‘Creditors want the environment secretary, Steve Reed, to grant the water company extraordinary clemency from a series of strict rules covering everything from sewage spills to failure to upgrade its water treatment works.’ Can’t have anything interfering with shareholder dividends.

🚨 BREAKING: We disrupted Labour minister @darrenpjones.bsky.social's event over his disgraceful comments comparing PIP to 'pocket money'. 300,000 people face poverty from these cuts. Along with @gndrising.bsky.social, we demand @UKGovt make a U-turn on PIP changes - tax the super-rich instead!

Millions of Palestinians are starving. Now a humanitarian ship en route to Gaza is being targeted by Israel. On board: food, medicine & 12 activists. The EU must act now to stop the aid blockade on Gaza! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-6-...

Don’t be fooled. The vague, feel-good rhetoric is a smokescreen for Labour’s Freeports program, a £64 billion taxpayer-funded scam for 25 years that hands public wealth to corporate giants like BlackRock.

New figures obtained by Democracy for Sale reveal that Labour ministers and senior civil servants met with tech industry executives and lobbyists an average of six times a week during the government’s first six months in office. “Who is really pulling the strings here?”

There is no better example of a failed privatization experiment than Britain’s experience of privatizing water, the very stuff of life. No other country in the world has got itself into this dire predicament, and there is an overwhelming public mandate to get ourselves out of it. And yet

Peter Schiff ladies and gentlemen What is about republicans and excusing child rape? We’ve gone from QAnon and MAGA insisting that every single democrat was on Epstein’s island to ‘well if Donald Trump was in on the act then it’s probably not even illegal…’ America is touching the void right now

More than 5 million people in the UK are experiencing financial, health and housing insecurity at levels not seen since the 2008 economic crash. But it doesn't have to be this way. Austerity is a political choice. Labour could choose to tax wealth fairly instead. Now is the time.

Did ICE deliberately set out to recruit truly vile amoral people or are we seeing Nazi guard syndrome here? Where ordinary people turn rotten given a set of circumstances that encourage it. What do they think when they get home at night?

Russia is at war with Britain, the US is no longer a reliable ally and the UK has to respond by becoming more cohesive and more resilient, according to one of the three authors of the strategic defence review.

Across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.

Nigel Farage was screaming to scrap furlough because it was a waste of money, while he had already claimed ÂŁ120,000 for himself. He is a fraud every word is a lie

Aryan versus Predator

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted. It won’t be released in unredacted form. More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment. What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

UK MPs call for ban on bottom trawling in protected marine areas. Much needed regulation. Left to themselves capitalists devour everything in sight in pursuit of short-term profits; with little/no regard for the long-term. Govts indulge them.
