England's serious water pollution incidents at 10-year high Campaigners release official data showing the most serious pollution incidents in England are double the target.

England water pollution at 10-year high as sewage dumping in rivers, lakes and seas accelerates.

Higher bills, more abuse.

Water industry is 90% foreign owned. Shareholders have no contact with the consequences of cash extraction.

Only nationalisation offers hope

No second state visit for Trump Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

Sending positive energy your way Sarah 🙏

Labour’s carbon-capture scheme will be Starmer’s white elephant: a terrible mistake costing billions | George Monbiot The supposedly green project – brainchild of the previous Tory government – will increase emissions, not reduce them, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Yes, the UK government SHOULD abandon its Carbon Capture and Storage scheme, which
a. would cause a net *increase* in emissions
b. is unlikely to work
c. uses tens of billions that'd be much better spent on genuinely green projects.
Let's hope it has seen sense.

For 16 years the average person's wage and most benefits have risen below inflation, you are poorer now than you were in 2008.

It's time for 16 years of profits shrinking and billionaires getting poorer.

Interesting I always found horror hard to watch except for the Hammer Horror’s which I loved. Modern horrors I think have just become too gruesome trying to be ultra realistic instead of leaving it to suspense and peoples imagination. What’s your favourite horror ❔

Victims of second Post Office scandal criticise 'grinding wheels of bureaucracy' as they try to get compensation Steve Marston was convicted of stealing from his branch in 1996 following shortfalls of nearly £80,000. He said it was "human nature" to be disappointed the redress scheme would not be in place sooner...

The neverending Post Office scandal.

Victims of Capture, a second faulty Post Office accounting system still awaiting redress.

Capture was in place from 1992 to 1999, before the Horizon system, reported false shortfalls, criminal convictions not quashed.

Management covered up failures.

Sky News, "Ukrainians are ready for anything, even the loss of US support"

"They are turning to Europe, hoping their European partners can step up and fill that void"

Ukrainians preferring the stability of Europe to the chaos of the US under Trump

Why isn't the UK preferring Europe to the US?

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Caroline Lucas, "We are the 6th richest economy in the world, there are ways to fund defence without cutting the aid budget which is totally perverse"

FT graph: The US is not providing disproportionately large amounts to Ukraine

An important reality check for Donald Trump.

They're so happy, aren't they, the Cummings of this world that, following Trump's election, they no longer need to hide who they are?

Will have to take a look tomorrow at some point 🤔👍

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, "I will never accept any decision between the US and Russia about Ukraine"

"No leader in the world can make a deal with Putin about us, without us"

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

The little man-child really is this hilariously simple…

Hadn’t caught up with yesterday makes a first but as far as am concerned they are still weak and have been through out all of this. though i suggest insulting people isn’t a good debating mechanism i don’t mind constructive discussion but your first line is pointless

I find myself asking how do we continue to not learn from the past and allow megalomaniacs, narcissists and money to dictate our lives for their own benefit. Our society is told that those who need support are scrounges, thieves, worthless unless helping to line the pockets of some mega corp

Answer it isn’t, Labour is no longer Labour it has forgotten its roots and members to please the few. But this is just a sign of how broken our first past the post system is and our allowing of poor media and reporting

Anyone else fed up with our government’s failure to call out war crimes and criminals just to keep megalomaniacs happy 🙈😔

Brussels lowers its expectations for Keir Starmer’s Brexit reset EU officials and diplomats believe improvements to the cross-channel relationship are possible, and still happening — but slowly.

"Six months of red lines and rejection have dashed hopes that the new U.K. prime minister really wants to walk back the more extreme elements of the Tory Brexit settlement." www.politico.eu/article/brus...
