A lavish party to celebrate a £241m military AI deal with Palantir.

This is the same US firm embedded in our NHS, with links to anti-democratic politics. This deserves scrutiny, not champagne.

England's water companies have paid £85bn in dividends.

Borrowed £82.7bn. 35% of customer covers interest payments and shareholder payouts.

Sewage in rivers, insecure water supplies. Customer complaints up 50% last year. No exec prosecuted

Govt response - abolished fines on water companies.
Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money
37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

What transpired today was always going to happen. But as Driscoll writes for us, it's symptomatic of the death of the party.

Maybe he should join the Greens?
