In February, a third of new UK cars had a plug, and a quarter didn't have an engine. Good news for the climate and for clean air.

The government target for 2025 is 28% full electric; but 25% is close enough for the car industry to avoid fines.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt.

They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure.

It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.
