The British public has been robbed - and our waters polluted to an extreme - and STILL Labour are refusing to renationalise water, disgraceful
Health and social care handed to corporations.
Profits of 32%-43% from cataract surgery.
Profit margins of up to 21% for child fostering services.
19% – 25% profit margin for residential care for children.
Money buys less. Corporate profits guaranteed. Who asked the people?
A satirical statue of Donald Trump and late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein has appeared in Washington DC
The statue was placed by anonymous artists who also erected one of Trump and Epstein holding hands titled 'Best Friends Forever' back in September
I know there's a lot wrong with the BBC but it makes my soul sink at the thought of it not being there and things like Small Prophets only being on Netflix, which costs more than the license fee anyway.
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1670 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main headline reads “TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN,” with a subheading “HOW OPERATION EPIC FURY UNFOLDED.” The cover features four photo panels set in the situation-room with US political figures seated around a table. Speech bubbles add dialogue: “Is the Supreme Leader dead?” followed by “No, Trump always looks like this!”; “Mission accomplished!” answered with “Yes, I’ve killed the Epstein story”; “What happens next?” with the reply “Popular revolt and regime change,” and a follow-up, “In America?”; and finally, “Why have you started this war?” answered with “So that I can stop it,” alongside “I’ll ring the Nobel Committee.”
Trump Attacks Iran. How Operation Epic Fury unfolded…
The new Private Eye is out now.

Salma Yaqoob @SalmaYaqoob Almost feel sorry for the haters who are trying to spin Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man is evidence of Islamist sectarianism In fact it's evidence of genuine tolerance, rejection of superficial identity politics and ability to prioritise tackling common concerns of cost of living, protecting public services and rejecting war mongering. And the promotion of mutual respect and individual freedoms. The coming together of people is terrifying for the ruling elites.
Totally this.
The rightwing hate “journalists” are spinning Muslims voting for a woman in a party led by a gay Jewish man as Islamist sectarianism.
That's the way to do it. So good to see progressive politicians pushing back hard on Reform's messaging. Highly effective and so refreshing and Labour could learn a lot from Polanski in this regard. Take the attack to the Faragists - don't let them get away with it.
Please watch Dirty Business, C4, outlining what is essentially an organised crime network making a fortune out of the UK water infrastructure.
It seems we can't re-nationalise - our govt would prefers not to rock the boat.

It's the long overdue real-life drama of the victims of England’s sewage crisis and the greed of water companies.
Together with Surfers Against Sewage, we’ll be bringing actions to channel the anger. Stay tuned.
Parliament is debating the use of private finance in the NHS today.
PFI has been a disaster for NHS Trust finances - leading to £80 billion repayments for just £13 bn actual investment.
With Keep Our NHS Public @KONP, we say the public should be consulted on all new finance initiatives. #NHS
Yorkshire Water fined £733,333 for dumping sewage in a Chesterfield country park stream.
Events go back to 2018-2019. Why 8 year wait?
Company has 125+ criminal convictions.
No exec ever fined/prosecuted.
Fines announced in 2024 were later waived. The same likely again
UK set to be among the countries worst hit if US President Donald Trump's 15% global tariff goes ahead.
Trump engages in illegal practices. His promises/treaties mean nothing.
He said 10% after the SCOTUS judgement, then 15%. Next week?
Better to join the EU. Our future lies with Europe.

VD, "You want voters to trust Robert Jenrick as a potential next Chancellor to the country. In the past year alone you have accused him of lying, dishonesty, incompetence"
ZY, "When someone defects from one party to another you will always find tweets like that"
As Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick his Shadow Chancellor, here's a quick reminder of the sort of man Reform wants to put in charge of the nation's finances
Happy pancake day! Nigel Farage is a tosser.
Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
At this very moment both the BBC News and Sky News channels are yet again showing a live speech by Nigel Farage. When will they start showing every speech by @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @eddavey.libdems.org.uk live as well?
BBC to Labour minister this morning "Why are you such reprensible cunts? Wouldn't it be better if you all just killed yourselves?"
If we ever get a Reform government remember who wished it to happen.
“Clean energy drove more than 90% of China’s investment growth last year”.
The new Industrial Revolution is here and we‘re going to miss the boat if we listen to fossil fuel gimps like Trump, Farage and Tice — renewables are the present as well as the future.

Staggering that 24% of voters in this advanced country continue to believe in a bunch of entitled bigots with unworkable policies, whose very ideas put us in the abject chaos we are in. Truly God awful idiots, and I make no apology for saying that.
This government promised to be tough on sewage pollution.
Thames Water has polluted for 80,000 hours in the first six weeks of 2026 alone.
That's a 75% increase on the same period last year.
Regulation has FAILED. It's time for public ownership of water.
💰The Environment Agency allows its staff to hold shares in the companies it regulates.
⁉️And we're supposed to believe that regulation is going to fix the water crisis?!
