Energy bills up 6.4% — while network providers raked in £4 billion in “excess” profits over four years.
Water bills up 26% — while firms paid £78 billion in dividends since privatisation & racked up £64 billion in debt.
End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism?
Here is an answer: Good Things.
Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine.
Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it.
The more we build community, the less it can take root.

‘This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism

Why are government’s “hard decisions” always hard on people with the hardest lives already - so sick of framing cowardice in dealing with those with the most as “toughness”

Happy Imbolc! This old Celtic festival marks the start of spring, the beginning of the lambing season, and may have been dedicated to a goddess called Brigit, later St Brigid - the first female saint in Irish literature.

Tonight, a vigil outside HMP Eastwood Park marks Gaie Delap’s 78th birthday. A grandmother and climate campaigner, unfairly imprisoned for her activism. She should be celebrating at home, not imprisoned for standing up for a liveable planet.

The message this and other events gives to young people who can clearly see their future world disintegrating, is unforgivable from all adults.
World breaches 1.5C warming target in 2024 while 78-yr-old climate activist Gaie Delap languishes in a UK prison for having demonstrated to 'Stop Oil'. And yet there are people who continue to think that we, in the West, live in rational lib democracies www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This 77-year-old climate activist should never have been jailed – and now faces a Kafkaesque struggle to get out | Zoe Williams
A failure of justice, and draconian Tory law, put Gaie Delap in prison. A failure of government is keeping her there, writes Guardian columnist Zoe Williams
