‘Basics’ of life in Britain have been sold for profit, says Polanski
AI Summary
Green Party leader Zack Polanski is giving a speech at the New Economics Forum in London, criticizing successive UK governments for privatizing essential services. He argues this shift has transformed Britain into a "rip-off Britain" where basic necessities are exploited for profit, leaving many vulnerable to economic shocks. Polanski is calling for increased government support for households facing rising energy prices, proposing £8.4 billion to offset potential £300 increases per household due to the Iran conflict. He advocates for measures like rent controls and water re-nationalization. Since becoming leader six months ago, Polanski has overseen a membership surge for the Green Party, which recently won the Gorton and Denton byelection.
