We really need to get all primary public services back into public ownership: trains, buses, water, energy. Including the internal parts of the NHS that have been privatised. We are pouring our money always into private businesses to run these essential services who just rip us off.
Public ownership of railways.
Greater Anglia services come back under public ownership today.
It now puts a third of all passenger journeys under control of the DFTO.
Dates for most other services to follow have been set and eventually services will transfer to GB Railways (following legislation)

If LK had interviewed BloJob with the same vigour as she’s grilling Starmer instead of the sycophantic slobbering mode she adopted with Johnson we might have got rid of him quicker & with less damage

Still to be arrested by the british Police after scamming over £200M of public funds.
Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon was subjected to a 3yr smear enquiry, then arrested and interviewed about the purchase of items such as teabags for a campaign vehicle

You can replicate the impact of a Tory shadow cabinet reshuffle in your own community by picking up all the litter in your local park, shaking it around in a sack, then putting it back.

Rachel Reeves' Mansion House speech, made last night, made it quite clear that the Labour government is now being run solely in the interests of the City of London. We will all pay a heavy price for that. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07...

There was much in Rachel Reeves' Mansion House speech last night that was neoliberal to the core. Except for the fact that Rachel Reeves clearly presented it, anyone might have assumed that George Osb...

Utterly shameless from Reform, portraying Labour restoring mayoral elections to a more representative voting system as some sort of anti-Reform stitch up, while failing to mention that their own manifesto campaigned for the nationwide introduction of PR

Good to see 30p Lee's got another side hustle to fill his copious free time, only playing the white notes obvs... No wonder rock dad Rod is going a bit Farageist (thanks Guardian, nice spot🙂)

1/ MONEY. Elon has 100x the financial resources Trump has. He’s the largest donor in the history of the party Trump leads by a factor of ten; Trump can’t (and wouldn’t even if he could) replace the loss of Musk as a GOP donor. Trump is also _far_ greedier than Musk; $1 to Musk is like $100 to Trump.

While Tory MPs chase fare dodgers around for a few quid, billions in wasteful PPE spending is being uncovered.
Perhaps if Robert Jenrick wants to catch who's really robbing the country blind, he should look within.

Marx's prediction that wages would eventually gravitate towards subsistence levels used to be wildly mocked. But millions of British workers would be starving without food banks and in-work benefits.

This is Bert 🐦⬛
He thinks he’s a dog,
Trades worms for raisins.
Sings traditional jazz,
Taps on our window to get food,
Taps twice to get his bath filled,
Bathes like sitting on an explosion,
Does Kamikaze air strikes on pigeons,
Husband to a extraordinarily loud wife,

The response to The Settlers has been humbling. But the ongoing displacement and intimidation of Palestinians is more severe than we could capture, says documentary presenter Louis Theroux

This morning I found a plectrum in the toaster.
No idea how it got there. I live with two toaster avoidant boys.
I haven’t used that colour plectrum since 2019.
So either the house is haunted… or post tour brain is real.
Have you got a “how did that get there?” moment. I can’t be the only one.
