This video is from the French coast on Wednesday. This is what UK money pays for, the traumatisation of tiny children trying to reach the UK with their parents. They may have family in the UK, they may have support networks to rebuild their lives.

Southern Water applies for permission to draw water from rare chalk stream.

Macquarie controlled company loses 91m litres of water per day to leaks.

No new reservoirs built since 1989.

Dumped sewage for 300,000 hours into rivers.

Customer bills up 47% this year.

End fleecing. Nationalise water.

Matt Frei, "Israel's isolation on the world stage is growing, fuelling internal dissent against PM Netanyahu's plan to step up the war in Gaza and reoccupy the entire strip, already reduced to a smouldering wasteland" #C4News

But it won’t stop desperate people trying their luck in small boats will it?
One in One out in no way addresses the number of people seeking safe asylum here so boats will continue to sail and little will change

As Keir Starmer announces a returns agreement for asylum seekers with France, something we haven't had with the EU since Brexit

In 2015 Keir Starmer called for safe and legal routes

It's now 2025, Keir Starmer is Prime Minister, why isn't he establishing safe and legal routes?

Part of a report by Emma Murphy.

It's genocide.

What a load of clap trap! Many of us frequently walk through the west end, soho, covent garden etc at night without any fear or worries.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I was at the (now defunct, obviously) checkpoint a few years ago and it’s been turned into a tourist attraction with mock guards in situ. There’s something very distasteful about it all

They should also complain to BBC News for the same reason.

Great that you met them. Did you promise to support and fund their wonderful work?

Trade and wealth tax myth-busting Know your facts before conventional wisdom gets you

"If a wealth tax in the UK took in similar percentages [to those raised by the same in Norway and Switzerland], it could raise between £20bn and £45bn."

Energy bills could rise for wealthy to protect poorer households An Ofgem review promises to ensure low-income households are not ‘disproportionately affected’ by the cost of upgrading clean energy infrastructure

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

STEWART: “I feel like I’m watching something so self-evidently inhumane and horrific and to be told I have to shut up because I risk the Jewish state by speaking out? I would say the opposite — they’re putting the likelihood of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk.”

Dear U.K. Labour. The fact that VPNs can easily bypass large parts of the Online Safety Act is *not* a reason to ban VPNs. It’s a reason to rethink the Online Safety Act.

We did tell you. Many times.

Don’t throw good money after bad.

And we’d had such high hopes!

Starmer v Starmer: why is the former human rights lawyer so cautious about defending human rights? The long read: Given his career as a human rights barrister, it was hoped Keir Starmer would be the PM to restore the UK’s commitment to international law. The reality tells a different story

A really thorough piece about Starmer.

As someone who regularly deals with MPs, I personally think Starmer the human rights lawyer is long gone in favour of Starmer the careerist politician. Under his watch Labour is abandoning human rights and international law.

Precisely. The wage disparity is unjustifiable! And can you imagine young lads being described as ‘plucky’?

It could have been used to pay yearly wages for nearly 400 nurses

Peter Kyle on Gaza: "we are shocked to our core.. it is unacceptable."

You're supporting Israel. You're arming Israel. You're training IDF soldiers here in the UK. Senior IDF officers are welcome here. You refuse to impose sanctions or end military assistance. Thats the reality.

You can’t buy much for £1.70 these days, so to be able to send a note for that price seems fair to me.

"We've had reports come through from the Hamas run health ministry.."

When BBC News report what Israel says they never clarify its led by someone wanted for intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population & extermination/murder as a crime against humanity, do they?

Ciaran Donnelly from the International Rescue Committee: "Theres an obvious solution in Gaza which is to open the borders & allow agencies.. to bring aid in & distribute it.. airdrops are a grotesque distraction from that priority. We need access, not airdrops"

Public ownership is the only way to save the water industry Public ownership is the only viable alternative but is opposed by the government

England's water companies lose 1 trillion litres of water a year to leaks.

Dump sewage in rivers, have 1,135 criminal convictions

Built no new reservoirs since 1989. Paid £85bn in dividends, have debt of £70bn

One- third of the customer bills cover debt servicing.

Govt is OK with privatisation.

No matter what happens, us Samaritans will always be on the end of the line if you or anyone calls. 116123 will always be a number people can call for support, any time of any day

Such a great photo!

It would appear from this that you are conflating Israelis and Jewish people. That in itself is antisemetic! Not all of us Jews are zionists so please stop doing this!

We have to wonder what Netenyahu has on them
