The taxpayer paid an extra £3billion so Thames Water bosses could get their bonuses, despite abject failure.

I'm a teacher. My students got really good results last year. Can I have a £260,000 bonus please?

Good afternoon from Mid Wales - hope you are all OK.
Weather here is over-cast, drizzling and cool. Temp is 11 degrees Celsius. Hope you enjoy the rest of the day.

I've had enough. The UK is a rich country, so why are our schools falling apart, our hospitals understaffed and millions struggling to get by?

The 0.1% and corporations are robbing us blind.

Staggering to read that the privately owned National Grid made over £5.3 billion in profit.
Had it still been nationalised then consumers bills would be almost £200 lower. Instead we giving US and middle eastern billionaires even more money to sit on.

Is this all by design?
Tories imploded, Labour purges the left and are given the 2024 GE. Starmer’s party pisses off everyone so much that Reform UK win the next GE.

The Lib Dems have submitted an Early Day Motion to Parliament calling for Thames Water to be taken into Special Administration. That's great BUT the next step has to be public ownership. [We Own It].

We're facing a political emergency: a high likelihood of an shamelessly authoritarian government in 2029. So we urgently need this basic safeguard: a codified constitution.

It means breaking with hundreds of years of tradition, but it can’t wait. As hard-right figures spread division and laud autocrats, a fail-safe is vital, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is something we could expect from the Tories but the Labour Party should be dismantling or disabling it on coming into government. Private corporations do not operate in the interests of the public. They operate in the interests of their shareholders and profits

This is why Starmer said we wouldn’t be getting closer to the EU. It’s because we can’t, he’s signed contracts with big corporations who will then effectively govern Britain and these corporate zones aren’t allowed by the EU.

Confused as to why there’s not more publicity? Me too.
