Militant Book-keeping

Although Team Starmer has made abundantly clear that the only problem with private profiteering in the public sector is that there isn't quite enough of it yet, dissent is already brewing over, of all things, keeping track of the money thrown at the private sector on behalf of the grateful taxpayer. The Blair administration's PFI boondoggle was intended for no other purpose than to funnel public cash into private coffers, yet at least one back-bencher seems to believe that some sort of accounting, if not actual accountability, ought to be in place. She does not go quite so far as to blaspheme the national religion by suggesting that cuts should be made to private profits rather than public services, so a suspension for antisemitism appears as yet unlikely.
