Thames Water’s in crisis again. The government response is to ban bonuses for water bosses.

This is just tinkering round the edges.

The long term solution must be public ownership.

A newborn baby had to stay in hospital for 5.5 months in the USA in 2011 after being born premature.

The hospital sent their parents this bill after 3 months.

This is the first Labour government in history to increase child poverty. There’s an alternative: properly taxing multinational corporations & those with assets over £10 million. Reverse privatisation of energy, water, rail and healthcare.

Something which has become much more frequent.
Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Despite the ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu, the US and UK governments continue to sell arms to Israel and fund the slaughter of Palestinian civilians.

For the sake of humanity, they must end their complicity in this genocide.

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...
