Pedestriansfirst“‘Privatisation premium’: billions from UK energy bills paid to shareholders. Analysis reveals sum equal to 24.2% of average bill taken as pre-tax profits by the major energy industries last year, rather than being reinvested. UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.” And why is Choo Choo #Portillo partly responsible for this robbery not in prison? #Privatisation
“UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation. Analysis reveals ‘privatisation premium’ of £250 per household per year paid to owners of water, rail, bus, energy and mail services since 2010.” And yet #Portillo who is part responsible for this mess is all over our TV like a rash. The rewards of failure. #Privatisation
Moritz Kleine-Sendrail 🇺🇦Punctual departure and a 15min underground ride through the Zaragoza stations of #Portillo, Goya and #Miraflores. Out of the tunnel into the Ebro plain towards Huesca. UIC electrified single track next to us, used by (few) #AVE through services to #Huesca. The train is pretty full, about 40 people in my carriage, so maybe 80 in total.
Ramesh #NotGoingBack>> Just think, the new #Pope has probably been to #Portillo’s. Wild. #chicago
Reminds me of the scene from #SisterAct with nuns enjoying icecream with the character played by #WhoopiGoldberg
David Palk#RejoinEU 💖🇪🇺🕊🌈#UKPol #lunatics #asylum #starmer The #economic recovery is going to centre on theme parks. Lewis Carrol couldn't have dreamed this up. Not only a #LINO but an eejit too! Check the photo, far left, WTF is he doing there? A Tory Grandee no less #Portillo . #Rachel from accounts looks like a middle aged groupie to boot. Yeuch.

NotAMorningPerson (Richard)Watching Michael Portillo filming something at the Shrewsbury Battlefield. Making me think of the phrase " #Portillo moment" which I hope we'll see repeated for many Tory MPs soon.
Christie Elan-CaneLoathsome #Leadsom the latest #Tory to quit. How many is that since #GeneralElection4thJuly announced? All losing seats anyway so why go through six weeks of humiliation? Gravy train about to end. Except for #Truss who will delight us with the best #Portillo moment on the night.
