Who flogged off the UK's nuclear expertise on the cheap to a bunch of private mercenaries, who then sold the whole lot on to the French state (meaning we now have to bribe France & China into building new nuclear infrastructure for us because we can't build our own)?
Who has literally no objection to the government of China owning massive chunks of our water supply, but has a vehement ideological determination to prevent the British state from running the British water supply?

Who sold off our entire aviation fuel distribution network directly to Oman and the UAE governments for just £82 million in 2015, then immediately leased it back for £237 million (!!!) for a 10 year period?
Who has allowedmega-rich tax-dodgers to strip £billions out of the UK economy to be stashed in offshore tax-havens, and vehemently opposes moves to properly clamp down on this kind of tax-dodging?
Who has accepted over £3 million in donations from dodgy Russian oligarchs and Putin cronies since 2015, and opposes Magnitsky Laws to clamp down on the massive flows of dodgy Russian cash pouring into the City of London?
Who has deliberately allowed millions of acres of British land to be flogged off to secretive foreign owners who use dodgy offshore entities to hide their identities?
Who privatised the operation and maintenance of the UK's nuclear weapons arsenal in 1994 so that it eventually ended up being run by a consortium 66% owned by US-based corporations?

Who has been desperately trying to flog off £billions worth of British public infrastructure to tyrannical regimes across the world?
If you're a patriot who stands up for their fellow Brits and believes that British infrastructure should be run as not-for-profit public services for the benefit of British people, not for the benefit of foreign governments and corporations ... what's the number one priority?
