Think solar farms are bad for nature? Think again. Those designed for nature in East Anglia are teeming with birdlife - including threatened species. A new study reveals why. ⤵️

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn. It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

The UK Labour govt’s plans to overhaul the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and accompanying proposals to harness pension funds for the country’s much-needed infrastructure investment have sparked widespread debate. How much should private companies be forced to assist/replace public duties?

Why it is time to say goodbye to Germany as an oasis of stability, and why ironically it was JD Vance in Munich who might have helped the centrist parties to get a grip now after all. My take on the most important elections in a generation on Sunday in Berlin. 👇👇

NEW: Six water companies are asking to be allowed to charge customers even MORE for our water bills, even though they’re already set to hike prices by 36% over the next five years. Why should we have to foot the bill for their mess?

Yes it's totally wrong. Thames Water "customers" are bailing out this sinking company with a MASSIVE bill rise of 35% You pay more - and you have no choice about it This is why we need PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW

Scotland customers pay on average £113 less for water than England. Public Ownership of water is normal in 90% of the world. 82% of us want to see water nationalised (YouGov July 24). Thames Water, a zombie company, just took on £3bn extra debt. So yes we DO want water nationalised as a whole!

Great the FT now demands special administration for Thames Water! But this aim is 100% wrong "to return Thames to the market as a stable, privately owned firm" Privatisation failed The aim must be to transfer Thames Water into PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP www.ft.com/content/8534...

Ofgem failed us—now we have a chance to fix it. They let suppliers rake in millions while bills soared and even forced prepay meters on vulnerable people. Now, the Government is reviewing Ofgem - let’s make sure they can never fail us again.
