Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.

Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".

Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.

Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

Hey Nottinghamshire.

This is how your Reform council is spending your money. Funded by your 4.84% council tax rise.

The NSS insists: “We must protect our country from invasion . . . from unchecked migration.” That idea is then extended across the Atlantic to Europe. This is what underpins the NSS’s controversial claim that Europe stands on the brink of “civilisational erasure”.

If you read one thing today, make it The Bear’s withering dismantling of Reform UK’s “budget” with the precision of someone who understands numbers… unlike the people who wrote it. A a masterclass in calm annihilation that's ruthlessly savage. 🔥

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

X is a radicalisation machine that pushes people into angry extremism, peddles disinformation and conspiracy theories and is run by an egomaniacal lunatic who threatens civil war on our streets and wants to trash our democracy.
It does nothing but harm.
So, yes. Government should stop using it.
🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?

Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

Farage says leaving the ECHR is the “unfinished business" of Brexit and that the UK is "not sovereign” while we are in it.

But Farage lies. And Brexit is a shitshow. So, “finishing” it should fill us all with dread.

For ‘adverts’, see also: ‘hospitals’, ‘the Cabinet’, ‘kindergartens’, ‘the England football team’ and, of course, ‘the country’. The only way you can miss this is deliberately. And just watch them try.

It really is quite simple & shameful the UK establishment has never explained it to UK public.
Unless UK agrees a customs union inside a single market of regulations with another country, with a wealthy consumer base of 500m, 20 miles off shore, it'll NEVER compensate what it has lost in easy trade

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

Too much snap by-election analysis "Labour needs to start delivering"... no.

Governments are always "delivering". The problem is how they choose what to deliver, and what stories they tell around those priorities. And that's simply a mess right now.

Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.

What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.
