Ofwat £22m fine proposal for South East Water for repeated supply failures. "Proposal" = companies with criminal convictions negotiate, may never pay. Thames Water to pay 2024 fines by 2030 or never. 2024 fines on Yorkshire and Northumbrian Water quietly waived. Execs never fined or prosecuted.

My congressman is a warmonger.

The future of Oxford Street starts here 🗺️ By the end of summer, the heart of the West End (Orchard St to Great Portland St) becomes a traffic-free zone. No vehicles, no pedicabs, just a world-class destination for Londoners. Take a look at the first phase of the transformation:

Badenoch followed PMQs with a shocker of a performance on BBC Today this morning - arrogant, shrill, tin-eared & ignorant of history. Long may she remain Tory leader... She's not the worst in living memory only because of Truss but she's close. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Your regular reminder that there is a petition to launch Chris Mason into the stratosphere & it needs more signatures.... c.org/dkgsCPNkYv

Poll: Reform UK is most disliked party in Britain

@privateeyenews.bsky.social - just about the last bastion of independent investigative journalism left in the UK & their satire is a bright spot in our grim world of humourless ghouls like Putin, Netanyahu & Trump. The annual subscription is a bargain.

Saw this brilliant show last week at the RSC's Swan Theatre. Until 28 Mar then transferring to Soho Place in London from 25 Apr - 18 Jul 2026. If you get the chance to see it, go! www.rsc.org.uk/the-boy-who-...

A major problem for Trump is that the novelty value has worn off - and he's revealed as (to quote from Martin McDonagh's play Cripple of Inishmaan) 'a boring oul fecker and there's plenty of competition for that title'. His constant need to be top of the news cycle is tedious & wearing. #epstein

The American’s have often been stupid? Remember when they barred Charlie Chaplin, a child of extreme poverty, one of the greatest ever movie stars, a BRIT! He was outspoken about social justice & inequality & they accused him for being a Communist? 🙄 He eventually received an honorary Oscar.

Is the SEC in the US looking into trading in the days running up to Israel & America's rash war? Someone will have made a lot of money using insider info to short airline stocks & go long on defence & oil assets. FCA in the UK might like to look at Farage's transactions as well. Just in case.

Hey UK media where’s your patriotic outrageTrump’s lying about and slagging off our PM,Country ,Capital and way of life ? And you people hanging flags everywhere - does ‘sovereignty’ and getting your ‘country back’ stop mattering if it’s Trump undermining us and ordering us about ?- please explain

Fines for UK financial crime nosedive to ‘pitiful’ lows. Penalties from the FCA drop by 78% in five years. Regulator now has a duty to promote growth of the sector. It is a race to the bottom. Financial crime not investigated. Bankers bonuses will increase from illicit financial flows. To

In the rush to toady to Trump, Farage and political simpleton, Badenoch, have shown their contempt for the rule of law. That's as clear a warning as it gets. For them, the law is an expedient and subjectively flexible tool of convenience. These people would happily imperil us in public office.

Let's get this info out to anyone thinking of voting Reform locally or nationally. They will make the lives of ordinary people significantly worse.

The Epstein scandal is deep and wide. Just release all the files DoJ. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I’m live with VoteVets to discuss the war in Iran, how Trump is attacking vets’ rights, and why the midterm elections are our chance to hold this Administration accountable. Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/ByGtcfh...

We done a pod innit Me + @robarmstrong.bsky.social + FT oil nerd @jamiesmythft.bsky.social on The Obvious featuring: -oil 📈 -Gas 🚀 -anyone fancy piloting a ship through the Strait of Hormuz? Anyone? 🚢 -markets 🤮 -sausage rolls 🥧 -2026 is going *just great* 👍🏻 open.spotify.com/episode/3h5w...

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X. Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch. Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp. And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO. Yes, this is oligarchy.

Trump dangerously arrogant & complacent - if a US carrier is hit he'll have some explaining to do. Oh well.

Zero chance of @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social doing it - what BBC News' purpose is now is a moot point. The only 2 real journos left are Ducette & Bowen. Robinson, Webb, Mason, Zurcher & co are just RW clickbait jockeys. @channel4news.bsky.social & @itvnews.bsky.social might push back on liars.

“At mass demonstrations in New York City and across the country, the message to Congress about Trump's war in Iran was clear: Grow a spine.” www.americaamerica.news/p/anti-war-p...

Remember Obama negotiated a deal with Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon. trump got rid of that deal, failed to secure a new one and is now at war with Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

It would be a very good time for Ukraine to hit the Russian drone factory. 'Since early 2022 Tehran has been providing drones & tech to Russia for use in Ukraine. Later in 2022 Russia & Iran signed an agreement to set up a production plant in Russia for Iranian-designed attack drones'.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled: Voters as “Votors” Emergency as "Emeregency" United States as "United Staes" And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Was Hegseth flying one of these planes? 🤔 Trump's incompetence appears to be contagious... 'In Kuwait, several US fighter planes have crashed, in what the US military says was "an apparent friendly fire incident" - one plane plummeting to the ground was caught on film.'

But foreign-owned media and non-British donations to Reform UK Ltd. are just tickety-boo? 🤡

Can we call this treason? 'In January 2020 former “C” (chief of MI6) Richard Dearlove linked up with hard-Brexit campaigners & White House lobbyists in support of a Donald Trump government campaign. www.computerweekly.com/news/2525277...

EU Commission President von der Leyen caved in to pressure from US President Trump. Tell Europe’s leaders to reject the trade deal and protect climate and citizens today. action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-10...

Excellent thread - gives hope that Farage is not the shoo-in for PM that some (OK Daily Express Mail & Telegraph) think he is.

Indeed. Time to stop bootlicking Trump... New Parliamentary petition...

Reposted. My original commentary was labelled rude and hidden. Sometimes an accurate description is too harsh I guess. =======

'the oil price has jumped by around 10% to $80 (£59) a barrel. Some analysts have warned it could go over $100 in the event of a prolonged conflict.' Well done Trump - all on you & your criminal accomplice Netanyahu.

The media will not report on Labour good news. Everyone decent is rightly cross about that. May I suggest you repost the key things to your FB and WhatsApp groups. Not everything. But the BIG things. Like the £7.5bn saving in public services just announced? It will help

Coming over here...

'President Trump called Khamenei "one of the most evil people in History' Don't worry Donald you still have time. Infantino has your gong ready.

It seemed likely that Khamenei was dead until this: 'Supreme Leader Khamenei killed, Trump says'.

One to save to photos and share freely with all the MAGA folk:

Putin relies on Iranian drones - who's going to supply him now Iran's focus is firmly on their own region? No doubt some evil ba$tard will step in to the breach. Does NK make the things?

Dubai under attack from Iranian drones - cue Tice & Oakeshott scurrying back to safety in Britain...

King Charles is STILL set to fly to the US to celebrate with Trump in April. With everything Trump is saying and doing right now - and the hate and chaos he's spreading - this trip must be cancelled. Please add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Im no fan of Iran (an awful regime ruling over mainly lovely people) but it is less of a threat to world peace right now than the United States and Israel.

I dare this “no new wars” 🤡 to utter the term “WMD.” Then I triple dog dare Trump’s MAGA GOP to *clap in cult* for this concept of a plan. 🎶Hello Midterms, my old friend I've come to vote in Dems again Because MAGA’s still a’creepin Trump’s moral rot is still a’seepin…🎶

"Iran can never have a nuclear weapon" was the objective of the 2015 JCPOA, Mr Trump. You sabotaged it, rather than building on it, and we are where we are now. #R4Today

MAGA-aligned Ellison family is about to buy CNN & hand it to Trump. David Ellison is closing in on purchasing the parent company of CNN &HBO. His brother Larry already bought TikTok. Both are big Trumpers & have already put their thumbs on the scale to push Donald's lies. #corporatemedia #magamedia
