The rail, maritime, nurses, border guards, vehicle drivers and transport unions of UK strikes, after unions rejected the pay offers and working conditions.

It’s one of the curious trends of recent years that big business, once considered the enemy of ‘the Left’, is now its greatest proponent; or at least the dominant strain of Leftism, social justice, liberalism.

Silicon Valley is the most extreme example of this, an industry that is young, dynamic and socially liberal; but elsewhere most politically interested billionaires in the West tend to be more liberal than their population, whether it’s Soros Gates or SpaceX Adani funding various social justice causes or other Democracy supporting moguls and gangs.

In contrast, with exception of a few, most billionaires in Muslim world seem to be conservative; this may be one cause of the growing moral chasm between west and the rest.

But political activism by billionaire corporations or technocrats seems to be rather different altogether, and a recent socialist sounding capital phenomenon.
