Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt. Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers. So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?

Please help to provide our fabulous front line volunteers with the welfare facilities they deserve by contributing to our crowdfunder. They’re dedicated, turning out in all weathers to bring the canal back to Lichfield - all unpaid and in their own time.
Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust@LHCRT1

Every metre of restored canal starts with our volunteers - they work in all weathers, but their welfare facilities are basic. We’re raising funds to give them the warm, safe, modern space they deserve. Find out more and donate if you can: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/lhcrt-welfare

The UK has arrested a former Prince and a former Ambassador and Lord over the largely American Epstein case. The Americans have arrested no one.

The polling is clear: UK public is finally ready for serious NHS reform In recent polling nearly half of respondents view healthcare as one of the three most important issues facing Britain today; with the economy (66 per cent) and immigration (50 per cent) being the other two – the Holy Trinity of today’s British political discourse. cityam.com/the-polling-is…

I’ve never known politicians to sit on a SAG, this is a technical officer group that offers advice to the responsible authorities, not decisions. Government’s response to Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban was ‘clumsy’, say MPs | West Midlands | The Guardian theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/f…

At Canada’s initiative, work has begun on the creation of a new CanZUK Alliance: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Expanded duty-free trade. Faster and easier opportunities to work within the alliance. Political cooperation. In the long term — a Confederation. Public support for the Alliance: Canada — 76% Australia — 73% New Zealand — 82% United Kingdom — 68%

“Cuts to number of police forces ‘risks separating police from communities’” Major policing reforms expected to drastically cut the number of forces across England and Wales would be “complex to deliver” and risk separating police forces from communities they serve, a policing body has warned. (via standard.co.uk) But reacting to the expected move, the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC) said the creation of regional forces would be expensive, time consuming and has the potential to “derail” the ambition of reforms. PCCs Matthew Scott and Clare Moody said: “The public want neighbourhood policing. There is no evidence to suggest the public would welcome bigger forces and in terms of public accountability, it also risks creating a separation between police forces and the local communities they serve. “It makes responding to local policing and crime needs more difficult and removes the link between local taxpayers and the police they increasingly directly fund through the policing precept.” They added financial savings from creating larger force areas “could be outweighed by very significant set-up costs”. “We also contest the principle behind it – that bigger forces are necessarily better which is not borne out by experience and force performance comparisons."

@LilianGreenwood Really important public safety step, local licensing authorities should be the only ones to issue licences and regulate in the area they are responsible for.

When I was in 6th form my teacher used the wonderful phrase ‘bourgeois sense of productivity’ to describe things like reorganising your ring binder, which made you feel productive, but failed to help you actually prepare for exams. More and more frequently it strikes me politicians are unable to do anything other than ‘bourgeois productivity’ - banning things, legislating against ‘offence’, identity politics, entering into wars of words with people like Elon musk. All of them a huge distraction from solving the big issues that we face, which will take intelligence, hard work and risk controversy.
