And the reason no new reservoirs have been built is because the water industry was privatised. Redwood was one of the key architects of the sell-off.

Average UK household energy bill expected to rise by £209, 13%, to £1,850. Boon for foreign owners of companies. UK govt can Nationalise End profiteering Decouple gas produced electricity from the rest Transfer levies to general taxation. Watch what the Minister said ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

While arguing that Next can't afford to pay 16-24 year olds the minimum wage, CEO Lord Wolfson forgot to say that for the fiscal year ending January 2026, Next reported an operating profit of £1.236 billion, marking a 13.4% increase from the previous year. #r4today

if landlords were abolished there's still be the same number of homes, just they'd be owned by someone not expecting to make a huge profit annually as rent, plus capital appreciation

I genuinely don’t understand how a normal person could look at this scandal and not get angry. Private companies are profiting massively from our most vulnerable children, by hugely overcharging our communities. It’s the most disgustingly exploitative of all privatisations.

Curse of Private Equity Morrisons to close 100 stores. Blames govt, silent on PE looting. PE loaded company with £6.6bn debt, cut staff, sold-off petrol stations, indulged in sale and leaseback of assets, extracted returns. PE devouring high street. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying. The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds. Just resting. Not sleeping. When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly, “Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.” A few people chuckled. She laughed too. But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been: holding the baby, packing snacks, cleaning spills, walking him down the aisle, missing her own meal trying to calm him down… while the husband watched a movie with headphones on. And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted. Not because they’re doing everything alone. But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”

Britain spends around £37 billion a year subsidising rents because we failed to build enough social housing. A huge amount of that money goes straight into the private rental market because there are not enough social homes. Instead of investing in homes people can actually afford, taxpayers are funding an endless housing crisis 🧵👇🏽

Our statement following the publication of the Grenfell criminal investigation timeline today 💚

The sun hits the Earth with 10,000 times more energy than we use. Every. Single. Day. We're not running out of power. We're just stuck using the wrong kind-because billionaires don't own sunlight.

"They say I've called him a man in 50 interviews. That's incorrect. It's many more. I've never once called him a woman. My position is what are you going to do? Are you going to continue punishing me for telling the truth? I am not going to stop telling the truth" Sall Grover

A billionaire worth £17,000,000,000 who moved to Monaco to dodge £4,000,000,000 in tax is now blaming immigrants for Britain’s problems. If parasitic billionaires like Jim Ratcliffe paid what they owe — and politicians weren’t in their pockets — our NHS, schools and public services wouldn’t be on their knees. It is textbook divide and rule. The real enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

The real scandal is not that people need welfare. The scandal is that someone can work for decades, pay taxes all their life, become disabled or ill, lose everything, and then discover the system they paid into no longer protects them when they need it.

Let’s have a think about what’s happening in Makerfield. This by election is costing taxpayers £226,208. And it’s happening because a Labour MP chose to step aside to make room for Andy Burnham’s leadership ambitions. He admitted that himself. But here’s some more interesting figures. If Burnham wins, he’ll have to resign as Greater Manchester Mayor too. That triggers another election costing taxpayers around £4.7 million. So in total, nearly £5 million of public money could be spent not on improving services, fixing roads, supporting communities or helping struggling families, but on political career ambitions. People are struggling with bills, crime, NHS waiting lists and communities being ignored. Yet Westminster politics still seems focused on who climbs the ladder next. That’s what frustrates people. Not democracy. Political games made to look like democracy.

Campaigners threaten legal action over UK-US deal on prices NHS pays for drugs. Govt appeased Trump, agreed to pay £64bn more over the next decade to drugs companies. No impact assessment, no debate in parliament. All part of unchecked corporate welfare. theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

@Onmeed 1970s Britain owned its water, transport, mail, energy, millions of council houses and sat on a huge North Sea reserve. The national debt was £80bn. 2026 Britain has no assets & a national debt of £2.9tn. It wasn't socialism that did this. It was neoliberalism.

Let me tell you, then, Jessie, why I’m a TERF. See, there’s a man in California who’s doing life for a third strike armed robbery. His first two strikes came from kidnapping young women on two known occasions, and forcing them to fellate him. Mr. Carroll is a 6’2, 250 lb, fully intact man with a beard. He doesn’t take estrogen or wear women’s clothing. He doesn’t use a woman’s name. Nevertheless, the state of CA agrees with Carroll that he is actually a woman, and he was transferred to a CA women’s prison, where he was given a female cellmate. He impregnated her. Technically it was rape, because inmates can’t legally consent, but that didn’t stop the prison officials from giving him another female cellmate. Whom he also raped. When this victim reported him, he counter-accused. She - all of 5’1 and 120 lbs - went to solitary, and he — 6’2 and 250 pounds — got a third female cellmate. Whom he also raped. Mr. Carroll is back in the men’s prison he should never have left, and it only cost three women the injury of being raped for the state to figure that out. You claim to care about poor women — do you care about the incarcerated woman impregnated during her prison term? They’ll take her baby when it’s born, too — so the trauma affects a second generation. This is not an isolated incident. Incarcerated women are incredibly vulnerable to sexual abuse, even when they aren’t knowingly locked in cells with a convicted male sex offender whom guards know raped his last two cellmates. Oh — and to make matters worse, the judge has decreed that the victims must referred to Mr. Carroll as “she.” You claim to be a feminist, and yet you have turned your back on perhaps the most vulnerable population of women in the Western world. You claim to be a feminist, yet you abandon other women to suffer at the hands of violent men, brushing aside their pain with a quip about toilets and genitals. Genitals become extremely important when someone is forcing his way into yours. Ask me how I know.

Just saying ….. #WASPI
