This thread is about the increasing corruption in UK politics.
Corruption is hard to prove but immensely destructive of society

And our democratic safeguards against it are under serious threat.
Leading Cabinet ministers are taking part in the attack on our anti-corruption defences.

Unfortunately, the government’s attack on democracy is wider still and therefore even more dangerous.

Because with a functioning democracy, they cannot implement their extremist agenda ...

But we have seen that when the public finds the stench too strong, we can still force a U-turn.
When Johnson tried to use the Paterson case to rip up the standards system, it back-fired badly on him and resulted in the loss of a safe seat.

So this extremist government’s hold on power is more fragile than they would like you to believe.

With all the government is doing, it is hard to keep track of the big picture.

There is a real risk of the UK becoming the world’s first ‘formerly developed nation.’

The government has mishandled its three challenges

On COVID, almost alone among world governments, it has declared unconditional surrender to the virus.

Which will increase the likelihood of bodies piling high, especially among more deprived groups.

More and more of us have a feeling that the UK is heading in a very bad direction.

This thread explores what we might expect if we changed track.

The government’s increasingly obvious agenda is destroying the social contract that has meant that the UK is classed among developed economies.

For the favoured few, that will be good news. For 99% of us it will be disaster.

The government is now turning the UK from a country into a gigantic profit opportunity for wealthy donors.

When things seem to be going wrong in so many different ways, it can get confusing.

This thread shows that it is simpler than it seems.

If you don’t like them pouring sewage into our rivers, remember that results from government policy decisions taken to protect donors’ interests.

If you don’t like the idea of turning the NHS into something like the US system (which causes 2/3rds of US personal bankruptcies), remember that results from government policy decisions taken to protect donors’ interests.

Happy New Year!

The last decade has brought serious threats to the health, wealth and freedom of UK citizens.

This thread sets out the challenges and considers what the future may hold.

In terms of health, the long-term challenge is that the government is keen to dismantle the NHS as we know it today…

… and the short-term challenge is that the government has adopted – from the outset – a very poor strategy for handling COVID…

The Government’s Health and Care Bill is now in the House of Lords.
If it passes without amendment, the impact on us all will be grave. Please read to the end and sign the petition, while there is still time. Image

Ministers will be empowered to migrate our healthcare system to something much more like the US, where you might find yourself having to pay:
Blood test: $100-$300
Giving birth: $9,000-17,000
Breast cancer $15,000-300,000
Etc, etc

The government denies all this. But not very plausibly as this article shows…

Thread (1/4):

Do you know what it might cost you personally if the UK moves towards a US-style healthcare system?

Blood test: $100-$300
Giving birth: $9,000-17,000
Breast cancer $15,000-300,000
etc

The government claims we should not worry about the Bill.

But that is just not credible.

They also deny even the possibility of privatisation.

But that is not true either
