🔥 AMAZING.
Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.
It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.

As a foreigner, the thing that HORRIFIES me about UK Politics, is the influence of wealthy donors. In France, no citizen can give more than 7500 euros to a political party.
In Britain? You can legally purchase influence in exchange for cash:

Listening to the "best of..." @mrjamesob.bsky.social on the old YouTube this morning, and I was moved by the contribution from the Rabbi and his heartbreak over the actions of the Netanyahu government. Worth your time.

Just posted my last tweet. As a campaigner I’d built a following of almost 300,000 amazing people which then stopped growing and shrank when Musk took over. In recent days I’ve lost up to 1100 followers a day.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.
