Silent Coup: if corporations overthrow democracy is that why they’re cosying up to Labour?
I couldn’t find the 10-minute clip mentioned in the ‘X’ post below, and may have to buy the book. There are features of more than an hour on YouTube but I didn’t want to put you off.
Take a look at this:
Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy: @kennardmatt explains in a 10 minute video why we pay tax and they don't, wars & how the system traps developing nations into exploitative relationships with some of the world’s biggest corporations.

The clip above has hit ‘X’ at a time when corporations are inveigling themselves into the Labour Party via advisers and lobbyists and an extraordinary rate.
The reason: to influence the decisions made by Keir Starmer and his cronies – to corrupt them, if they aren’t corrupt enough already.
What you’re witnessing with Labour right now — in real time — is the corrupting effect corporate & vested interests have on the two major parties. Miles ahead in the polls but ditching progressive policies that have overwhelming public support. There is no electoral logic to this

For This Writer, that would be a good enough reason not to throw your vote away on a Labour Party that flat-out refuses to represent your interests or the good of the UK as a whole.
Allow me to repeat:
You simply cannot vote tribally – for the party you think represents you (none of them do; they’re all about enriching their MPs and nothing else) – at the next general election.
Instead – and I cannot stress this strongly enough – if you want your vote to mean anything, you have to actually find out what the candidates in your constituency are planning to do, if they are lucky enough to be elected.
That is what party manifestos are for. Independent candidates also have policy documents and they will all be online for you to find and read.
You need to find and read these policy documents, and then you need to make a dispassionate choice, based on what you have read.
Which of the candidates offers the most policies that fit what you need? And, by that, I mean: who will improve your own life the most?
Do not consider how other people will vote, either in your constituency or the other 649 around the UK. That is not your concern.
It is not for you to worry about which party will get enough votes to actually enact its policies. This will lead you down the usual garden path to voting in a government that won’t do anything at all for the good of the country, like the one we’ve had since 2010.
BE SELFISH. Bizarrely, it might be the only way to get the kind of government that all of us need.

Ninny?
I couldn’t bring the video up either, but if you click on the ‘Watch on X’ box in the top right-hand corner of black & white photo of man then a video comes up. It’s only 2 minutes long, not 10 minutes, which confused me. But maybe that 10 minutes mentioned in tweet is a typo?
