Why isn't my government in favour of public ownership of water? I don't mince my words answering this and many of your most pressing questions on water. Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=s3Lb... Support the campaign: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

@pimlicat.bsky.social: “Rachel Reeves is completely correct to highlight the long-term damage of Brexit." "Our polling shows a majority of voters view Brexit as a failure for the country, and expect ministers to work with the EU to find a way to fix the damage." https://bit.ly/4oh7WLH

This is a failure of democracy. 82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision. Now we’re stuck bailing water companies out for decades of recklessness. We need a new water system where everyone has a say. www.theguardian.com/money/2024/d...

Support our call for an inquiry on our future relationship with Europe. "Tinkering around the edges of hard Brexit will not deliver for the British people. We need bold, clear, and informed action."

New report by @CompassOffice reveals 40% of Labour voters don't identify as a supporter of the party. The way for Labour to win a second term is not to lean to the right, but to be progressive and pluralist: www.compassonline.org.uk/publications...

“Obviously there will be no return to freedom of movement, the customs union or the single market” says Keir Starmer at #PMQs In other news the OBR report the Gov’t keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15%

In a significant Intervention Bank of England governor said this week that Brexit has undermined the UK economy. @skynews.com.web.brid.gy didn’t think that was important enough to raise with the Government Minister this morning. I disagree. If you do too share this report youtu.be/jvo1JM6xZqQ?...

The heartbreaking BBCNews report that schoolchildren from struggling families are pretending to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food is exactly why we should all join @bigissue in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW👇

Trump's trade tariffs will force a choice for the UK: Trump or Europe. Let's choose Europe.

@richardcorbett.bsky.social "The #bbc programme #ImmigrationHowBritishPoliticsFailed ignores yet again that: - most migration to Britain was (and is) from OUTSIDE the EU - EU freedom of movement is conditional on finding a job or being self sufficient (which the Cameron govt didn’t enforce)

🔴The Elephant in the Room is that Brexit Has Made Britain a Much Poorer Place The unspoken truth of Rachel Reeves’ Budget was that leaving the EU has left Britain permanently worse off, writes @adambienkov.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2024/10/30/b...

Spain’s economy minister at G20 urges world’s richest countries to “be brave” & redouble efforts to reach an agreement on a global minimum tax on the world’s 3,000 billionaires, saying recent elections have shown citizens are demanding “redistribution of wealth” www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...

Without trade unions & the workers willing to back them we wouldn’t have • a minimum wage • maternity & paternity rights • pension provision • holiday & sickness entitlements victories which have benefited every single person in this country tuc.org.uk/joinunion

In a crowded field, woke may now be the single most meaningless word in the modern lexicon. Its usage long ago departed the realm of sanity into some kind of lunatic deepspace.

Rachel Reeves said in 2018: "I firmly believe that membership of the customs union & the single market is the best way of protecting jobs & growth & providing a stable platform from which Labour can build its new economic settlement." She was right. Now she has the opportunity to deliver. Will she?

#Brexit... The greatest con ever pulled on the UK public. We essentially imposed economic sanctions against ourselves, yet by adding #immigration into the equation, millions STILL fell for it & voted for #Farage. #UnFuckinBeLIEvable 🙄

💬 "The prime minister faces a blank page where Britain’s role in the world must be written. The policy of not daring to name the problem has failed to deliver workable solutions." Rafael Behr for the Guardian on Trump, Starmer and Europe

Word of the day: kleptocracy, a society or system ruled by people who use their power to steal their country's resources.
