Old git. Vieux schnock. Pas si jeune que la photo. Particularly fond of traditional European folk music. (Anglo concertina. Hurdy gurdy. Jew's harp. Mouth organ. English and French bagpipes.)

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.
