Privatised Britain is a shambles, presided over by pocket stuffing CEOs whose shareholders come first. What will it take for Ministers to grasp the fact that 80% of us want to see water back in public hands?

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Drive through the English countryside after the Planning & Infrastructure Bill becomes an Act, and you will see fields replaced by housing estates. Decisions made by men who believe the countryside is simply a blank space on a spreadsheet.

5 children ill after playing in the Thames; an unwell Kayaker; a rower who couldn't sit some of his GCSEs due to E coli. Meanwhile, publicly owned Eau de Paris has opened up the Seine for swimmers. Enough is enough. End the disaster of privatised water now. Well done

Belém, one week after COP30. Private jets gone. Raw sewage still runs in the streets. The shiny new 'Freedom Avenue' is already a smugglers’ highway for illegal timber and cocaine. The 56,000 delegates partied on floating 5-star hotels, then vanished. The bill: $2 billion for a

The state of corruption in America’s first family set out in detail by this comprehensive article in @guardian by @tomburgis https://t.co/hj8JRQbvYo this is the corruption the Rutger Bergman referred to in the sentence in his first Reith Lecture, now deleted “for legal reasons”

'England’s nature services provided benefits exceeding £37.1 billion, more than any single manufacturing sector.' yes @DefraGovUK new Environmental Improvement Plan out today making all the right statements but is the plan good enough? still assessing https://t.co/x2qnbtT4Iz

If the cost of living crisis won’t move this government, maybe the collapse of their climate programme will. After 35 years of privatisation: - No new major water reservoirs built - 3bn litres lost to leaks every day - £85bn taken in dividends. A system built to extract will

Why are you still peddling that slogan when it’s been debunked? Nature is not a ‘blocker’ yet you still claim removing environmental protections is needed to boost growth. Why are you ignoring the facts?

They welcome the significant increase in headroom. Right wing pundits will do their usual. FTSE250 flash response on this week is clear. They liked it.

Ian Hudson (left) tried to sexually assault a woman in Sunderland until a brave young Muslim man, Hamzah Albar (right), intervened. Hamzah confronted Hudson, chased him down, was punched in the face, and restrained him until police arrived. Hudson has been jailed for 9 years

The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press https://t.co/dM9dl7BTvS

Not a single plane flying over Venezuela, a country of 30m people with world's largest oil reserves Its airspace has been closed by the US President sitting in White House 2,000 miles away International law is a chimera. World is run like the mafia and Washington is the Don

Feel like I'm going mad. The Budget's 'headroom' is based on frankly irresponsible and wildly optimistic claims about what Labour will do in the final year of the forecast, and on ignoring a bunch of upward pressures on spending, and the claim is that she was being exaggeratedly

At the last count it is 6 years since a deposit return scheme was promised in England and still we don't have one - Romanians on their love of returning their plastic bottles

Please 🙏 email your MP, the #PlanningBill is a disaster, taking us back decades in #nature and environmental protections. @UKLabour are now thinking about scrapping Biodiversity Net Gain too. The email is ready to go, just type in your postcode. https://t.co/pBmtQ7fmOs

❌A shameful step back for nature. The UK Government has pushed the wildlife-harming Planning & Infrastructure Bill through, despite huge opposition. Some risks were reduced, but nature remains at risk. Weakening BNG next would be catastrophic. More: https://t.co/4IsgrZgNEI

The Times was always one of my newspapers of choice. It was stodgy and slow, but it strove for accuracy and avoided the Murdoch agenda where possible. And it wasn’t barking mad like the Telegraph. Now, though, it’s changed. When the FT is available, why choose The Times?

A dark day for nature. ⚠️ Yesterday, MPs rejected Amendment 40 (formerly Amendment 130) - a change that would have ensured stronger, evidence-based safeguards for wildlife and protected sites. While this is a big setback for nature here in Cornwall, the response from our

I listened to the debate and it was depressing. Peers defeated on amendments to safeguard nature as Planning and Infrastructure Bill nears final stages | https://t.co/KW06NCblkL
