It's kind of linked I think. Platform & underlying principles are same but to implement they need to speak to the audience. It is a lesson well learnt I would say. You can speak what no one wants to hear & be a martyr or connect the dots for uninitiated and win to implement the principles.

Image of MP Shockat Adam carrying a placard that says “I am backing amendments to the Railways Bill to cut passenger fares, end rolling stock profiteering, give passengers a seat at the table in the railway and reverse rail cuts and reconnect our communities”

😡🤯Private companies that own our trains paid out £1.16 billion in dividends to shareholders since 2022.

The Railways Bill will allow this to continue. UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you @shockatadam.bsky.social for supporting an end to rail profiteering.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

I care for my disabled son. South East Water outages left us without water for six days Families across Sussex and Kent have been left without running water for days at a time after South East Water failures.

The government must bring South East Water into permanent public ownership. Anything else – fines, resignations – is tinkering around the edges.

He does that during his play with me every single time and it never fails to cheer me up when he is so satisfied at capturing the ball, as if he has caught his arch nemesis - The Squirrel 😂🤣

So I guess in his mind it is practice. 😀😀

It is not my grievance. It is that of the doctor in the article from Guardian who helped a fellow Citizen and was penalised for his good deed. It is a shame is what it is.

Ryanair expects me to take the financial hit for helping others As a doctor I stepped in to tend to an elderly passenger … but it won’t waive £100 transfer fee to rebook

I don't understand how can Ryanair get away with being this nasty all the time. I dont fly with this airlines as a matter of principle.

What's been happening without hope is not working either and is killing planet, killing industries and killing hope. Hope does make for better Commerce to average citizens than what is on offer or if it continues, what will be on offer if red is replaced with Turquoise.

This clearly isn't enough to even retain their core vote base seeing as the results are today.

There has never been a better case for a ruling party to bring in proportional representation than the results of this by-election.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi

It is not but each to his own. I can vouch for the benefits of a non-UPF diet that I have seen in my own health markers and diabetes control ever since I moved away from UPF.

Music, the Lhasa Apso dog, running towards his Human with ears flowing back and tongue out.

The purposeful run when Daddy is spotted after he was missing from Music's line of sight for a full 30 seconds. The joy, the happiness, it was a sight to behold. 🥰😍

Water industry admits sewage monitoring damaging public trust The industry says powers to self-monitor water quality should be handed back to the regulator.

Private water companies are effectively marking their own homework. 🤔

Southern Water was fined £213m for lying about sewage data. 🤯

We need public ownership NOW. 💧

Yeah I am fairly certain pretty much all who voted Labour will support these moves and not showing that intent is what's causing current perception that nothing has changed as per the article. They must act before they have nowhere to go but down.

True. Pultocrats are very good at playing the three dimensional chess while rest of us struggle with snakes and ladders.

I reckon you meant "negligible". That we won't know until its done and bear in mind it's the data analysis created by billionaires so its hardly reliable. The benefit is it will show intent and will place labour closer to working people and erode support of crazy party.
