Competition regulator allows additional 2% -4% increase in England water bills on appeal.
Regulators side with industry.
Companies to collect more money from captive customers, dump sewage in rivers, pay dividends, exorbitant exec pay.
Rip-off continues. Who protects people?
Starbucks claims of ethical conduct and supporting farmers are a sham.
It books profits from the purchase and sale of green coffee beans in Switzerland, dodges taxes.
Shifts profits. 18% mark-up on all global coffee purchases before re-selling to other Starbucks subsidiaries.
They lie almost as well as Starmer.

McSweeney and Mandelson and Blair, oops I mean BLiar. It’s sad that a once great party has come to this. Hope Your Party coalesces into a decent honest democratic movement after Conference.
Preferably after the budget and before he can do any more damage. What a Christmas present for us!
Looked good on the CV. Pure ambition.
Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.
Funny how the members of this shitty government planning this regressive authoritarian legislation (and those of the Tory ones that preceded it) saw the relentless and prolonged harassment of Jeremy Corbyn at his home by the media & others as a mere joke
From Thursday to Sunday, a programme of Left politics, arts and cultural events takes place in Manchester, a week after Labour's annual party gathering in Liverpool.
NB: I’m always amused when the Tories meet up in Manchester: they have had no Manc MPs for years.

Privatisation broke our water system.
@labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it.

There are better alternatives.
They know we know they don’t know what they are doing?
The new party (Your Party, name to be confirmed) should be a step in the right direction? It will be grassroots driven.
It must be painful to have to put up with her😬. You were sold a pup.
To me compulsory volunteering smacks of serfdom.
Very good point. The NHS for instance would collapse without immigrant expertise.

"Mandelson wasn’t “sacked”, he was ‘withdrawn’ from his role as Ambassador. Meanwhile, Mandelson retains his position as a Labour peer and continues to receive payment, with potential for future assignments.
Apsana Begum STILL hasn’t had the Labour whip restored"

This is Gaza in 1944.
This is Gaza before Israel existed.
