Thames Water released raw sewage into a chalk stream for more than 1,000 hours over the past 6 weeks. Execs will get a bonus. The company wants to pay higher dividends, record hike in customer prices. Regulators do nothing. Govt can end the scam by nationalisation, but won't. archive.ph/k7b60

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown and protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill

When a government tells us, within the course of one week, that we can't have new hospitals but must have new runways, you know that it is not working on our behalf, but on behalf of economic power.

In 2023, the Elizabeth line saw £7.6 million in private dividends flow out of the network - an amount equivalent to a 2.4% reduction in passenger fares. These profits are leaving the capital just to subsidise shareholders. The Elizabeth line should be under direct public control.

The NHS winter crisis can't be accepted as an annual inevitability. Mental health and social care services can't meet urgent needs, meaning more patients are being kept in overcrowded hospitals. It's time for a #wealthtax to fix this mess.

A vote for Reform UK is a vote to kill the NHS and institute an American Health Insurance system. Where you will pay £10,000 a year for nothing, and then 10x the cost of whatever treatment you get. Or the alternative, death.

Vaccines are among the best of inventions. There's a high chance that without them, and the herd immunity they can deliver, you'd either not be here or would face a lifelong disability: whether or not you had them yourself. It seems crazy to have to point this out, but we forget it at our peril.

Sometimes I feel hopeless about what is happening to the NHS and what people are doing about it. I think we either need to go all in, find the millions of people who care and get a lot louder, or we give up. I want to go all in, but I can’t go all in alone. Share if you think we need to fight.

Now, we need your support for the CAN Bill. Please, back it, don’t block it.”

UK law on political donations is weak. It can't prevent foreign/dirty money from funding politics. It enables the rich/corporations to hijack politics; It can't prevent Elon Musk from funding right-wing parties. Must ban all donations - cleanse politics. leftfootforward.org/2025/01/how-...
