This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

This is a failure of democracy.
82% of the public want water back into public ownership, but we weren’t part of the decision.
Now we’re stuck bailing water companies out for decades of recklessness.
We need a new water system where everyone has a say.

A depressing and likely pointless hour spent with a survey that basically boils down to “we don’t want to prosecute this specific type of theft, is that okay?”
But I’m sure the big players in the UK creative industry are about to chime in to support us little folk.

The UK, led by Chris Bryant MP, have decided to sell creatives down the river to appease big tech.
"Opt-out" is designed to sell-out the more vulnerable creatives who don't know their rights. So, most of them.
This is a Labour betrayal of workers. Resist it.
