customers face hosepipe bans and rising bills—and actual SHIT floods our rivers.

This is what privatized water looks like.
- Huge payouts at the top.
- Crumbling infrastructure.
- Accountability flushed away.

It’s a national scandal.
Water should be public.
Run for people, not for profit.

Revealed: Yorkshire Water boss was paid extra £1.3m via offshore parent firm Company says extra payments relating to work for Kelda Holdings were covered by shareholders not billpayers

Yorkshire Water gave £1.5 million to the Chief Operating Officer this year.

🚨 Tory & Lib Dem Peers are doing the bidding of bad bosses.

They voted to:
❌ Keep zero-hours contracts
❌ Let bosses sack workers unfairly
❌ Attack teaching assistants’ pay

Not sure when an option such as this became so edgy or controversial. She speaks common sense.

Once again Reform UK Ltd with its finger on the pulse of UK consciousness, clowns

I hope the conversion from mailing list to paid members is a strong one

I like the @greenparty.org.uk and the progressive policies but I don't think it will ever shake the shackles of being perceived as party of enviromental nutters - without doing that, they can't be serious contenders.

Better to #backzack or hand in the membership card, sign up to yourparty.uk and set up a monthly donation? It's the second one for me but what do you think?

Likely someone being opportunistic more than anything. Hopefully they are sympathetic with the cause - but taking the handle when it's only a temporary name is somewhat shortsighted if not.
