How does a 'solidarity union' function when Drakeford's Freeports pact with Sunak, Gove and Shanker Singham paves the way for patchworks of corporate sovereignty in Wales? He's just invited anarcho-capitalists to carve up Wales for off-shore profiteering.

Read @eyes_lilly expose of Sunak's Freeports bolstered by the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill and of course the REUL Bill which will further trap locals in investment zones, aka charter cities.
The tactic is to make rejoining EU impossible. #Brexit

UK looks set to be broken up into separate countries, notably with each country having their own Freeport(s) installed before the split, England on course to be fractured into multiple feudal fiefdoms, ruled by regional dictators, benignly referred to as “Mayors” or “Governors”
Do people know what Section 114 notices are?
They occur when Councils undergo engineered insolvency, Thurrock, Kent, Liverpool, Hampshire have all issued Section 114s, primed for hostile takeover by venture capitalists. Combined County Authorities (CCAs): Divide and conquer.
Labour jettisoned its socialist core back when Thatcher's policies were adopted by Blair (her greatest achievement). Blair eliminated Clause 4 that allowed Labour to embrace the private sector, all Murdoch backed. This is why Labour back Brexit deregulation with Freeports today.

Guardian puff piece😡 about Free trade deal with🇦🇺 with zero mention of catastrophic undercutting of British farmers, carbon footprint, 🇦🇺track record of appalling climate change denial and intensive farming practices. Race to the bottom is complete.

A winter of self-inflicted discontent is coming with lashings of chaos, disorder and departures from European standards that protect food security. Brexit embracing globalism for anarcho-capitalists is rotting the foundations of regulation with unecessary red tape. #Brexit
Food price rises as inflation skyrockets from a triple whammy of Brexit, Covid & Ukraine. British food production is suffering and cannot sustain being undercut by 'big agri' like 🇦🇺EU requires all imported beef to be strictly HGP-free, which restricts majority of 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦 produce

What will Labour do when in power that is any different to what the Tories are doing to the UK?
Blair was Thatchers greatest achievement.
Embracing deregulation weaponises anarcho-capitalists and entrenches austerity as a policy choice.
So please, what will change?
FM Mark Drakeford has embraced Shanker Singham, Gove and Sunak's freeports, these will totally change the fabric of post-Brexit UK where venture capitalists can operate with private laws beyond Govt reach. I absolutely despair at how gullible people are.
I have always voted Labour, I will do so again, so stop the fucking pile on. We must be able to question our political representatives, no one can be a perfect leader, they're just people. The mistake being made by Labour is in economics and blind trust that markets self regulate

@carolvorders Something very suspicious here, I suspect an engineered attempt at insolvency to 'merge' this council into a CCA, transferring public wealth to private hands and start land grabbing like Teesside, this area sits on the border of Southhampton (Solent) Freeport.👇🏻
@carolvorders Well, what do you know? US ExxonMobil listed here as a tax site with Southampton Water...ExxonMobil's environmental record has faced much criticism for its stance and impact on global warming, so the usual greenwashing BS of deregulated Freeports is a go
solentfreeport.com/what-is-a-free…
'As the UK’s number one export port, Southampton handles exports worth £40 billion annually, including £36 billion destined for markets outside the EU'...deregulation dystopia off-shoring wealth for the 1% will devastate what's left of UK economy. #Brexit

People are confused, they don't know which parties represent their interests anymore. Predatory capitalism has aggressively accelerated the absence of a robust democratic left. A nominal centre-left has muddied the waters.
A lack of managed capitalism since the 70s has led to a dire economic situation where the unravelling of the social contract has ushered in malign corporate influence over our elected politicians. Globalism destroys checks and balances on GDP so profit share outweighs wage share.
When people feel vulnerable, when money is scarce they are far more likely to turn to tyrants out of desperation, but this is exactly what headlines of a non-dom press cultivate. They pretend to have your interest at heart but their hearts are blackened soulless organs of hate.

No country has ever left the European Union (EU) except Britain.
Anyone saying that Brexit can work has sold their souls to populism.
Ireland is the biggest beneficiary of the €5.37 billion Brexit Adjustment Reserve which was created to support regions and sectors worst affected by Brexit. In Dec 2021, the European Commission adopted a decision to allocate a total of €920.4 million from the Reserve to Ireland

Mohammed bin Salman, "Neom will have a lot of ports, some of which will be on Saudi territory, with others in Egypt, that will also provide benefits to the other countries of the GCC, as well as Jordan, Egypt, and lots of places in the world.” Wake up UK.
Charter cities are about exiting democracy, Brexit is far more than leaving the EU, it entails the reconfiguration of the UK by carving up entire regions into patchworks of competing sovereignties. Sunak's Freeports and SEZs will fall under corporate laws.
Be under no doubt that Sunak is emulating NEOM with his Freeports and investment zones, carving up the UK into patchworks of corporate sovereignty beyond Govt reach.
