London Stock Exchange CEO pay rises from £6.25m to more than £13m. No link to corporate performance - companies are fleeing UK. Govt preaches real wage cuts to workers, but no curbs on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks, profiteering. It is class war. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
Post Office’s first reaction to the suicide of a sub-postmaster it accused of stealing was to hire a media lawyer to protect its “brand reputation”. Widow silenced by a non-disclosure agreement to get phased compensation. Not an ounce of humanity. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Bank accounts of millions of individuals, landlords, charities, voluntary organisations, companies will be 24/7 snooped on by the UK govt. You won't be told, can't appeal against it, will have no say in how the information will be used. Fascism is here. leftfootforward.org/2024/04/the-go…
How overseas owners of water companies clean up by polluting our rivers. £78bn+ dividends since 1989, 360% hike in bills, no new reservoirs, sewage dumped, trillion litres of water lost to leaks. Shareholders only want profits End the scam. Nationalise theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Rishi Sunak presiding over the least transparent govt for 25 years. FOI requested information released fully for only 34% of requests in 2023. The same contempt shown for parliament. Too many questions not answered. Secrecy breeds corruption. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
Sunak ordered to disclose dealings with former hedge fund over lucrative Moderna investment. Sunak refuses to say whether he profited personally from Theleme Partners, which invested in Moderna before the UK govt rolled Covid vaccines. leftfootforward.org/2024/04/rishi-…
Former Post Office (PO) executive gave ‘false’ evidence at high court in 2018 about Horizon IT system flaws, inquiry hears. She can't recall the 2010, 2011, 2014 emails telling her about the flaws. No PO exec charged with wrongdoing. Will they ever be? theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
Ryanair boss says he would ‘happily’ fly asylum seekers to Rwanda. How many people would want to use an airline profiting from human trafficking? independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Just 60 firms are responsible for half of world’s plastic pollution. Philip Morris International, Danone, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are worst offenders. Ban their products. Hit them with extra taxes to fund recycling and cleaning theguardian.com/environment/20…
World’s billionaires should pay minimum 2% wealth tax, say G20 ministers. Billionaires have the lowest effective tax rate of any social group. Can deliver £250bn a year extra to fight poverty, climate crisis. Now watch UK govt oppose it. theguardian.com/inequality/202…
Former Post Office 'Complaints handler' executive who 'misled' previous Post Office judges says "I didn't knowingly do anything wrong". Blames Fujistsu and others. She presided over most of the prosecutions of innocent people, for fat pay and bonuses. news.sky.com/story/post-off…
Post Office scandal extends 'greatly beyond Horizon' - victims' lawyer. Internal document reported problems with ATM machines, bank giro payments, pension payments, lottery tickets, DVLA processing; innocents prosecuted. Whole edifice was rotten/corrupt. news.sky.com/story/post-off…
Tory Govt imposed a duty on the water regulator to prioritise growth. Profits prioritised over customer bills, sewage disposal and plugging leaks. Further weakens regulator ability to curb predatory practices. Regulatory system is unfit for purpose. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Some banks unable to quantify their exposure to private equity. Playing with fire. FCA asleep. Govt deregulating. Will reduce capital requirement for banks. Regulators forced to promote competitiveness, conflicts with the need to protect people/system. archive.ph/2024.04.23-173…

@premnsikka This is the 6th year since I made the decision to stop flying RyanAir. Looks like I'm just getting started.
@premnsikka So currently when you reach your 66th birthday you become a fraud suspect.
@premnsikka Have already seen right wing idiots saying "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to worry about" - completely missing the point 🙄
@premnsikka Renationalisation should mean taking everything back into public hands, not just bits and pieces.
@premnsikka TBF I already don’t fly Ryanair because O’Leary is an a55hole, but this gives me another reason to avoid them.
@premnsikka I think we might have finally found a deterrent for asylum seekers. The prospect of a @Ryanair flight!!
@premnsikka @EuropeanPowell And then there's this x.com/uklabour/statu…
@premnsikka A bee on a flower in our garden with pollen on legs. Taken last month. Against a galvanised steel fence that makes a nice background.
@premnsikka A small correction … ‘Must align state pension & personal allowance with minimum living wage.’ The minimum wage should be one that enables one to live without using food banks or begging for charity, I read the UK is the 5th biggest economy in the world.
I seem to remember someone (or more than one person) warning of the dangers of UK banks' (and thus UK's economy's) exposure to unregulated private equity many years ago. I can't guarantee it but these warning might even have come from @premnsikka
Private Equity will crash the economy. UK banks are leaving themselves open to “severe, unexpected losses”, by failing to properly measure how exposed they are to the $8tn private equity industry, says Bank of England. Must regulate PE. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
@premnsikka Especially if you are on the ‘old’ pension! £200 a month worse off!
@premnsikka 40% of UK pensioners abroad get no increases for inflation as they chose the 'wrong' country. They risk poverty despite fulfilling their NIC obligations. To #endfrozenpensions in 2025 would cost 3p in each £100 DWP spends on pensions @RishiSunak @MelJStride @PaulMaynardUK…
@premnsikka Something as essential as water should not be in private ownership, it encourages extreme greed
@premnsikka Life expectancy in the UK is now 4 years less than would be expected from the 1980 to 2010 trend and it's taken the 'premature' deaths of 1 million+ people between 2010 & 2022, to achieve such a result.
“Rewards for serving corporations” Second jobs must not be allowed. Five jobs should get you in jail (imo).
Outgoing Tory MPs take lucrative second jobs, ‘swan off on jollies’. For part-time work: 34 MPs, £2.5m; 11 MPs £100,000 each; Sajid Javid, £321,000; Kwasi Kwarteng £98,600; Dominic Raab, £118,000. Millions more to come. Rewards for serving corporations. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
@premnsikka Our spending is so high with outsourcing and the buying in of agency staff. We need to accept now privatisation by the back door is the root of the NHS's problems.
