"Chinese suitor ‘would cut billions from Thames Water investment'." When you're getting as desperate as govt is about finding a bailout for Thames Water exactly how desperate a deal are you going to be prepared to accept? It's looking increasingly likely that TW's customers are about to be screwed, again. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…

Last week's drought status. What kind of a mess have we become that as a national we're sitting around keeping our fingers crossed, hoping beyond hope that it's going to rain? Is anyone in charge?!

So you remember all that bullish*t about cracking down on polluters, holding water companies to account, the new water industry enforcement levy etc etc.... Well guess what, the @EnvAgency has just offered WCs a 40% discount on the first year charges. What a hoax.

Chris Mason, "Nigel Farage is a man who is a master of political storytelling" "Never before have we seen a man as rich, with a megaphone as large, so willing to get stuck into politics abroad here in the UK" "Little wonder Nigel Farage's domestic political rivals are fretting frankly about just how influential he's proving to be at the moment"

@paullewismoney @Ofwat Hi Paul has anyone worked out how much less (I assume less) the average customer would pay if these CO’s were nationalised again and we didn’t need to pay their profit in our bills?

Well, they’ve worked hard this year bit.ly/49JkNAv persuading @Ofwat to approve a plan to make customers pay for the investment their companies have failed to do for 30 years because they paid shareholders and bosses instead

this is what financial capitalism looks like - when Big Finance occupies the state and takes over the social contract, nurses struggle, grandparents struggle, parents struggle, renters struggle, private equity flourishes.
ally@missmayn

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

I don’t really know what to say about this other than I was in tears. The early part of the pandemic was dreadful and thanks to this testimony we can have some idea of how brutal it was on NHS staff. Bless the NHS
Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social@chrischirp

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

Dear 🇬🇧, @Nigel_Farage wants you to forget the fact that 10 years ago your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system in the world. The best on the planet. France was #9. You don’t need a new system. You need to stop listening to conmen, and reinvest in the NHS. #GE2024

Eurostar trains from London pass through three “International” stations en route to Paris and Brussels. But Ebbsfleet and Ashford are mothballed due to a Brexit/Covid combo. Stratford in east London has never had any Continental trains. Should it get some? independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…
