This is outrageous from Keir Starmer.

‘Russian links to Reform need investigating’, he says. So why is his government still fighting case now in Grand Chamber of Strasbourg court refusing to have such an investigation into Russian interference ??

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. But public ownership is being blocked by misleading figures.

Can you ask the Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people, not profiteers, first?

Everything is too expensive and nothing works.

Privatisation has been a resounding failure…but we can fix it.
Let’s take rail, mail, water and energy back into public ownership.

Let’s pull the country out of this corporate greed crisis for good!

Honking endorsement for Farage, Johnson et la, without a moment’s reflection that 10 years of UKIPified Tory govt created the mess they’re railing about — booming benefits bills, bond market routs, immigration surges, trade slump and investment slumps. Bring back Boris and Nadine! That’ll fix it. 🙈
