So... What? He's obviously guilty then, right?

My open letter to Rachel Reeves (cc @ofcom.bsky.social, DSIT)

Now O2 has broken the taboo, the big risk is other firms will likely follow suit... the Govt must step in to stop mobile, broadband and pay-TV firms increasing prices mid-contract by MORE than they said they would when people sign up.

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

The richest 150 people in the UK make £115m profit every day, that's your cash taken from you, not asset value, not share price increase.

£115m a day, every day, in pure profit, for 150 people who are already billionaires.

Why does no one complain about that?

Man single-handedly covers south Essex high street with poppies for Remembrance A "tremendous" effort has seen a Billericay man single-handedly put together Billericay High Street's first display of knitted poppies for…

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social have you seen this one?

Everytime you go in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons etc, 5% of the money you spend goes straight to their profits.

Before 2022 it was 1.25%.

But free breakfasts for schoolchildren is what is ripping you off?

They really think you are stupid.

Don't be.

Fucking hell

Damn my unavailability on Thursdays!

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."

In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.

Maybe Beth is on a diet.

I wouldn't say it's just America?

Solar power in oil-rich regions could recycle plastic and rubber into fuel, ending the need for new drilling and, crucially, making our waste a valuable resource. Yet greed and politics block it. Simple proof that our problem isn’t technology or chemistry, it’s human nature’s short-sightedness.

I wonder if punctuation was an important part of the job...

I lose all respect for anyone who mentions "The" Z.A.

I find it so pathetic!

The Public Wants to Ban ‘Politician Presenters’ Like Nigel Farage But Ofcom Isn't Listening The broadcasting watchdog is refusing to act despite research suggesting a majority of viewers oppose politicians like the Reform leader being allowed to host current affairs shows

The Public Wants to Ban ‘Politician Presenters’ Like Nigel Farage But Ofcom Isn’t Listening

Ofcom is failing to protect our democracy. It must be reformed. Unfortunately Starmer refuses to notice that democracy is under greater threat than at any time since 1945.

Water and sewerage companies in England: environmental performance report for 2024

Govt publishes England water companies' league of sewage dumping and pollution .

Worst since 2011. 9 companies collectively received 19 out of possible 36 stars.

Thames Water the lowest rating of 1. Seven firms score only 2.

No fines on execs. No exec prosecuted. Dividends paid. Customers fleeced

And racists...

Absolutely

The Government want to build 300,000 homes a year.

Many people say that is impossible.

But in the late 1940's and all through the 1950's they built more than 500,000 Council Houses in most years.

How?

Because there were no private developers, the Government did it.

If you get fined £150 for pouring half a cup of coffee into the Thames, how much do you get fined for dumping two million tons of sh*t?

The answer of course is you have to pay Thames Water another £3bn a year.

There is so much good Labour could do, to make our lives better, but they are doing so little of it.

What the hell is wrong with them?

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social

I find his lack of brains disturbing...

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US Insurance which would be 4x more expensive and worse in every way.

Except for the £600bn a year profit for him and his mates.

On top of his crypto grifts, real estate deals, and other corrupt ways he profits from the presidency, Trump now literally wants his own DOJ to pay him $230M.

He does this all while his tariffs raise prices on Americans.

An insane, unprecedented level of blatant corruption.

This was excellent & well worth half hour of your time!

@mikegalsworthy.bsky.social Chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk talks with Zack Polanski, Leader of Green Party, with such knowledge & passion about Europe & why our future needs to be with the EU

Making the case for wealth taxes on @SkyNewsPolitics just now. Rumours that Chancellor might seek yet more spending cuts are horrifying - public services are already on their knees & top 50 richest families in UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population - over 34 million people.

Sky News, "If the government agrees, with everyone from the Bank of England, to the OBR, to their own treasury research, that Brexit is a drag on economic growth"

"And that Labour's number one priority is that very growth itself"

"Why not do something about it?"

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Margaret Bloody Thatcher? FFS!

It's TB, and it's not even close...

Witches of Essex review – Rylan’s look at real-life witch trials treats us like idiots The X Factor star and Prof Alice Roberts are an awkward presenting duo in this superficial history show. Do they really think we’re so thick we can’t imagine the mindset of people from the past?

Going to have to give @profaliceroberts.bsky.social latest show a miss, I'm afraid.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

A terrible example of dumbing down television, that I'm amazed she got involved with, frankly.

Must've been short of a few bob?
