Farage: epic grifter

Tomorrow Thames Water goes bankrupt or Ofwat lets them raise their bills EVEN more.

Which do you think it will be?

Boris Johnson says at the inquiry "it was slow to dawn on government generally about the full horror of of Covid."

Why? Why was it so slow to dawn on the government what could happen?

That slowness cost lives and livelihoods at a grand scale.

Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. I’ve told the new Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people first. Join me:https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-emma-reynolds-to-base-water-policy-on-facts-not-water-industry-fake-maths?source=bluesky

Decentralised, democratic, but disciplined – politics in 3D As the English Left struggles to reproduce itself, positive regionalism should play a part in what comes next

Excellent article from @hugofearnley.bsky.social about the need to build positive regionalism to fight toxic far-right nationalism www.theleftberlin.com/positive-reg...

Newcastle came out in force today! There was a huge crowd at Monument. Which is more than Tommy Robinson can say. Here’s his sorry little gang. Saw more police today than them.

Supporters of Tommy Robinson and Nick Ancona got a taste of Geordie solidarity when they tried to parade their politics of hate through Newcastle, a City of Sanctuary - outnumbered by ten to one, and even their leaders didn’t have the bottle to turn up

So proud of Newcastle today 😊 Huge turnout to show Tommy Robinson and his rabble they’re not welcome on the Tyne and block the racists

27 September 11am Grey's Monument, Newcastle MAJORITY will MARCH AGAINST RACISM. Geordies are black and white

📣TOMORROW📣

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson will be in the toon tomorrow with Nick Tenconi and his UKIP pals.

They seek to divide us and turn us against each other. But we won’t let them. Let’s turn out in force and show them who we are in the North East!

UNITE AGAINST THE FARRIGHT! TOMMY ROBINSON I NICK TENCONI UKIP | ADVANCE.UK ARE NOT WELCOME IN NEWCASTLE. STOP THE RACISM AND ISLAMOPHOBIA. STAND UP TOGETHER TO SHUT DOWN HATE.. BTHEYWILLNOTPASS SATURDAY 27TH SEPT, NEWCASTLE ASSEMBLE: 12 NOON | SIDE, QUAYSIDE, NE1 3JE CRIPS NORTH NEWCASTLE COLLECTIVE

This is today!

Today, while Donald Trump dined at Windsor castle, thousands of us turned out to reject a politics of hatred, division and fear.

We had a message to him and our own government: stop appeasing the far-right, stop arming Israel, and start promoting peace and equality instead.

Hands off our allotments | We Own It Recent media reports have pointed out that Angela Rayner has permitted the sell-off of eight allotment sites since taking office. We believe that one allotment sold is one too many.

It doesn't matter if it's the Conservatives or Labour allowing 8 sites to be sold off every year. Even if a few might be replaced, some won't.

One allotment sold, and lost from community use forever, is one too many.

Picture of pub by a river with a footbridge running across it. Below the headline reads: Southern Water applies for permission to draw water from rare chalk stream Environment secretary urged to stop drought order that could damage the ecology of River Test in Hampshire

Not a single new reservoir built in England for 30 years. ❌

3 billion litres of water lost from leaking pipes every day. ❌

What's the private water sector's solution? Hosepipe bans and ruining rare river ecosystems. 🤯
We need public ownership now.

Hands off our allotments | We Own It Recent media reports have pointed out that Angela Rayner has permitted the sell-off of eight allotment sites since taking office. We believe that one allotment sold is one too many.

Why is Angela Rayner rubber-stamping the sell off of ANY allotments? We need more not fewer

Allotments help with cost of living, food insecurity, physical + mental health, climate

STOP SELLING OFF THE FAMILY SILVER, end austerity, fund councils properly

Photograph of Dieter Helm, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford. It is accompanied by a quote which says "The one objection to nationalisation which has little merit is that it would cost the government a lot. This is nonsense."

The Government says it would cost £100bn to bring water into public hands. That figure's based on a report paid for by the water companies which Dieter Helm has called 'economically illiterate'.

Public ownership of water makes most sense.

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

New petition: Introduce a 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million & tax reform We urge the Government to launch a 2% tax on assets over £10 million and implement tax reform measures such as closing loopholes in non-doms and inheritance tax and reducing taxes on regular working people. We think this could raise billions of pounds per year for public spending.

New petition: "Introduce a 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million & tax reform"
