Not sure why Reform announcing they’ll scrap the Equality Act 2010 hasn’t provoked widespread alarm. They want to torch our human rights framework AND repeal our right to protection from discrimination. A smile and a shrug on BBC News. What the hell? FFS, media. Tell people what this really means.

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Ofwat PROPOSES £11m fine on Wessex Water for wastewater failures. Company has 47+ criminal convictions, fleeced customers for yrs, allowed to negotiate fines. No fines on execs Water industry is a prime example of rentier economy controlled by criminals. 1,135+ criminal convictions.

The first thing we should Renationalise is the Government. MPs should not receive a penny from any 'donors', they should work only for you.

UK banking industry opposes tax rises, says it pays tax at the rate of 46.4%, and last year paid £43.3bn. Absolute lie. At best banks paid £23.1bn, corporation tax was only £8.8bn. Banks silent on public subsidies they get. Tax banks. End their subsidies

Food profits have increased more than 30% in Europe since 2021. While in the US/UK they have increased nearly 200%. There is no 'inflation' only profiteering.

PR Hype. Water firms in England could face harsher sewage fines. Firms still pay dividends, mega exec pay Fines have been virtually abolished. Amounts handed back to firms for environmental improvements. They displace investment, improve balance sheet. Must remove the profit motive. Nationalise.

Strange that Kemi Badenoch only manages to find her voice on grooming gangs now, after being an MP for 8 years, including time as Minister For Children & Families then Minister for Women and Equalities.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract. The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Today is the 89th anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street when the people of the East End of London halted the march of Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts through Stepney.

Any fool blithely saying they’ve now had a bit of a think about the ECHR and we should leave - is part of why we’re now stuck in the mess of Brexit, being told by the far right to hand our human rights over to them to administer. FFS people. Have you learned nothing from the last decade of failure?

Right wing coup in the UK. The state became guarantor of corporate profits Publicly-owned industries privatised at low prices. Public services outsourced, exorbitant prices. Private finance initiative. Tiny investment, huge returns. Bailouts - banks can't go bust. Licence to misbehave.

"Cunliffe report won’t make one atom of the UK’s water any cleaner” Feargal Sharkey www.thetimes.com/uk/environme...

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Water companies say they're putting billions in" Feargal Sharkey, "They took £84 billion in dividends and created £74 billion of debt.. We've been cheated" "There is no pollution control in this country anyone, the companies are out of control"

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs. So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.

We were born on a planet abundant enough for everyone to thrive… But the rich and powerful carved it up, waged war on what they couldn’t own, called it scarcity …and sold us the illusion that we must compete for crumbs.

Tesco's chief executive, Ken Murphy, was paid 431 times more than a typical Tesco worker. They said: “We remain committed to a competitive and fair reward package for all colleagues." Sorry - what???

2016 - 2023: 3m UK workers denied the minimum wage. 2008 - 2023: 21 employers prosecuted for underpaying the min wage, an additional case accepting a caution. No criminal prosecutions. No director personally fined. What if workers violate laws? Govts soft on corporate abuses.

From today Michael Gove will disgrace the House of Lords. I have described him in sworn evidence as a "deliberate and disgraceful liar". goodlawproject.org/covid-inquir...

When govts stop panicking and announcing policy to “challenge” Nigel effing Farage, we may stand a chance of fixing the mess that Nigel effing Farage helped to make. Until then, we will stay stuck in this populist dead end, loudly blowing our dog whistle at the world and wondering why nothing works.

You are being forced to pay the Water Companies billions more pounds a year. But they are just stealing all your money. Why will no one stop them?

No mother or child should die from a preventable cause. No generation should live in fear of deadly infectious diseases. And no one should be denied the chance to thrive because of where they were born. gatesnot.es/4m5pSc3

80 years ago fascism surrendered in Europe, leaving a legacy of 85 million dead and industrialised genocide. We must never forget that fight, its costs, or the failure of appeasement. It remains our responsibility today to defeat fascism wherever it arises.

£29 million = a brand new sewage works in Denmark. £453 million = an upgrade to existing works in in Oxford. We're paying for it through our bills, so where's all this money going?

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

#VoteGreen today! We might not have any elections here in Birmingham today, but to everyone who CAN vote - PLEASE do so. Vote as if your kids are asking you in 20 years time "you knew about the #ClimateCrisis and you STILL didn't vote for @greenparty.org.uk?!"

Nearly a decade on. Not one single benefit. Not one single piece of Brexit good news. Just damage, disadvantage and now death… I don’t know how this is remotely sustainable as an idea and it’s sickening that those who peddled this godalmighty mess are protected from being held to account for it.

Thames Water, with 187 criminal convictions, never recovered from previous private equity ownership. Shareholders now want to hand TW to KKR, another private equity group, Its business model is profiteering, high debt, low investment, asset-stripping. More abuses inevitable. archive.ph/7tRgo

The crazy thing about humans is this: We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth. The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first. That’s it. The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice. Greed is holding us back.

In defending Rishi Sunak's non-disclosure of his financial interests, in appointing a Covid Corruption Commissioner in name only, and in arguing against the public interest in transparency, the Cabinet Office is a leopard which hasn't changed its spots. And you really ought to ask, 'why?'

Indeed …. What could possibly go wrong ????

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

Why is Government so lacking in imagination? Ok, we need to boost defence spending, but we're wasting a jaw-dropping £268 billion every year by allowing big food companies to aggressively market ultra-processed food at people—which also damages nature. Gov is failing us.

For goodness sake or the sake of humanity please just say the world has changed we need to increase Taxes The UK is already one of the worse countries for caring for the least well off & those that require support due to ill health @teamlabouruk.bsky.social has lost its grip on reality

We all new wankstaine’s like this at school. They used to hang on to the coattail of the school bully, and go into hiding if the bully had a day off. Put him in Zelenskyy’s position and he’d crumble like the coward he is.

Ed Miliband, the secretary of state, has written a strongly worded letter to the regulator asking them for help. You are the secretary of state. You are the government. Why not just nationalise the greedy parasites? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/f...

Very true.

The government is busy - but the work is not being reported. From banning toxic pesticides to funding green jobs, here are 20 things that happened last week.

The media love to say "the government is doing nothing." In reality? The media just aren't reporting it. Here’s a week’s worth of Labour government action you probably didn't hear about. @stephenmcnair.bsky.social reports.

Every penny the Government is giving the Water Companies in their 44% increase in bills above inflation over the next 5 years could be spent on nationalising them. Instead it is billions more poured down the drain of their profits with nothing for you except huge extra cost.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
