Carbon emissions, air pollution, noise pollution, congestion, biodiversity loss: Do these not matter anymore? Rachel Reeves suggests she would now be in favour of an expansion of Leeds Bradford Airport. 🤷 Incredible. #leeds #galba #yeadon #horsforth

Rachel Reeves says she previously opposed the expansion of Leeds Bradford Airport for air and noise pollution reasons because it was "during the pandemic and people weren't really flying".

Hahahahahahahaha

🚨 STOP UK BIRD SHOOTING 🚨

Every year, millions of birds are bred and released just to be shot for "sport." This cruel practice destroys wildlife, disrupts ecosystems, and causes unimaginable suffering.

Thames Water is after a £3 billlion bailout loan💰

The interest and fees alone will be £800 million 💸

The company only has one source of income - customer bills 🧾

What might happen to those bills? 🤔

We need Steve Reed to #BlockTheBailout

FCA fines Macquarie Bank £13m for 400 fictitious trades amid ‘serious failings’.

No clawback of exec pay, no prosecutions.

Puny fine won't frighten a bank with $A2,912 million profit.

Macquarie destroyed Thames Water and is sinking Southern Water.

Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm behind think tank pushing PFI 2.0.

PFI: Govt guarantees corporate profits.

Previously- Each £1 of PFI investment in infrastructure resulted in £6 repayment.

Cheaper for govt to borrow, can create QE for infrastructure.

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry.

That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827.

Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems.

Most people want to end the scandal.
