Our privatised water system is broken, and the next Water Bill could lock in more of the same.

If MPs don’t hear from us, water companies get their way again.

I’ve written to my MP. You can do the same in 2 minutes: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Ask your MP to oppose another water industry stitch-up

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

The NHS is improving rapidly under Labour.

You won’t hear it from the right-wing press, but the stats speak for themselves.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

I believe this is a photo of #NCFC fans in Sheffield on this day in 1959.
Some real characters in there.

The right-wing lurch of the Newsquest former Archant titles continues. Reform candidate for Norwich North - who gained 18% of the vote - is given free rein to comment on non-story in today's EDP. Depressing just how much successive management teams have trashed this title.

Tory coalition of chaos with Nigel Farage 'would lead to NHS charging for ops'
The warning comes as the two right-wing parties have been neck and neck in polls in recent weeks - with Tory leader Kemi Badenoch already facing questions about joining forces with Reform UK

Tony Slattery was an incredibly funny and intelligent man

I remember as a kid watching him on the TV in hysterics amazed by his quick wit

And a few years ago the admiration I had for him, opening up to the world about his demons and battles with addiction

RIP Tony, a truly funny man

📈Lots of charts doing rounds re market jitters in the UK.
Here's one I find quite helpful 👇
It's the cost of insuring UK debt against default.
Two things to note:
1. People ARE more concerned. The CDS spread HAS jumped up recently.
2. It's nothing like what happened in 2022.
