Prof Catherine Rowett 💚 Ex-MEP @catherinerowett@respublicae.eu

The Green Party has been speaking up for years in favour of keeping essential services out of private profit to ensure regulation is for the sake of customers and the environment, not shareholder profits.
Conservatives have blocked even the basic reforms.

RT by @catherinerowett: I abhor the way the sub postmasters were treated (& did so long before the recent TV drama) but I am concerned that Vennells is being made a sacrificial lamb.

This cannot all have been down to her. Others in the post office, at Fujitsu & in government have questions to answer.

Good news, but this means 88% still haven't realised it's worth their while making things better for them, their employees and their customers?
12% are ahead of the curve.

RT by @catherinerowett: Only way to get PR's to vote for parties who say they'll implement PR. In England & Wales your choice is Greens or Lib Dems. Don't vote Labour hoping they'll bring in PR as while many members support it, the leaders don't & there's no way to make the leaders do what members want!

We need to end this idea that saving bad jobs is somehow a good thing. There are plenty of good jobs that need filling. We do not need to cook the planet for the sake of the workers. What they mean is they want to cook the planet for the sake of the shareholders. 🙄

RT by @catherinerowett: The Post Office scandal shows the power of television and television drama in particular to channel injustice. If there are any TV writers looking for a subject that could do with the same treatment, the cladding/building safety scandal is just waiting for you…

RT by @catherinerowett: It is disgraceful that neither Biden nor Sunak have yet clearly condemned the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza.
They rightly condemned the murder of Israeli civilians on October 7. Why not the ongoing murder of Palestinian civilians?

RT by @catherinerowett: As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.

Very unclear in all these reports whether private landlords are required to make housing habitable, or only social housing associations? What about student housing?

RT by @catherinerowett: "On all five priorities, we have made progress" says Rishi Sunak.

Just entirely untrue. According to the latest figures:

- Debt, which he promised to cut, is up
- Growth, which he promised to increase, has flattened
- NHS waiting lists, which he promised to reduce, have risen

Syria: 12,000 in 11 years
Yemen: 3,700 in 7 years

Ukraine: 520 in 21 months

Palestine: 12,000+ in 3 months.

Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern children?

RT by @catherinerowett: The Tory Party takes huge amounts from ultra-rich donors, returning these favours in the form of £££ government contracts &amp; policies enabling the ultra-wealthy to become even more so.

Upping campaign spending limits allows more money to be spent on re-electing crooks.

2. Treasury is supposed to be independent of the ruling party rather than it's promotional arm. Why are you doing this?
