Yorkshire Water boss Nicola Shaw pocketed a £1.3m payout via an offshore parent company — it was recently revealed. 💰. Meanwhile working people are struggling to afford their water bills. This is wrong. We must end corporate control now. Take action:.

Last year, the world’s highest court made it clear: Israel’s occupation & settlements are illegal. The UK & others must take action to help end Israel’s occupation & dismantle illegal Israeli settlements – including by stopping companies such as JCB from trading with Israel.

Israel has used JCB machinery for years to perpetrate war crimes against Palestinians. JCB knows what Israel is using its equipment for – yet JCB is still fuelling and profiting from Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land.

Israel is using diggers and bulldozers from @JCBmachines – a billion-pound British company – to destroy Palestinian homes and build illegal settlements. But the UK government has the power to stop this. ✊Demand action by writing to your MP:

This is a wake up call. After years of promoting ISDS globally, the UK now faces a case of its own. Stop the fossil fuel industry’s secret weapon: end ISDS now.

This is happening because of ISDS (Investor-State Dispute Settlement). ISDS is a clause written into international trade & investment deals. It lets corporations sue countries in secretive corporate courts when governments take action they don’t like, like protecting the climate.

If we don’t deal with extreme inequality now, global collapse is inevitable — the warning from a major new study into 5,000 years of our history. But it’s not too late — transforming our economies and societies can still steer us away from disaster.🧵.

Thames Water used an emergency loan — meant to keep the failing company afloat — to pay £2.5m to senior managers. 💰. Communities, workers & the planet pay the price while big corporations & the super-rich get richer. This must stop. Take action now:.

We're calling on the UK to reject US tariff threats and speak out in support of countries in the Global South. It's time for a fairer, more democratic trade system - not backroom deals dictated by the US. Our joint letter to the UK Prime Minister with @TradeJusticeMov & more⬇️

🪙US President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs mean more profits for US corporations - and pain for workers in the Global South. In Cambodia alone, Trump's tariffs could force 150,000 garment workers out of a job.
