  1. Gordon Brown are you reading this and hanging your head in shame? Ok a rhetorical question of course he eon’t be.

    ‘ the firm is alleged to have either put off maintenance work or left it undone, meaning that the public will be left to pick up the tab once the Consort contract ends.’

  2. Wie können die deutschen #Wissenschaftsorganisationen im Bereich #KünstlicheIntelligenz noch besser zusammenwirken? Mit dieser Frage hat sich das erste Forum der Pakt-Organisationen im Rahmen des Pakts für Forschung und Innovation #PFI beschäftigt.

    Der Ergebnisbericht, der letzte Woche mit der Gemeinsamen Wissenschaftskonferenz (GWK) diskutiert wurde:

  3. Here's Sophie from WOI with Dr Steve Taylor and John Curtis from Keep Our NHS Public on their blog Not the NHS Again, telling the truth about private finance in the NHS.

    If you care about a publicly funded NHS and ending corporate profiteering in public services, this is essential listening. #nhs #privatefinance #pfi

  4. Because that worked so well with the Hospitals the last time Labour did this 20 years ago?

    A transphobic party that silences dissent and has no new ideas beyond that which the Rich give them ("AI!")

  5. @mjr Huge numbers of hospitals have already been privatised, by #PFI.

    "Streeting can sign a #PFI contract, he can schmooze with #Apartheid contractors, he can pretend to support left-wing policies to secure himself a shadow cabinet platform. These skills look like they come easily to him, and they do"

  8. Get your rocks off Ventnor roads now

    #Ventnor on the #IsleOfWight is a beautiful, unique Victorian #seaside resort much loved by locals and visitors alike.

    Currently six of #Ventnor's #roads are blocked unnecessarily by minor rock debris that take a distressing average of 14 months for #PFI (for profit, contracted #corporation) Island Roads/County Council to clear.

  9. Cyber-Risiken richtig bewerten: Warum Daten nicht gleich Daten sind!
    In vielen Projekten sehe ich eine gefährliche Vereinfachung: „Wir haben personenbezogene Daten, fertig.“ Doch nicht alle personenbezogenen Daten sind gleich – und auch nicht gleich riskant!
    Deshalb lohnt sich ein Blick auf die Unterschiede. #CyberSecurity #Daten #RiskManagement #PII #PFI #PHI #DSGVO

  10. No #PFI in Neighbourhood Health Services

    We demand no “Public Private Partnership” (PFI) to finance Neighbourhood Health Centres

    PFI's led to NHS paying up to 27x over for hospitals. Some #NHS Trusts STILL wasting 13% of their budgets on old PFI deals

    Even the #Conservative government said ‘goodbye to PFI’ because it is bad value for money.

  11. #IsleOfWight councillor: Military Road’s Cliff Waring System failed over decade ago

    She was prompted to act after noticing the flashing cliff warning lights along Military Road have not been operational for years

    She was told that the early warning system installed in 1997 became failed sometime before 2013

    These were never reinstated under the #Highways #PFI contract, it has been revealed.

  12. Tell #Labour - NO PFI in OurNHS!

    Health Secretary #Streeting is deciding to accept #PFI deals from #private #health Corporations

    They want £1 billion to expand their OWN facilities for their #profit

    Research shows PFI deals by Blair’s govt still crippling #OurNHS by £44 billion

    If deal goes ahead, our NHS will waste even more money on #private #profits that should go to caring for patients

    Tell #WesStreeting here

  13. Two senior staff at (friend of Jeffrey Epstein) Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm are behind the Future Governance Forum, an industry-funded think tank that's urging Labour ministers to adopt controversial private finance deals (PFI) to build new schools and hospitals.

  14. "#Labour has shown little sign of changing the current model where critical infrastructure is provided by private firms. Many of these companies have shunned investment for the past three decades, while ramping up dividends, buybacks and executive pay."

  15. The Enforcement Directorate has attached 35 properties worth Rs 56.56 crore belonging to the Popular Front of India under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The investigation reveals PFI's real objectives include creating civil unrest through violent means and providing arms training disguised as Physical Education classes.

  16. #PFI was Tony Blair's second worst mistake, covered up for decades by fixing the accountancy rules. Labour MP Creasy wants full analysis and reporting. Also for #Brexit👇

  17. @JackTheCat #PFI always was a wheeze to shovel huge wads of public money into opaque private financial sector businesses. It never had any other purpose.

    This is standard #Labour "make the ultra-rich even richer" policy. After all, Labour's raison d'etre has always been wealth redistribution, has it not?

  18. 6:15am a #rubbish #truck went down the close near us. It's not #BinDay so I'm not sure what it's collecting. I'm used to being woken up by "this truck is reversing" but as it came back to the #road I got a whole new experience: "this truck is turning left, this truck is...". Perhaps next week it'll be announcing gear changes as well.
    10 min later #dogwalkers were #chatting under the #bedroom #window. Sleep? Fat chance.

  19. In the Financial Times today:

    "Britain’s debt-laden water utilities are being encouraged by the regulator Ofwat to set up new privately financed companies to deliver billions of pounds worth of critical infrastructure such as reservoirs, treatment works and pipelines, which will be paid for through customer bills"

    Outrageous. Nationalise them without compensation and abolish Ofwat, which is totally compromised.

  20. A fmr WH adviser to #Trump 🤣, Kushner stepped away from politics after Trump's term ended in 2021 & founded Miami-based private equity firm Affinity Partners.

    #SaudiArabia government's Public Investment Fund #PFI invested $2B in #JaredKushner's firm, 6 months after #Kushner left the White House.
