Privatisation has failed.

It is theft. Theft of our water. Theft of our money.

Nationalise water now.

BBC’s Chris Mason calls Farage a “master of storytelling”
Maybe the BBC could stop helping him out and tell another story.One about a grifting prejudiced conman who’s wrecked our country with his ‘Breaking Point’ Brexit but has never been held to account for the lies he’s told, the damage he’s done.

Even though the Tories sowed the seeds for this latest blow, the public will associate the increase with Labour.

That's not fair - but it's the reality of being in government at the point the chickens come home to roost.

The Tories timed their 2024 GE wipeout to perfection, just as the sky fell.

Ofwat is making us pay for decades of criminal behaviour by water companies.

Time to scrap both of them and give the public a real say over the future of our water.

The UK is on the EU agenda. That's something a lot of folk said wouldn't happen six months ago.

But there's a lot of obstacles ahead, and time is already a factor.

The response to this nasty little foot-stamp from Rees-Mogg is to call out his precious Brexit for the pack of lies that it is, then to improve the deal to such an extent that people want to keep the benefits of better terms.

Make a fool of this vengeful little man and his politics of prejudice.
To my point yesterday…doesn’t matter what Labour actually does, this is how it will be reported/weaponised…

AOC was on track to secure the votes to become the next ranking member of the House Oversight Committee.

Then Nancy Pelosi threw her weight around to secure the votes for 74 year-old Gerry Connolly, who announced he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer last month.

Nancy Pelosi needs to retire.

Before the General Election, the electoral commission approached EveryDoctor to discuss our campaign spending. We had a meeting, we had ongoing comms. If they have time to devote to a small non-profit, why on earth aren’t they speaking very loudly now about Elon Musk+ Reform and massive donations?🚨

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.

He died as he lived, clicking “Forgot password,” then checking his inbox for a code, then putting in that code, then setting up two-step verification, and then waiting for the text message that doesn’t come, and then calling the 800 number, and then downloading an authenticator app, and dying.
