😠From today's FT: quarter of the UK’s privatised water companies underspent their investment allowances between 2010 and 2025. THEY'RE SITTING ON YOUR MONEY, AND RIPPING YOU OFF. No delays, no half measures, no decade-long waits for things to change - we need water in public ownership now.

No, I don't agree with government. Taking scarce water supplies for data centres is not the same as for homes, or food-growing, or looking after nature

How about curbing misinformation during planetary emergencies?

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... Proof, as if it were needed, that Starmer's measures to restrict political donations taken this far are hopelessly weak. Ban all crypto, limit individual and corporate donations to parties to £5K regardless of location of door. It's really pretty simple.

Nobody should.

Would you prefer: 1. Migration down to zero? OR: 2. Functioning public services, a growing economy, pensions being contributed to, taxes being paid, universities staying afloat, care homes staffed and the NHS not collapsing into a smoking crater? One or the other - you can’t have both.

For more reasons why, the below remains pertinent:

Now time to get Palantir out of the NHS and out of the UK.

Sorry for the plug but I feel obliged to reshare this. Farage told a podcast before running for election: “There’s no money in politics, there’s no money if you’re straight [i.e. not corrupt]." Around the time he got £5 million from a crypto billionaire before going on to back crypto deregulation.

The economic plan put in place by Rachel Reeves to raise investment and cut the deficit is working. - start of 2026 was fastest GDP/capita growth in 4yrs - Q1 GDP growth fastest of 6 G7 nations we have data for - UK has seen the fastest investment growth in G7 since election

There is nothing wrong with data being shared across NHS A single patient record is a good thing What is not good is Palantir being anywhere near it GPs are currently data controllers (protectors) & want to protect patients Govt wants to ‘force’ this No to Palantir in #NHS

Water is a natural monopoly There is no competition There is no choice There is no market The privatised water companies have carte blanche to rip us off, we are a guaranteed revenue stream Bring water into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP - we can't afford not to 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeqr...

Everything can be afforded we will just have far fewer disgustingly rich people. And that too will be a brilliant thing.

“The right to trial by jury is an important factor in the delicate balance between the power of the state and the freedom of the individual. The further it’s restricted, the greater the imbalance” Those were the words of Keir Starmer. Now he plans to restrict them

🚨 “This is not North Korea we’re talking about - its state sponsored torture in THIS country - happening right now” youtu.be/-Uo6dXX2oeg?...

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create. Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable. James Dyson is a scumbag.

And yet we are being constantly exposed to COVID, especially the children in the UK. Under 12s have no vaccine access & most schools have no #cleanair beingpatient.com/could-long-c...

Excellent to see the Government commissioning fresh research into mapping and expanding Britain's temperate rainforests! Back in 2023 the Government promised to invest £750k in researching temperate rainforest. This now goes some way towards that: www.forestresearch.gov.uk/research/map...

This week we’ve had lawyers for GB News warning us that they are watching us closely. Which is fine, because they know damn well we’re watching them too. Alan Rusbridger’s investigation into their persistent breaches of Ofcom’s code on impartiality and accuracy has got them rattled. #TheNewWorld

Who owns England? Answering this question just became government policy. I spoke to Hannah Marsh about 10 years of campaigning for land ownership transparency, recent wins to open up the Land Registry - and how people can help get this over the line: wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/news/who-own...

GPs are Local The Local elections need to be focused on Local issues 31million people consult GP practices every month, half the population #TeamGP time to get the message out Can’t see a GP blame MPs

Please read this, understand what the govt is doing & take action. Labour's immigration proposals swap integration for segregation, introduce a Dubai-style Kafala system of coercive employer control & drive low-income families into poverty. They're an abomination. open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

The truth about Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore and how they were directly working for the Russia state in their work for the Brexit leave campaign. Farage is deeply involved via his association with Banks and in IMO, this makes all three of them traitors to the UK pdjukes.substack.com/p/you-spoil-...

We were told schools were safe. Teachers did their best to scrub tables and it’s clear from the evidence the government knew from day 1 that it was a predominantly airborne virus. Over 520 teachers and 200 children have died in the UK so far. 🧵

In @arusbridger.bsky.social’s latest column, he examines whether GB News has become the Fox News of the UK—and, if so, he asks why the regulator Ofcom hasn’t stepped in. Read it here: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/... Or preview 🧵 below... 1/6

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170M building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night. Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

Nigel Farage went to Dubai and Qatar to ask the billionaires there to fund Reform. These are the people he is selling the UK off to. Foreign billionaires. He loves immigrants so long as they are rich.

Most of the media reflects neither reality nor public opinion. It reflects the views and demands of those who own it: the Oligarch Class. They employ editors and journalists to channel their demands and sell their fictions. Hence the endless attacks on net zero. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As mote high-profile #Labour politicians are speaking out in favour of repairing our relationship with #Europe, the case for closer cooperation is becoming impossible to ignore. The support is clear, now, it's time for the Government to act. #RejoinEU @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

Reform UK really do inspire community action in the most unexpected ways.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 So the farright male melts are having a bout of correctile disfunction over what young Hannah the new Green MP wore to give her maiden speech In Parliament. So let’s take a look at what Nigel Farage was wearing in Parliament on that same day …..

😡🔥😡🔥😡🔥😡🔥😡🔥 Reform UK are directly channelling a Nazi trope … and as usual, it goes under the radar . You tchk and shake your head …. while hundreds of Farage’s supporters nod in agreement And feel emboldened to verbally abuse and beat up “Immigrants’.

Days after Andrew Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office Peter Mandelson has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office Are the authorities looking into that time Boris Johnson ditched his security to party in Italy?

It says much about the state of the country.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

Government deals with Palantir stink, and stank long before the Peter Mandelson scandal. The government must pivot away from companies like Palantir.

More reasons to be concerned about Palantir…

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face

Right: Nigel Farage an Nathan Gill spent the past 26 years badmouthing the European Union, then driving Brexit. Turns out one of the was being paid by Russia to do; hiding his allegiance to Putin behind a Union Jack

Former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi defects to Reform after begging Tories for peerage. Backed Liz Truss and involved in numerous scandals - claimed cost of heating stables on private estate as MP expense, later repaid; tax shenanigans, breaches of ministerial codes, Must feel at home with Reform.
