Water company bosses rake in £15million bonanza while bills and pollution soar Before a hard-hitting Channel 4 television drama about the water industry hits our screens, research has shown the ongoing rewards for company bosses and their owners

England water company bosses raked in £15m+ in pay/perks last yr.

£900m dividends paid. Customer bills up 26%.

Companies have 1200 criminal convictions. Fines not collected.

Sewage dumping killing people.

No exec prosecuted.

End the scam. Must Nationalise.

He was far from perfect but he was consistent with his message and his empathy.

Monboits ramblings are as boring as he is.
I have no time for the centrist wanker who threw us under the bus when the shit was hitting the fan.

Privatisation of the NHS is guaranteed under Labour as well as under Reform, whatever Starmer and Streeting say. Follow the trail of coins... and vote Green.

He’ll be grassing people up left right and centre to try and save his skin and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up like Epstein

Looks like Labour Together
will be yesterday's news,
as another right-wing, millionaire-funded,
British-Establishment-backed
grouping of Labour MPs
arises from its ashes

Mural supporting the Green Party

I was cycling through Gorton on my way home and saw this amazing woman sketching this wonderful mural in support of @greenpartyhan.bsky.social Hannah Spencer for the Gorton & Denton by-election. What an amazing thing to see.

The Green Party's Caroline Lucas humiliates Reform UK's Zia Yusuf on #Newsnight

"Your position is utterly incoherent"

"You have provided no evidence that it's the Equalities Act that discriminates against white working class boys"

Jeremy Corbyn talking about anti-Zionism on Saturday on the Bristol leg of his The Many tour

"It is perfectly correct to be critical and in opposition to Zionism, at the same time to oppose any other form of racism like anti-Semitism"

Phillips "This is not a country where people get thrown in jail for things they say"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social points out 2,700 people have been arrested for holding signs

And well done to Zack for challenging Phillips smear that 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' is antisemitic

UK ban on Palestine Action unlawful, high court judges rule
Palestine Action’s co-founder Huda Ammori has won a legal challenge against the decision to proscribe the group under anti-terrorism laws.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Ellie Chowns, "Reform UK, before it was the Brexit Party, before when it was UKIP, has been busy for many years fermenting this idea that immigration is the problem in this country"

As an Arsenal fan, I have always enjoyed our historic rivalry with Manchester Utd.

Above all, I admire its identity as a diverse club with players & fans from all over the world.

Jim Ratcliffe’s comments are a disgrace. Migrants aren’t the problem. Tax-dodging billionaires are.

Streeting still ready to challenge Starmer despite show of unity, allies say Health secretary poised to make leadership bid after May local elections to pre-empt a potential challenge from rival Rayner, MPs close to him say

Wes Streeting still ready to challenge Starmer despite show of unity, allies say.

He had majority of just over 500 votes in the last election.

He would take Labour further to the right. Funded by healthcare companies, handing the NHS to corporations and private equity.

On 30th April 1922, 750 British forces, 85% of them Black and Tans arrived
I in Haifa, Palestine having
travelled from Ireland by boat after the Irish War of Independence had ended. They were led by Major-General Henry Hugh Tudor who had been one of Churchill's Generals fighting the IRA in Ireland.

The party is still controlled by the Labour right so the only people who will come forward to take over from Starmer are those endorsed by Labour Together/Progress.
And whilst I applaud Polanski’s leadership and his push to the left the Greens are the new left,they’re still very much centrist.

You’re probably right. The weaponisation of antisemitism for political fan by these people really is woeful.

Keep telling your lies,it’s not 2019 and nobody’s is falling for the fake AS bullshit anymore.

I take it that’s a no then

Have you got examples of his antisemitism?

Screenshot of news article from 2019 from The I Paper headlined “Why Corbyn’s mispronunciation of Epstein’s name matters to British Jews”

Remember when Starmer and his allies in press spent weeks claiming Corbyn was an antisemite because he mispronounced Epstein’s surname?

Just a reminder of the batshit media environment that brought us here.

But it would still be controlled by the Labour right and Labour Together so in reality nothing would really change.

Abolish the Monarchy.

Agreed and I also think that had Corbyn won there would have been a coup by the armed forces

To ignore the fact that the party machine and majority of MP’s were plotting and sabotaging his leadership from day one is disingenuous at best.
That’s not to say that Corbyn was without fault.
