8 in 10 of us want to ditch privatised water. Support for public ownership is nearly unanimous.

Male life expectancy in Glasgow is also 73, meaning if the pension age were to rise to 74 that the average Glaswegian man wouldn't even claim a state pension. There's massive class injustices in these proposals, including the forms of work we'd be asking folk to do in their 70s.

Anyone who thinks 66 is a reasonable retirement age is either too young to know better or has spent their life in comfort. For the working class, it's a death sentence. Decades of low pay, exhausting hours, failing healthcare, and poor nutrition take their toll. Life expectancy…
"It comes down to a very simple question. Who owns what? Because either you have a health service that looks after you when you're sick, or you've got an investment opportunity for private health care companies, but you cant have both" Eddie Dempsey from the @RMTunion 🎯
NEW POST: Academic, @DrCEJohnston asks who Alternative Provision is really for, and why the current education system is perpetuating a two-tier educational "subsystem" for children who can't thrive in mainstream. specialneedsjungle.com/alternative-pr…
