It really stinks that Ofwat, under pressure from Treasury, is putting the public interest second. And we're lining them up to be sued if they continue down this path. 👇

Finding guilty everyone who's not white and nicely spoken would do it even quicker - but it would also (for similar reasons) be a bad idea.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*
People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
Special relationship - alive and kicking.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

“This strategy simply papers over cracks of a politics in which the Overton window moves steadily towards the hard right & likely big victory of the party that represents a full-fat rather than semi-skimmed version of national populism” - great from Neal Lawson on need for Labour to build alliances👏

In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

A mansion tax isn't how you hit the wealthy - who have a small proportion of their wealth tied up in housing. A mansion tax is how you hit the middle classes - whose only valuable asset is their house.
More cowardice from Labour: afraid to go where the real money is, to go after the super rich.
