After promising to root out waste and ensure taxpayers' money is spent on "things that matter", Andrea Jenkyns wants to spend Β£147,000 on answering her emails. Somebody call DOGE!

Let me check I’ve got this right. Someone calling for entirely innocent foreign-born people to be burned alive at a time of serious social unrest is a free speech champion who must be feted. And some calling them & their hideous promoters in politics & media racist is a menace who must be silenced.

Don't get me wrong, the murder of Charlie Kirk is appalling and should be condemned by all. But why do US political figures appear more outraged by that, than with the Minneapolis school shooting from a couple of weeks ago? Where is their reaction to the shooting yesterday at Evergreen High School?

Nigel Farage just admitted he hasn't a clue how to do anything in government, which is why he needs people like Nadine Dorries. So they will be guided by one of the stupidest morons ever to hold public office - quite the sales pitch.

Journalists questioning Nigel Farage should be pointing out Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings. How hard can this be?

US joins Russia to vote against UN resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine | CNN Politics The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

"We have to join together as one, and stop this from going any further."

Laura Reineke of @henleymermaids.bsky.social reacts to today's Β£3 billion bailout. Thames Water limps on, leaking cash, and failing its 16 million customers.

It's privatisation, and it's rotten to the core.

🚨Breaking🚨

βš–οΈThe High Court has approved #Thames Water’s Β£3bn bailout loan.

This is just a stay of execution. Thames will limp on for a few months like a profit-thirsty zombie. The privatised business model is rotten and must be condemned.

Public ownership NOW!

Thames Water, which is over Β£16 BILLION in debt, has just been granted a Β£3 billion rescue loan. Last December it was still paying fat dividends to bosses and shareholders.

This corporate greed and entitlement needs to be stopped.

As I’ve said before: It’s fucking WATER.

Thames Water wins court backing for Β£3bn debt package Deal approved at high court gives company Β£1.5bn in upfront cash to stave off collapse

After countless crises, billions of tax payers' money & inexcusable bill rises, Thames Water has now been awarded Β£3bn to add to its mountain of debt.

This is an unsustainable model.

In charts: how privatisation drained Thames Water’s coffers Decades of underinvestment and bumper dividends have left the firm debt-laden and under investigation

As Thames Water win in court to take on a further Β£3bn in debt, a reminder here how privatisation took a debt-free public utility to the point of collapse, racking up Β£19bn debt to pay dividends while pumping more and more sewage into the river.

Absolute crooks.

Here's Charlie Maynard MP at the High Court earlier, explaining the people's representation against Thames Water's offensive Β£3 billion bailout plan.

We're demanding:

❌ No bailout!

⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water.

πŸ“‘25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership.

#Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a Β£3 billion bailout.

Conservative ad showing Keir Starmer, saying 'Do you think there should be an inquiry into rape gangs? Keir Starmer doesn't.'

Utterly despicable tactics.

The Conservatives are forcing a vote on a wrecking amendment to the Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill to push a national inquiry that Labour will HAVE to vote against.

If the Bill died now there'd be no new protections for vulnerable kids - and no inquiry.

These tactics are incredibly dangerous.

Jess Phillips already has to have enhanced police protection & been told not to travel alone after Elon Musk called her a "rape genocide apologist" on X.

The Tories are stoking the flames of hatred. This is a bonfire that can quickly spread out of control.

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations
