The Labour Government's unwillingness to do anything to fix Britain's broken water system is a national travesty.

Thames Water is the microcosm - over £20bn in debt and bills rising.

🚨This is a scandal! The government lost thousands of public responses to their railway consultation.

That means that if you want to end the private rolling stock ripoff, or cut fares, or end competition law in the railway, your voice was silenced.

Karin Smyth wants us to believe that new NHS private finance will be 'fundamentally different'.
Her reason? Because the public owns the asset at the end of the PFI contract 🧐 1/3

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.

Why has this disappeared from the headlines?

The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.

"All of this makes clear the fact that the “ceasefire” is not a ceasefire at all. The Israeli regime continues to attack Gaza, to starve the Palestinian population and to deny it access to proper shelter and healthcare." www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...
No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.
