How Thatcher's privatisation of the water industry in the 1980s covered up the cause of a mass poisoning of people in North Cornwall with an aluminium chemical.
The Tories were scared the incident would prevent investment in the water companies.
Disgusting.

John Smith and James Pratt were executed for Sodomy, the last 2 people to face this punishment in the UK, although it remained a capital crime until 1861.
James was a stable worker, John a labourer. Despite pleas for mercy, their sentence went ahead.

What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting". They're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming & fishing, the decline is snowballing rhe longer we're out.
New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:
- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700
- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.
Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

The value of Fuel Duty is now at historic lows, having fallen by 23p per litre (or a third) in real terms over the past decade.
It would cost £5 billion *per year* to continue the freeze by the end of the decade.
Instead, smaller quarterly increases should be introduced.

This is not perfect but it’s so much better than what we currently have both for refugees and others
I would urge people to listen carefully to the Home Secretary's full speech in the Commons on Asylum & consider the full range of measures, the examples & the comments on other countries.
You don't have to like it all, but there ARE things which many have called for.
Here is the first 3 mins.
