Thames Water have been fined £123 million due to their 'unacceptable' impact on the environment.

But as long as the profit motive remains, water companies will keep ripping off customers and polluting our water.

Time for water companies to be run for people, not profit.

Starmer’s government is pretty shit but this is hilarious.

You ask yourself: Why the hell haven't they kicked out Starmer yet?

And then you remember: Every viable replacement in the party shares the exact same bullshit politics as him, so they may as well save themselves the bother.

And they wonder why we've all lost faith in traditional politics 🙄
The full text confirms that Rayner thinks that the NHS surcharge should meet the cost of all healthcare used by migrants. So, for example, the cost of treating refugees should be met by foreigners on work visas. You only have to spell it out to see the stupidity and moral bankruptcy.

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you.

You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.

Labour is barking up the wrong tree AGAIN…

They can’t out-Reform Reform

And arbitrarily cutting immigration will hurt us, while not making one jot of difference to voters

Unless they do this…

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees.

They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires.

If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

The Green Party is not 'doing badly', it is deplatformed and constantly attacked by the Right Wing Media so it does not seem like an option that can win to most voters.

This is because it offers an actual alternative.

Bizarre. I’ve never seen an advert for a Eurovision singer. Of course Israel would…

Does he look like that on purpose or are immigrants to blame?

Is it normal to get adverts for contestants leading up to Eurovision or is this... weird? #Eurovision #Israel

Don’t ever refer to this Labour government as on the Left.

You haven’t said anything. You’ve been asked a question multiple times by somebody else and you’ve not provided an actual answer.
May 4, 2025 at 1:56 PM
You haven’t given me anything to respond to.

And I’m not being sarcastic.

The phrase ‘potential adversary’ is hilarious, I’m sorry. Especially when the country stoking a conflict with China is the USA. The UK will just be dragged in like the good little piggies we are.
