Why is renationalising water not even being discussed by the present government? Even though nobody's sure who the government is.

Can Spire be nationalised?
All that money we pay to the NHS surely £1 billion would be a worthwhile investment?
Saving the 32% rip off?

Hedge fund proposes £1bn buyout of Spire Healthcare, UK’s biggest private hospital operator. Your taxes boost value of Spire, make shareholders richer. Third of Spire’s revenues comes from NHS contracts. Average profit margin estimated, up to 32%. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

This is the Labour MP “giving up” his seat for Andy Burnham.
Josh Simons is a member of the Israel APPG, which states that its purpose is “to unite parliamentarians…who are proud to be friends of Israel.”
Now, he wants to help topple Keir Starmer.
Here’s why:🧵

Another day - another variation of a story
Widely reported paid £1.5million for appearance
(tax would be £550k - £700k) - so that fails to explain a third to a half of the house purchase
Farage paid for £1.4m house with I'm a Celebrity cash, says Reform

Apocalyptic scenes from Tyre this afternoon. Terrified children emerging through smoke & rubble after another vicious wave of Israeli strikes hit residential neighbourhoods.
Homes shattered. Streets buried in debris. Families running through clouds of dust carrying children in their arms. The areas struck are well-known civilian residential districts.
And still this is all cynically packaged and justified as targeting “Hezbollah infrastructure.”

If you look at their website, the company number shown is still the number for Labour Together. It means Think Labour is just a trading name of Labour Together. Same organisation totally.
They're doing it for SEO and PR reasons 100%.

NEW: It’s being suggested Labour Together rebranding as Think Labour. If true, that’s quite extraordinary given Keir Starmer was Labour Together’s man.

@BTimberley Just double checked this myself, so blatant.
Also, Labour Together Limited is still registered on Companies House with all the same directors. They have just taken their names off their website 😳.

I$rael used what appears to be white phosphorus overnight in Yohmor in southern Lebanon
The use of white phosphorus on civilian areas is banned under international law
I$rael has caused widespread environmental destruction with more than 56,000 hectares of land damaged, 1.8 million livestock killed and 50,000 olive trees destroyed
With nearly 80 percent of southern Lebanon’s farmers unable to return to their land, some 1.24 million face acute food insecurity

"As people are fleeced, the energy giants and water bosses profit... It is a daylight robbery"
@RachaelMaskell MP and @jeremycorbyn MP demand public ownership in the Water Bill announced today - and call for private water firms to pay for all the damage they have done.

Israel is threatening to sue the NYT over Kristof’s piece on sexual violence in Israeli prisons. Prediction: it won’t actually go forward. A real suit means discovery, witnesses, and opening the prisons. The last things Israel wants on the record.

With Keir Starmer in meltdown mode, this man is being presented as the saviour of the Labour Party.
But did you know that last time Andy Burnham stood for leader, he pledged that his FIRST foreign trip would be to Israel?
Here’s what else I’ve discovered:🧵

It was a Kh-101 missile that struck a residential building in Kyiv, according to preliminary data.
The missile was manufactured in the second quarter of this year. This means Russia is still importing the components, resources, and equipment necessary for missile production in circumvention of global sanctions.
Stopping Russia’s sanctions evasion schemes must be a genuine priority for all our partners.

Absolute disaster for American healthcare. Devastating nationwide moratorium on all new hospice & home healthcare facilities.
Trump is literally blocking critical end of life care for millions of vulnerable citizens meanwhile Israel has free healthcare from American tax payers.

This step by the Gov't of Israel is colossal irresponsibility of the highest order.
Moked Jerusalem reports that the Gov't is to announce on Sunday the expropriation of Palestinian properties in one of the most important locations in East Jerusalem. The pretext? Security.
