  “Austerity and cutbacks in funding for local councils has absolutely led us here, but more than that, it’s been a triumph of ideology. We’ve accepted this ideological assumption that the private sector must be better. But we’re talking about the filthy rich. And it’s the most vulnerable who are paying.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/28/1-in-every-11-spent-uk-public-contractors-private-equity?CMP=share_btn_url

  'Far from being passive fixers in thrall to market economies, as the neoliberal consensus would have it, in reality they are the supreme actors, shapers of markets, arbiters of the economy. They need to start believing they can govern, wield their power without apology, and stop cringing in the face of the bond markets.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/26/make-people-dream-build-economy-common-good-mariana-mazzucato?CMP=share_btn_url

  I call bullshit on this! 'The Market' is a giant, gum'mint sanctioned PONZI Scheme. It no longer provides investment to Industry, and is enormously over valued.

  'They believe that the goal of wealth accumulation replaces morality in their worldview, and morality is just treated as another economic externality, like climate change, which they don't have to take into consideration when forming their judgements...' https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/04/18/trump-vs-the-pope/

  'Trump is too lazy and arrogant to learn about important issues and systematically eliminated anyone who might know better and have the temerity to go toe-to-toe with him to avert disasters. We therefore get a stream of impulsive, illogical, and often counterproductive actions. Trump will never admit errors, so blunders pile on top of each other, making bad situations even worse.' https://open.substack.com/pub/contrarian/p/trumps-blockade-is-another-blunder?utm_source=share&...

  [Neoliberalism] '... reduced people from moral equals to economic actors, stripped public services in the name of efficiency, weakened democratic accountability, and narrowed the boundaries of political thought until Margaret Thatcher's "There Is No Alternative" became conventional wisdom rather than a political choice.' https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/04/08/are-we-going-backwards/

The honest answer is that it does not.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/26/water-privatisation-lethal-scandal-grieving-mother-capitalist-system?CMP=share_btn_url
