Labour might be able to reverse some of their unpopularity if they put water into public ownership, and stopped stealth privatisation of the NHS. But as with so many things, they lack both the vision and principle to even consider it.

Haha I can see the logic of that - sort of a badge of honour! With that said, Starmer is looking pretty doomed, so I'm not sure there's much he's doing right at all.

Starmer's knee-bending to Donald Trump is cringey, says Nick Clegg The former deputy PM says Starmer and Trump's relationship is

You know your reputation is in tatters, when you get called "cringey" by Nick Clegg of all people. #Starmer

Say no to new PFI in our NHS - take action The government’s new 10-Year Plan for Health is proposing to bring disastrous private finance deals back into our NHS.

😡This must be stopped!

Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

It speaks volumes about the state of things, when a fictional satirical character is one of the few people hitting the nail on the head. Some harsh and awkward truths here. The full video is very on point.

Christian nationalism threatens democracy. Secularism protects it. With Christian nationalism apparently gaining ground in the UK, Stephen Evans argues that secularism is needed to safeguard liberal democracy. Read More »

"The claim that only religion can safeguard our freedoms doesn't just distort history; it threatens democracy by undermining the secular principles that protect everyone's rights and freedoms"

Opposing views should be openly challenged with logic and reason, not silenced with the threat of bullets - that way lies a very grim future.

Government's worst case scenario for nationalising water still leaves households better off If the government took water into public ownership, it could save customers £3 billion a year. Research shows that debt and dividends is crippling the industry’s ability to fix the sewage crisis.

The government has published its explanation of the £100 billion estimate for nationalising English water

There are many reasons why we wouldn't have to pay that much but EVEN IF WE DID, Greenwich University research shows it would be a good deal 👇👇👇

The Death of Discourse youtu.be/qsm-x1i7UIk?...

Household complaints to water watchdog soar to highest level in nine years The increasing number of complaints comes amid the steepest bill rises since the privatisation of the industry.

No surprise that household complaints about privatised water have soared

Water is a natural monopoly and they just increased our bills by 35%!

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP would save £3-5 billion a year - that money could reduce bills and/or clean up our rivers

Some people are justifying the murder of Charlie Kirk because he said things they don't agree with. "Well he was a big fan of guns so I guess he deserved it" - No. Nobody should be killed for their opinions. Not even the cunts who are of the opinion he deserved it.

Hmmm... I remain skeptical but might have to give it a go. My doubts are partly because it's yet another Hollywood reboot/revival. But mostly, it's hard to accept the idea of a Naked Gun film without Leslie Nielsen.

We're delighted @sarahsurviving.bsky.social’s case against Survivors’ Network is resolved and women in Brighton & Hove can now get single-sex rape crisis therapy.

Guess this absolute gem got buried by the subsequent farage stuff.

Just embarrassing, never had much hope about this government but expected some basic competence.

You're welcome

Worth reading. An important article that explains the complexities around this issue. In short, moderate Muslim voices are being silenced (and in some cases threatened) by hardliners.

But rather than retracting the accusation, Labour doubled down. Reliable surrogates of the party leadership posted online graphics of Mr Farage, with the caption that his party “would scrap laws keeping children safe online”. Mr Kyle himself posted: “If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act, you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that.” The Telegraph has established that the minister’s attack linking Mr Farage to Savile was not a slip of the tongue, but a line cleared in advance by Downing Street and given to Mr Kyle for the morning round of broadcast interviews.

The Telegraph says it has established that Peter Kyle's attack yesterday linking Nigel Farage to Jimmy Savile "was not a slip of the tongue, but a line cleared in advance by Downing Street" www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/202...

The betrayal of Ukraine continues, especially now that the world's media is looking elsewhere. More people need to be aware of this.

Bit sweary this one... well, more than usual. Be warned.

Screenshot of local election results so far from BBC

So far, these local election results are as predictably bad for the Labour Govt as everyone assumed.

I also predict they'll take all the wrong lessons from this, and hand the UK over to Reform at the next general election.

It feels grimly pre-determined at this point.

Rod Stewart’s donuts?!

All 8 episodes of series 2 of Call Jonathan Pie are now available on BBC Sounds.

Just in time for the bank holiday weekend!

Just listened to the Identity Crisis episode on headphones, and almost certainly looked like a total weirdo laughing out loud in public!

Looking forward to the final two parts.
