At #PMQs just now, Labour MP Abtisam Mohamed asked Starmer for - amongst other things - the government to consider bringing water companies into public ownership. He said "yes"!
But sadly I don't think this was a Christmas policy U-turn, I think he just wasn't listening properly 🤷

£240,000 per job to temporarily safeguard 500 jobs at a firm run by the UK's 7th richest person, an ardent Brexiter worth £17 billion.
Is it really worth it when firms that don't get a penny in government support collapse with greater job losses every few weeks?

Good to see a new Government review launched on foreign £ in UK politics.
It should go further though. Last year, I launched a Parliamentary petition to ban ALL private £ in uk politics.
This would be hugely transformative. It got debated in the Commons & a review was mooted.

It is almost as if Trump will stop at nothing, including war crimes, to keep the files secret.

How Zionist evangelicals seek to erase centuries of Palestinian Christianity
Christianity has been central to Palestine’s political imagination, cultural production and moral vocabulary. It is precisely this reality that Israel and its Christian Zionist patrons seek to obscure
