🌊BREAKING: The tide is turning on privatised water. Against the odds, MPs on the EFRA Committee are calling on the Govt to explore all ownership models - including public ones. A powerful shift, especially when the Govt's Review ruled public ownership out from the start. Our pressure is working.

We’ve now over 4k sigs & rising. This petition is also increasing in importance as the broadcasters relentlessly frame the 2029 election 4 years out. Nigel Farage & his band of 5 are apparently heading for No.10. No other party matters. Tell them they’re wrong. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Under the globally recognised Peelian Principles, the key difference between police and the military is that policing is done with the consent of citizens. How can a nation continue to give consent if police shoot unarmed women with rubber bullets for asking to go to their own homes? #Fascism

Zia Yusuf’s resignation and u-turn aren’t the only things causing division in Reform UK this week. We can reveal a key parliamentary staffer has a history as a Tommy Robinson fanboy, directly contradicting his boss’s public stance. hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/10/n...

It’s always black women who lead the way when taking a stand against injustice. Black women were the only demographic that refused to vote Trump, as every other demographic threw them to the wolves. Doechii isn’t just one of the best new artists around but firmly on the right side of history.

Some people want no immigrants, also no incentives for people to have more kids, also living standards, public services, and pensions to keep increasing, despite declining % of the population being of working age - and then get disillusioned that this cannot be delivered.🤷🏽‍♂️~AA

Three-quarters of pensioners to get winter fuel payment. Welcome U-turn after losses at recent elections. What will means-testing cost? Must abandon two-child benefit cap, disability benefit cuts, cuts to public services. Must redistribute, improve spending power of the bottom 50% of population.

The Observer reports today that the UK Government will take action to ban bottom trawling in its Marine Protected Areas. Ludicrous that this isn't already the case of course, but good to (hopefully) see some progress on limiting the environmental devastation.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR? Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

The Govt’s “largest review of the water sector since privatisation” ruled out public ownership - a solution 82% of us support - before even starting. This review is a sham - but we still have a chance to be heard. Sign @labourlewis.bsky.social’s open letter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/si...

Between 2011 and 2023, 816 care homes in England were forcibly closed by the regulator for poor standards and harms to residents. 804 were owned by for-profit entities. 30% -40% of fees vanish in profits, leaving less for services. Profits and care don't mix.

UK benefit fraud prosecutions are 23 times more than for tax offences. Tax fraud up to nine times higher than benefit fraud. Laws against the rich are not always enforced. Govt taking powers to snoop on bank accounts of benefit claimants. Same won't apply to tax abusers, scammers. It is class war

Under-investment in social housing has meant many low-income households instead live in the private rental sector. The result is less secure and lower-quality accommodation for tenants and higher costs for the state, which paid nearly £12 billion in housing support to private landlords in 2023-24.
