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

How many critical services are tied to abominations like #reCAPTCHA and #SafetyNet API? #Banking, #Healthcare, #eCommerce, #PublicServices, #PublicTransport, #RideHailing and even #WeatherServices. What are the implications of every citizen having to seek permissions from a trillion-dollar MNC to access any of them?
Check out #PRISM to see who Google silently shares this data with. #Google is a serious #state_sponsored #ThreatActor against individuals & national #sovereignty.

Gina Rinehart suddenly deciding taxes are terrible when they touch gas profits is peak billionaire logic. If windfall taxes are “unfair,” maybe the real issue is letting multinational fossil fuel giants pocket our natural wealth while everyone else cops the costs. Tax the windfall, fund public services, and stop pretending “energy security” means corporate security.
The AFR can bang the drum against a gas windfall tax all it likes, but it’s worth remembering its parent company has big shareholders who may benefit from mining and resource profits. That doesn’t prove the argument is wrong, but it does make the billionaire panic look a lot less convincing.

£1.6bn expropriated from the NHS alone by capital.
That's money that could fund public provision.
It's what capitalism does.
It has no place in public services.Private firms providing services to NHS made £1.6bn profit in two years, research finds | NHS | The Guardian

The outrage over NDIS spending always skips the actual history.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme was launched in 2013 under Julia Gillard’s Labor government. It was meant to be a proper nation-building fix for the old, broken, postcode lottery system we had before — a universal, needs-based public scheme instead of relying on charity or state scraps.
But it started going sideways under the Coalition. They pushed hard for a market-driven model: lots of private providers, plan managers, and middlemen instead of strong public delivery.Predictably, that brought:
* extra layers of bureaucracy
* profit margins siphoned off
* wildly inconsistent quality
* and huge cost blowouts that had nothing to do with actual careEven the critics now admit that admin overhead, coordination fees and plan managers are swallowing massive chunks of the money.
Meanwhile the scheme grew faster than anyone planned, because hundreds of thousands of people actually need the support.So when folks blast “Labor spending” on the NDIS, they’re conveniently ignoring two things:
1) This isn’t optional fluff — it’s real people’s lives and daily support.
2) A lot of the structural waste and inefficiency was built in when it was turned into a quasi-market experiment.Now both sides are desperately trying to rein in costs as the bill heads towards $50 billion+ a year.

qwant news | Secretive US tech firm Palantir embedding itself into UK public services
The provided HTML fragment contains only a list of article headlines, by‑lines, and section headings (e.g., “Analysis”, “Trending”, “Global”). It does not include any of the body text for the article titled **“Israel targets Iran’s railway infrastructure, which is registered on UN heritage list.”** Consequently, there is no main article content to extract, and I cannot supply three paragraphs of text that do not exist in the given markup.

@connynasch Yes, unfortunately the #ToryCriminals & #FarageTheTraitor worked with #TrumpTheTraitor & other #MAGATraitors to not only weaken the #UK & #Europe with #Brexit, while helping #PutinTheWarCriminal invasion of #Ukraine, they also systematically sold off parts of our #PublicServices to make themselves richer! 🤬🤬🤬
Some current politicians are still following that playbook, while the rest have started cleaning up the ginormous mess they made! It will take years.....😤

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
The desirable things which the individuals of a people can not do, or can not well do, for themselves, fall into two classes: those which have relation to wrongs, and those which have not. Each of these branch off into an infinite variety of subdivisions. The first — that in relation to wrongs — embraces all crimes, misdemeanors, and non-performance of contracts. The other embraces all which, in its nature, and without wrong, requires combined action, as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage, estates of the deceased, and the machinery of government itself.
From this it appears that if all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
