Sewage dumped into water over 1,000 times in three days
They've been reported during half term
South West Water dumps sewage over 1,000 times in three days; 16,538 times since the start of 2025.
Predatory practices boost corporate profits, dividends and exec pay.
Companies fleece customers, don't deliver investment.
Nothing will change without ending profit motive.
Nationalise.

Labour's 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents
Rachel Reeves seems intent on diverting more resources away from public housing and towards private investment via Build to Rent
Labourβs 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents.
Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm.
Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes.
Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.

School breakfast clubs in England βwill be used to justify keeping the two-child benefits capβ
As the education secretary announces the first primary schools to offer free breakfasts, Labour MPs question the commitment to fighting poverty
School breakfast clubs in England will be used to justify keeping the two-child benefits cap.
Breakfast clubs welcome, won't end child poverty
Children need decent housing, food, clothes, shoes, more
End two-child benefit cap, redistribute.
1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined

Waspi women threaten legal action after pension payouts rejected
It comes after the government rejected compensation for women hit by changes to the state pension age.
Waspi women threaten legal action over pensions row.
The Ombudsman's report found injustice and maladministration over govt failure to inform 1950s born women of pension age changes.
Recommended apology & compensation.
UK Govt gave apology, refused compensation.

British Gas is named worst energy supplier for customer service
Company says energy sector survey findings are at odds with satisfaction data from other bodies
British Gas is Britainβs worst energy supplier for customer service.
Customer exploitation is normalized.
Regulators/Govt serve corporations, don't protect people.
50% of the Ofgem board must be elected by customers. Let customers vote on exec pay.

Jewish Orgs. supporting Israel not only get privileged access to @BBC bosses but they are also able to set agenda & guidelines for @BBC & journalist to follow especially for Israel & against Palestinians.
HTF a handful of Genocidists can control state media like @BBC ?
