Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

Water company payments are ‘get out of jail card’, says Feargal Sharkey

Anyone voting Reform is knowingly voting for corrupt racists who’ll make all of us poorer and less protected, remove our rights, privatise our NHS, increase fossil fuel dependency, shove children into poverty and threaten our communities… Don’t expect to be forgiven. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

“Its really important that we as a government keep our focus on the cost of living" says Keir Starmer as millions head to the polls tomorrow

#reform #grifternomics the media made reform. And reform is out of control www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The UK has endured 10 years of self-inflicted financial damage, business failure, lost opportunity, families divided, all because Cameron couldn't be arsed to make the positive case of continued EU membership. Self-serving grifters like Johnson & Farage, trousered a fortune while fucking the UK.

Brexit may prevent UK trial for Madeleine murder suspect bit.ly/4tRj7y9

In threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy - its shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters. What does the Electoral Commission say about this?

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT youtu.be/A6fCl-uOEVY?...

Nigel Farage wants to take the country out of the European Convention on Human Rights The ECHR protects us all - It grants our right to protest, our right to privacy, our right to fair trials and so much more. Whatever you do on May 7 JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM

Reform pledges to open migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas. Reform using politics of revenge on areas that do not support it, a policy that would not withstand a legal challenge. Will they replace judges too to get their way? Kangaroo courts, lawlessness and anarchy await.

A majority of Brits would vote to reverse Brexit, a new poll finds, as Keir Starmer presses for closer ties with Brussels www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but .. “seven in 10 Americans said Trump was not honest and trustworthy, while about six in 10 said he did not have the mental sharpness to serve as president” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 185 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

Since retaking office, Trump's net worth has nearly tripled to $6.5B. Almost all of that has come from his crypto ventures — an industry he's deregulated at our collective risk to line his own pockets. We must not become numb to this corruption.

Just deleted my Facebook account. Not sure why I haven’t done it before, as haven’t used it for over a year. A small thing, but it feels liberating 🙂

@almurray.bsky.social An absolutely brilliant evening at the Bristol Beacon tonight. Thank you Guv.

European Movement UK's Co-President, Caroline Lucas, speaks the truth. It was an enormous act of self-sabotage to cut our ties with the largest trading bloc in the world right on our doorstep. It's time we fix that.

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social They all, US - China - Russia, dislike a collective European Union: www.rte.ie/news/busines...

If there's any truth in the stories about Labour MP's plotting to oust Starmer those MP's are naive. The media want Starmer out not because they prefer Burnham or Rayner but because they don't want a Labour government. The minute Starmer goes the call for a GE will be relentless, don't play along.

Octopus Energy boss: some people would accept blackouts if bills cut Argues against costly investments in the UK’s power grid. Does he know what havoc blackouts would cause? People would accept end to profiteering. Nationalise energy so that profits go to infrastructure, not shareholders.

Some very very good news “Solar capacity increased by 11.7% over the past year, adding 2.3 GW of clean, homegrown electricity to Britain’s energy mix.”

Still trying to discredit the 2020 election results, and it’s all utter B.S., never an ounce of proof six years later, but he repeats, repeats, and relentlessly repeats the big lie until maybe someone believes it, such a flimsy & disqualifying strategy, constantly grating at all our nerves…

I thought the tariffs were illegal

Brilliant from @carolinelucas.bsky.social on Farage’s failed Brexit experiment 👏 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/01/n...

UK has one of the LOWEST pensions in Europe Of course that means nothing to multi millionaires like Blair

The Trump regime is pushing for a new rule that could strip as many as 400,000 low-income adults with disabilities of hundreds of dollars per month in assistance. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress just introduced a plan to use taxpayer money to fund Trump's vanity ballroom. Do I have this right?

They are painting a target on Starmer for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING And when you think about it... Everything? That's irrational.

Imagine the thrill of a lifetime in going all the way to the moon... And then coming back and being forced to meet with this piece of trash.

Reminder that Amazon... -Helps fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1M to Trump's inauguration -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $75M for the Melania movie And now wants to reboot The Apprentice — with Don Jr as host. Still shopping on Amazon?

Why are these people giving Farage so much money?

“I’m very much on my own and will be for the rest of my life, and I have to face up to that grim reality. Christopher is an ardent supporter who is deeply concerned for my safety” Oh jeezus. What a load of whimpering tosh. You’re corrupt, Farage. And your rich bezzie, Harborne, is buying you power.

British ad firm WPP’s $1.5bn greenwash of US oil industry. Helped ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP use “deceptive and misleading” communications strategies to thwart policies to tackle the climate crisis, "dangerously misleading advertising". Anything advertising industry won't lie about for money?

“We don’t understand how our perfectly sane policy of handing guns to anyone who wants them can lead to gun-related incidents like this one” says NRA From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Reform said they wanted to recruit Tories with experience of government… Dodgy Bob Jenrick is now Reform’s Treasury spokesperson. Foreign donations (aka bribes) roll in and Farage is investing millions in Kwasi Kwarteng’s crypto con. Reform is pathologically corrupt. www.ft.com/content/8403...

More bollocks from SkyNews: 'King state visit Day 1: Behind smiles lies serious diplomatic mission' In fact behind the fake smiles lies a serious blunder to have ever embarked on such a mission. Stop appeasing the warmonger.

Release the files NOW!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

Another assassination attempt to distract from the Iran war, that was started to distract from the Epstein files.

The U.S. Mint is legally required to sell only domestically mined gold. But a New York Times investigation has found that the Mint buys gold that comes from foreign pawn shops and drug cartels, then claims it is American. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/26/w...

'Being British' is just the sort of debate Farage wants. Don't go there. The question, which he won't expect, should be "do you want to reverse Brexit to fix our economy & decrease illegal immigration?" Force Farage onto the back foot. Make him defend Brexit or admit it's an ongoing disaster.

I know my 78 yrs dad will vote for reform. He's in Lincoln these days, surrounded by people who blame 'starmer' for the clouds being the wrong shape. I told him I loved him as he drove off & said 'but not everything is Starmers fault dad. Something's perhaps, but Farage isn't going to solve them'
