Three years of a progressive Tory government being washed down the drain. Levelling up, dumped. Social care reform, dumped. Keeping young and vulnerable people safe online, watered down. A bonfire of EU leg, not happening. Sale of C4 giving back £2b reversed. Replaced with what?

Did anyone hear new Culture Secretary @michelledonelan on @BBCr4today this am? The New Culture secretary seems to be someone who will judge what something is worth by monetary rather than cultural or educational value. I could be wrong? Thoughts...? #SaveChannel4@Channel4News
Here is a concrete, little-known example of how @Channel4 provides value to UK citizens **without costing us any money**, and why privatising the broadcaster will 🚨strip this value away🚨
The year was 2010... 🧵🪡 1/15
...and #savechannel4 ...We do not want more privatisation. It is the wrong direction Liz. Renationalise rail, mail, water ...and stop selling off health
