Worried about rising #bills and getting by? Keir #Starmer has the answer: try chewing a flag!
The PM wants to talk about patriotism when the issue that is really affecting people is the #CostOfLiving.
If he doesn’t wise up, that #dissonance will sink him

Our new report ‘Suspicion by Design: What we know about the #DWP's #algorithmic #BlackBox and what it tries to hide’ details the massive expansion of #AI, algorithm supported decision-making and #biases in the #benefits system.

No #PFI in Neighbourhood Health Services
We demand no “Public Private Partnership” (PFI) to finance Neighbourhood Health Centres
PFI's led to NHS paying up to 27x over for hospitals. Some #NHS Trusts STILL wasting 13% of their budgets on old PFI deals
Even the #Conservative government said ‘goodbye to PFI’ because it is bad value for money.

I spent all day counting Keir #Starmer’s 17 #U-turns — see the full list
Where to start?
The U-turns he made after taking over the #Labour leadership and ditching his 10 #pledges?
Or since he moved into Number 10 just under a year ago, surely that would be an easy list to compile?
Well it took me all day, so let’s see what the PM has changed his mind on.

Abbott skewers Starmer on cuts
Keir #Starmer has been urged to stop referring to his plans to slash the benefits budget by billions as being “moral”
Mother of the House Diane Abbott told Starmer, “there is nothing moral” about taking an axe to social security net
“This is not about #morality, this is about the Treasury’s wish to balance the country’s books on the back of the most #vulnerable & #poor people in this society.”

Staggering energy bill hike sparks calls for overhaul of market
#NotLabourAsWeKnowIt (Jim)
#Electricity #bills rose by staggering 101% between 2010 & 2024, figures from House of Commons library show
But the rate of inflation over the period was just under 48%
Dave Doogan, the SNP’s #energy spokesperson, pointed out that #Labour had given a “cast-iron guarantee” during the election that they would cut bills by £300.

Starmer: a government of service seems like a distant memory now

Have the Starmer’s not heard of Primark, or George at Asda? If they’re so fucking hard up they end up in a situation whereby multi-millionaires are forced to clothe them, they need to make the very same difficult decisions that they expect us to make
"the UK's biggest problem is not the #NHS, social care, education, #inequality, climate change or the myriad other things destroying the quality of life in the UK. No, the big problem is that the return to capital on labour employed is not big enough" – @RichardJMurphy may just be being a tiny bit sarcastic here.
