Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

Richard Madeley compared Palestine to Nazi Germany, and then said that all the children killed were collateral damage of an essential invasion. RT if him and his hideous views need to be banned from UK TV. (Richard Madeley in October 2023.)

Thames water shouldn't be getting bailouts and it shouldn't be hiking bills. It should be nationalised. Repost if you agree 👍 www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

Unless we want our kids in uniform pretty soon Europe has to wise the fuck up really fast, cut ties with America and create a common defence force. That means the UK needs to get its stupid arse back into the EU and stop pissing about like Trump's kiss-ass sidekick in the playground. Yes you Starmer

Time to get rid of the coaches. Terrible position for new manager in summer to sort a shite defence out and buy a full front line #boro

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Big up the Greens 💚

It isn't easy in the paranoid Labour party at the moment to put your head above the parapet and call out the bullshit. Respect to Stella Creasy for standing up to this. Denying refugees a pathway to citizenship is anti-integration nonsense and it reeks of desperation.

This is not only morally reprehensible, but a breach of the UN Refugee Convention. No refugee should be discriminated against on the basis of how they entered the country www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Very much the big reveal in Episode 8 of Sergei and the Westminster Spy Ring with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social Why did Boris Johnson suppress the ISC's Russia Report? How did it finally come out? And what was really in it? shows.acast.com/untoldanalyt...

A vote for The Green Party is never wasted. 1) Every Green vote at a General Election gives us a tiny amount of money towards paying for a Parliamentary office with staff to help us 2) Every Green vote is an indicator to the other parties that the environment is important. 3) And we win seats!

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal. Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on". Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

Russian Interference to enable Brexit is now unmasked. The Tories knew this but their lazy empty-calorie PM stalled the Russian Report ahead of our 2019 GE. If it looks like treachery, it is.

Thought experiment for Labour… With over 4yrs and a huge majority, why not stir it up? Pitch your tent defiantly on the liberal lawn, loudly reject the epic failures of Brexit and rightwing immigration ideology and see how many liberal votes you gain instead of chasing Reform into a toxic dead end?

Keir Starmer is holding an extended cabinet meeting as growth forecast is slashed. You don’t need an extended meeting Mr Starmer. The solution is simple. Join the CU and SM. @labourlewis.bsky.social @stellacreasy.bsky.social get in there and sort your leadership out. 🙂

Reform go up in the polls. Labour announces a crackdown on immigration. The Tories announce a crackdown on immigration. Guess what? This doesn't help. It just makes the whole political debate be about Reform's top issue every day.

Every one of the major economies is struggling. Each of their electorate leaning to the right, blaming government The reason you're poor is because someone has your share and no major political parties have any policies to address that but the further right you vote the poorer you're going to get.

Trump is the new Hitler. Seeks territorial expansion, Bullies less powerful nations, Wants to deport millions, Deny citizenship to local born, Silence critical voices, Supported by the rich. Has admirers in the UK. Massive failure of western education/politics. Save the future. Oppose fascism.

Ofwat is making us pay for decades of criminal behaviour by water companies. Time to scrap both of them and give the public a real say over the future of our water. Back my Water Bill here: actionnetwork.org/forms/add-yo...
