Anglian Water pleads guilty, fined £1.42m for contaminating water supply. No exec fined. AW already has 128 criminal convictions. Allowed to operate, fleece customers, dump sewage, neglect investment, pay dividends and exec bonuses. End the farce. Must remove profit motive. Nationalise.

Elon’s lil DOGE tried to roll up on GAO like they run Congress. Let me be clear: GAO works for US—not Trump or Elon. DOGE can’t shrink what it doesn’t control. Stay in your lane.

Here’s how it goes: Starmer acquiesces to Fromage on everything RW voters delight in the suffering, but don’t vote Labour Fromage either wins outright or continues to set national policy from the sidelines (which is better for him) That’s it.

"Press freedom is at its lowest point ever in history" Tim Davie mentions a BBC reporter being expelled from Turkey. He doesn't mention Israel preventing intl journalists from entering Gaza or them murdering 215 Palestinian journalists over 18 months. Funny, that.

Thames Water executives to receive bonuses from £3bn emergency loan. Bonus for dumping sewage in rivers, not plugging leaks, neglecting investment, fleecing customers. They are laughing all the way to the bank. Govt/Regulators do nothing. Let customers vote on exec pay. archive.ph/lcNyD

In England if your dog poos on the beach you get fined £1000. If the Water Companies dump record sewage and let the network fall apart, YOU get fined £2bn a year.

Things will keep getting worse until there is large scale disruptive direct action and civil disobedience that doesn't stop until all the war criminals in power are out. Sadly too many are still complacent and don't care.

Magic Money Tree Rolls-Royce wants UK subsidies for new engine. Why can shareholders not fund it? Govt won't give repayable loan, won't take equity stake. Company will own resulting asset & income streams. Huge wealth transfer to private hands. Must check corporate welfare. archive.ph/ImPcN

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

“When context changes, and US deserting Europe is one such context, you have an opportunity to make the case for changes that otherwise would be off the table” Brexit and austerity? Or neither?

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million. It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts. This is austerity 2.0
