While this is a welcome development, how did we end up with raw sewage in our rivers in the first place?

Privatisation’s left us with water that puts us all at “significant risk”.
82% of us support nationalisation of water, government should listen.

‘as the Brexit vote loomed, a London professor warned the geordie heathens that leaving Europe would harm the UK’s economy. Then one of the aforementioned heathens yelled back: “That’s your bloody GDP. Not ours.”

Growth is meaningless if people don’t feel it in their pocket.

Who’s heard of Citizen’s Assemblies? 🤔

A thread 🧵

Fed up with politicians saying one thing to get your vote, then saying another once elected?

Majority advocate for deliberative democracy – including citizen’s assemblies and greater accountability for elected representatives.

Excellent column from @adityachakra.bsky.social

“These are people you rarely get to see or hear from in the media. My trade has spent most of the past decade composing sepia-tinged portraits of the industrial working class”

Proper journalism rather than stereotypes.

Lies, damned lies, and immigration. At two recent public meetings, people mentioned buses, anti-social behaviour (especially kids on motorbikes), jobs. No one mentioned immigration. So where is all the bile coming from? My article: majorityuk.org/content.aspx...

Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

This weekend, we marched once again in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

We sent a message to our government: if you knowingly supply weapons to a government whose leader is wanted for war crimes, the long arm of international law will extend to you too.

Money that should be going to ambulances, to nurses, to doctors, and actual NHS services is being lost going to Private Firms!

This message could not get out on Twitter, lets share it here on Bsky!

It is a national disgrace that in the sixth largest economy in the world, 4.2 million children are living in poverty.

If we do not stand up to the rich and powerful, nothing will change.

Another future is possible — we just need the courage and conviction to fight for it.

Rupert Murdoch's media empire has poisoned global democracy and spread disinformation on a mass scale.

It's time to break up monopolies and build a truly free media — one that exposes the truth, challenges the powerful and amplifies local voices building a better world.
