I don't want my pension fund investing in 'British entrepreneurial spirit'. That is not an investment goal with any social, environmental or economic value. And there are slim pickings amongst 'British success stories'.
James Anderson, outgoing head of Scottish Mortgage who knows a thing or two about investing in entrepreneurial companies, sees few value-creating opportunities in UK. What little we have, we sell off - ARM being the most egregious example.
For those that have a choice of where to grow their companies, the UK is not number one on their list. PsiQuantum founder, Jeremy O'Brien, developed the technology at Bristol University. But took his start-up to California.
Hope for us activists.
Collective action as a pathway for psychological healing of whole communities.
I reckon we need this. #COVID19 #Brexit #ClimateAction
By the way, #ElectionsBill sets out to undermine political collective action. Or joining together for common purpose to achieve peaceful transfer of power in elections.
A very important element of collective action is resilience (personal and collective). And resilience, in turn, is linked to a sense of life having meaning & purpose. Again, #ElectionsBill raises barriers to joint purposing in our political lives.
Hospitals already struggling. Record breaking attendances. Cancer operations being cancelled. ICUs filled with #COVID19 patients.
100 000 cases per day putting #NHS under incredible pressures. Vulnerable patients not being heard. @sajidjavid does not mention them. As if they don't exist. Abhorrent @doctor_oxford@Conservatives - is this the legacy you want to leave the future? #LongCovidKids@chilterns4
I think we must understand it is worse than we thought. Our govt is deliberately fuelling the pandemic. Goal of hybrid immunity policy is to expose our unvaccinated children to #COVID19. To 60% more transmissive Delta variant #LongCovidKids@chilterns4theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
A conscious policy design to accelerate the virus through the bodies of our children. No isolation for kids, no free lateral flow tests, forced back to work, no mandatory masks, no payment support. Scandalous generational burden of permanent scarring. @Conservatives@sajidjavid
Why? Because they have failed to keep us safe with proper #COVID19 infrastructure. Because #JohnsonVariant could not resist strongman Modi. Because ideology must come first: people last. Hallmarks of a degenerate regime #LongCovidKids
