Here’s a drinking game if you want to stay sober:
Take a drink every time you see someone who’s working class, at a Labour Party conference.
They’ve long time lost their way.

Labour is supposed to help the people they have been actively working against, it’s no surprise he’s wildly unpopular.

Angela Rayner, though of course she sold us out for a fucking flat in Brighton.
Oh that all working class were getting over £150,000 a year plus other benefits and expenses paid, and said to be worth nearly £5million.

The trains were nationalised by the Tory government in 2020, and they also abolished franchising later that year. They also began to set up Great British Railways in 2021.
Steel has not been nationalised. The government has taken over the funding of redundancy payments and retraining for the shut down private sector Tata furnaces in Port Talbot, and has taken steps to force the owners of British Steel to keep the idle furnaces in Scunthorpe burning.
There has also been no nationalisation in the energy sector. Great British Energy is set up as a way to subsidise projects created and run by the private sector and other public bodies. It will not generate, distribute or retail energy.

You need to look up the differences between the Tory rail model and Labour’s. It’s not the same.
Which is a good short term move. They can’t abruptly nationalise it by force immediately without causing a truss-like market panic. The ball is rolling.
Yes it is. GBE is public.
That’s part of the energy sector…
I never said it will…
