You too, Mark. 🫂 Stay safe and well this time of the year. X

I took this pic last week in Kiel, a bridge over the Schwentine.

I live so shyly it could be taken as an apology, but it is only simply that I walk gently.

I do not blame the hills, nor do I blame the trees.
I do not blame the summer bugs or winter's endless freeze.
I can not blame the wind that winds around the bend, and I will not blame the history with fences still to mend.

Despite damning evidence the govt clinging on to private ownership of water in England; people fleeced for 36 years.

Prospect is sewage dumping, health hazards, lack of investment, higher domestic/business costs, tax dodges, asset-stripping.

Public ownership is the only way out.
Nationalisation is the only way to fix the crisis in the water industry

If you’re banning bonuses for failing water bosses

You should be banning all shareholder payouts from failing water companies

If you follow this to its logical conclusion, you should be banning private companies from our water system entirely

Most new build homes must have solar panels, Ed Miliband says

"The rules will be included in the Future Homes Standard, which will detail a wider plan for improving energy efficiency"

Looks like a big win for green-energy goals (and bills), though worth watching how it impacts house-building

Awake, but in that pleasant daze, that warm, relaxing, dream like phase, when bed is softer than a cloud, the house so quiet, it’s almost loud.

A reminder that when the Sycamore Gap tree was cut down people immediately started blaming immigrants and teenagers...

It was neither. It was two white Englishmen in their 30s.

Of all the NHS cuts being forced by the govt's draconian spending targets, those to palliative care are especially horrifying.

At exactly the time MPs debate assisted dying, we face removing care from dying people.

How can you do this, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social?
