“When the Thatcher government sold off the water industry in England and Wales in 1989, it promised better efficiency, greater investment and improved service quality. But more than three decades on, those promises have largely evaporated.”

Something Cathy pointed out last night: whoever was in charge of choosing an estate agent to flog the old BBC TV Centre now it’s been converted into luxury flats really DID NOT think it through…

Can many people name the chairman of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems or Greens? How often does an unelected bureaucrat get the 8:10 interview on Radio 4? Completely disproportionate media coverage of Zia Yusuf saga

After that tennis match this football is a bit boring. 😴

This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

lol! Think I said women’s football. Anyway Portugal v Spain currently 1-1.

Unfucking believable! What a match! #VamosAlcaraz #RolandGarros 🎾

Whatever the outcome, this is gonna be one of the most epic matches in tennis history. It’s like a Rocky Balboa fight at round 15. 👏🏻🎾 #Sinner #Alcaraz #RolandGarros2025

OMG!!!!!

Bernie Sanders: "We have a president who is moving this country rapidly toward authoritarianism...to a large degree the future of this country rests with a small number of Republicans in the House & Senate who know better, who do know what the Constitution is about, and it's high time they stood up"

Want Alcaraz to win but that ball should have been called out. Mad that Roland Garros still relies on human eyesight!

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

To quote @bridgie433.bsky.social amazeballsssss! 🎾

What a time to serve 2 aces! ✊🏻

Oh my, these 2 finals are amazing!

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

Get in! This is a proper final now! Vamos! #RolandGarros 🎾

Dammit!

What a rally, vamos!

And that!

I’m sorry but I laughed at that!

Local councils taken over by Reform have so far cancelled or postponed 33 meetings. If you're going to make cutting waste your big thing, maybe don't start by showing what a bunch of disorganised, work-shy fuckwits you are.

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement. What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Vance calls the LA protests an “invasion.” 4 minutes later, Miller calls it an “insurrection.” 29 minutes later, Hegseth threatens to send in Marines. It’s like clockwork. They’ve chomped at the bit for months, waiting for a pretext to declare martial law under the pretext of insurrection/invasion.

😂

Good to see Richard Tice back on TV. It's about time Laura Kuenssberg did her bit to normalise Reform policies by platforming a party with only 5 MPs almost every week.

Exactly what I was talking about ever since the orange one took over the Oval Office! Have no intention of revisiting America until they regain their senses. And if they don’t…so be it!

Jeremy Bowen's long, measured, objective, but ultimately entirely clear and conclusive essay on Israeli war crimes. As Jonathan Sumption puts it: "These things make genocide the most plausible explanation for what is now happening." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
