moneylending was born as organised crime and corruption 4400 years ago. It continues as such.

Explaining the basics of Green Party economic policy against the fearmongering.
We’re not afraid of rich landlords leaving the sector because of rent controls. That’s good for people and the economy. We want to expand welfare because that’s good for people and the economy.

Burnham opposes water renationalisation. Only the Green Party supports bringing water back into public ownership.
Breaking down the economics of water privatisation and renationalisation:
Two Blairites laughing at how Burnham is conning the left. They have it wrong. Despite their cynicism we actually live in a hopeful country where people are willing to give a new leader a chance. That will soon come to an end.
Burnham makes leftwing gestures to avoid taking leftwing action – Janan Ganesh. Wish I'd written it ft.com/content/978493a9-7c1c…

Seriously brilliant đź‘Ś

Burnham has been convinced by a broken Tsy model that water nationalisation is unaffordable within their fiscal rules (forgetting ideological commitment to privatisation).
The Green Party is the only party that recognises that, actually, water nationalisation is intrinsically..

If you’re UK-based join the Greens! I’ve never been a member of a political party before, but @comrade_kumar_ #ZionismIsRacism motion has pushed the Overton window toward proper talk for Palestine, and @ZackPolanski bravery has been astounding.

Splendid stuff.

Might be the first time I've seen someone talking to Ashok who's actually willing to listen and learn the Greens' policy and POV without fear-mongering and yelling hysterically.

Palantir Labour has no interest in serving the people who elected them, just corporates, millionaire donors & lobbyists who paid for it
Only one party stands ready to fight the rigged establishment & take back control of our utilities & public services
Vote Green

The Greens need far more communicators like Ashok tbh
Erm rent control is a regulation that results in people having more expendable incomes to then buy more cookies.
This is the problem with growth is always good, the gov shouldn’t be giving taxpayer money so people can buy “cookies”. That’s a Ponzi scheme.
The gov’s objective should be to create a fair and stable environment, which uses laws/regs to encourage fair sharing of profits so businesses can flourish naturally, without funding gov excess.
If they refuse, only then should the stick of taxes be used.

Nice simple explanation from Ashok. I feel the Cookie Monster would have approved ;-)
