I'm sure Starmers Labour should not be on the left column though. They're much more aligned to the Tories imo

Private water companies have ripped off customers and polluted our rivers and oceans for far too long.

It's time to bring them all into public ownership.

The fact Israel is returning Palestinian bodies with their hands still tied behind their backs, multiple signs of torture and hoods still over their heads shows how utterly untouchable they feel they are... And we're proving them right. Every single day.

Seeing Labour supporters saying they just need to ditch Starmer to fix Labour. Have they not looked at the front bench? The policies? The gleeful transphobic & anti-migrant rhetoric?

Starmer is a symptom of the rot, not the cause. People who consider themselves progressives must move on from Labour

@lbc.co.uk I remember the good old days when James O'Brien called Keir Starmer 'forensic' and the labour party 'adults'.

Some of us knew better.

The kids votes can save us if they turn out. That's the challenge @greenparty.org.uk can help meet. Starmer's Labour has largely lost that vote

Sunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 15h

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.

This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026

It is always worth remembering that the Labour right, including Keir Starmer, colluded to keep Theresa May in office.

This meant the country suffered 7 more years of brutal austerity, and the calamity of Boris Johnson, especially during Covid.

These people are devoid of character. Never forgive 🐍

Perhaps the only achievement that Starmer can claim to his credit is that he has managed to make Boris Johnson look like a man of integrity and honesty

When this human android speaks it is important to understand that whatever other concerns he has, the truth is not amongst them

Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.

Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.

Despite the ICJ’s advisory opinion that Israel must allow UNRWA to resume operations in Gaza, Israel is still banning the organization. UNRWA provides and facilitates humanitarian assistance to meet the basic needs of Palestinians in Gaza while Israel starves and kills them.

Israel defies ICJ ruling, vows to bar UNRWA from Gaza

Israel says UNRWA will never return to Gaza despite an ICJ order, as critics say its accusations against the UN agency aimed to block aid.

Thames Water wants to pollute UK rivers with illegal sewage dumping until 2040, pay no fines, law already permits some sewage dumping.

Will still want profits, pay megabucks to execs, dividends and fleece customers.

Public ownership is the only way out.

Thames Water – Britain's largest water utility – has asked the industry regulator to exempt it from some pollution requirements.
