I’m no great fan of flags but Reform’s removal of the Ukrainian one from KCC is a slap in the face for the Ukrainians. That said, it would be good to fly the Palestinian one too.

Thames Water's £3 billion loan will include £898 million in consultancy fees and interest payments. And they plan on forcing customers to pay for it. We can't keep rewarding them for failure. Public ownership of our water is the only option.

It appears Donald Trump believes cutting off electricity to another country is indefensible—but only when speaking about Canada’s retaliatory surcharge on electricity to the US. When it comes to Gaza, where Israel has cut power to over two million people, the POTUS is silent.
