Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...
Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny!
Nigel Farage says he welcomes freedom of speech, even if people find it offensive. Surely that should apply to freedom of the press too? So why have Reform's Nottinghamshire councillors - who control ...

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers

The idea of charging for NHS services is creeping in again, but it would be a disaster for millions.

We need to protect what’s ours and keep our NHS free at the point of use.

BREAKING: New polling from @yougov.co.uk shows 75% of Brits support taxing extreme wealth.

But today Keir Starmer once again brushed off calls for higher taxes on the super-rich.

When will the PM stop siding with billionaires and listen to the British public instead? 350.org/tax-their-bi...

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

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.

A depressing and likely pointless hour spent with a survey that basically boils down to “we don’t want to prosecute this specific type of theft, is that okay?”

But I’m sure the big players in the UK creative industry are about to chime in to support us little folk.

Right?

Right?

The UK, led by Chris Bryant MP, have decided to sell creatives down the river to appease big tech.

"Opt-out" is designed to sell-out the more vulnerable creatives who don't know their rights. So, most of them.

This is a Labour betrayal of workers. Resist it.
