@thameswater Customer services at @thameswater - after being unable to answer why my recent bill has raised my monthly payment by 110%, I say “This is what privatisation looks like”. They reply - “I apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced.” Dissonance. #thameswaterextortion

……and the person at @thameswater I’ve been messaging with has been unable to answer the simple question as to why, when inflation has been 4.9% a year between 2022 and 25, my bills have gone up 95% per year. #thameswaterextortion

So grateful that @SangitaMyska helped us tell our reparative justice story of the Trevelyan family & @heirsofslavery in early 2023. What a loss to good radio journalism. LBC should be ashamed. #reparativejustice #slavery

Great to see @michellegayle1 of @TWR__org & @GoodLawProject telling us why @britishmuseum needs to create a room dedicated to the Transatlantic Trade in African People. @heirsofslavery

Thank you to the people of Carriacou who talked to @MixelMedia and I for tonight’s @NewsHour report on how this small eastern Caribbean island is recovering after Hurricane Beryl struck with such devastating force on July 1.
Delegates at the U.N. climate summit are trying to strike a deal that would provide as much as $1 trillion per year for developing countries to help them withstand the impact of climate change. No country is watching the talks more closely than Grenada. @LauraTrevelyan reports.

I apologised for my slave-owning ancestors and paid reparations – Keir Starmer can do the same for the UK
