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.

New research shows Meltwater from Greenland and Arctic is weakening critical ocean circulation system AMOC
AMOC is at the weakest the past 1,000 years
and 20% weaker since the middle of 20th century.
It could be 30% weaker by 2040 - possibly enough to shut it down

The art of the deal eh? America, you can expect this type of crap for the next 4 years. Well done!🤦♂️
Oklahoma's state superintendent buying hundreds of copies of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" Bible--the ONLY Bible endorsed by President Donald J. Trump!--for classrooms across the state is such a Matryoshka doll of performative grift that I may truly lose my mind

Great news that Scotland is reinventing itself here on BlueSky.
Let's build the community of all of us who want to see an independent Scotland in the EU, never to be ruled by Tories ever again.
We can do this by retweeting and following each other on this

📈 Scotland has seen the second highest growth in employment in the UK this month.
🇪🇺 We were second only to Northern Ireland - which unlike Scotland, has access to the EU single market.
🏴 Scotland continues to enjoy a higher employment rate than England.

Scotland’s electricity prices are based on use of gas by England and Wales. Independent, we’d have some of the cheapest electricity in Europe, and profit from supplying it to rUK
