Back Biggest Wave of Insourcing in Generation
For 15yrs, people suffered under #Tories ideological drive to #privatise #PublicServices
#Outsourcing came at expense of services & workers who keep them going
Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay committed to ‘bring about the biggest wave of #insourcing of public services in a generation’
As well as improving conditions for users & staff, it would cut down on private sector #waste & deliver better value for us

Unhoused in Australia: "‘A sobering indictment’: 14 homeless people die a year in public parks or countryside in Australia, analysis finds:"
"Between 2010 and 2020, 54 rough sleepers died in public parks, the analysis shows. Eighty-five homeless Australians died in countryside areas – including in bushland, desert, beaches and riverbanks – in the same period...It is a sobering indictment of societal abandonment and systemic failure." >>
