All UK public services are under threat of privatisation as the uniparty introduces mega-councils
Metro Mayors will basically have powers akin to CEOs.
The duopoly colluded to set their libertarian carve-out-exit project in motion the moment the UK left the EU.
This is the uniparty's US inflected neoliberal ideology in full corporate onslaught. Their goal is to abolish big govt and hand over powers to corporations under 'localised freedoms' in 74 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and 12 Freeports where companies can 'self-regulate'...just like the privatised water companies did.
All UK public services are under threat of privatisation with these stealth manoeuvres by Cons and Labour.
What do you think happens to economies outside the SEZs? They will collapse trying to sustain their own level playing field, and very quickly adopt the corporate political model of governance.
SEZs are expansionary by nature, they are corporate playgrounds for private equity to absorb the public sector by 'rescuing it from democracy'. Step up Blackrock, PEEL Group, DP World, Chevron, Quadrature, Blackstone, ARUP, right-wing think tanks, Gary Lubner, Labour Together, Labour Friends of Israel, Donald Trump, ATLAS and the Network of Liberty.
The public doesn't know anything about SEZs because the MSM are owned by the same companies who are being subsidised for the corporate coup. The complexity of SEZs is their camouflage.
Your taxes are paying for the installation of 86 free zones.
Each SEZ receives £160 million in State aid which is public money multiplied by 74 = £11 billion 840 million
Each Freeport receives £25 million multiplied by 12 = £300 million Teesside Freeport/SEZ has spent over £560 million of taxpayers money so far, profit share is 9/10 in favour of the private sector.
Rinse and repeat across 86 deregulated Free zones. Jeremy Hunt set the corporate tax breaks for 10 years while licensing the free zones for 25 years. Know that companies are already pushing to extend the corporate tax breaks beyond the deadlines.
As scores of councils across England face bankruptcy, Starmer has announced more SEZs and more deregulation to come, along with the dismantling of smaller local councils by merging them into mega-councils, this is the equivalent of classroom sizes doubling their student/pupil intakes, meaning less focus on individuals who need extra help. Metro Mayors will basically have powers akin to CEOs.
Shocking
