Government's failure to take control of Thames Water means almost £1billion of customers' money will be squandered - How is this good for anyone but financial parasites and predators? www.windrushwasp.org/single-post/...

Companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines pocketed £3.9bn "excess profits” over the past four years after Ofgem misjudged their costs. Will we get a refund - no chance. Ofgem doesn't protect people. Need customer elected directors on the boards of all utilities.

I'm neither a citizen of the UK nor the EU, but I've lived and been educated in both. Though I'm an expat American who's called Asia home for many years, I wholeheartedly support Dr. Galsworthy, chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk, in the bid for a stronger, more united Europe. Time is of the essence

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead. Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

Europe really needs to think about what it will do if Trump lines up with Putin - tries to give him east Ukraine & then get a mining deal with Putin in east Ukraine. We should be thinking about trade sanctions, X ban, UK pull out of 5 Eyes - encouraging Canada to do same, etc.

In 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Soviet Union agreed to carve-up the country. History repeats itself: Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump-led USA agreeing a carve-up. Will embolden all dictators to grab territories and resources of weaker countries. Nuclear proliferation inevitable.

The last two sections of Syria yet to fall are Latakia and Tartus, homes of Russia's most important military bases outside Russia, key for their global terror operations. The humiliation from losing these, if lost, will be the end of Putin's regime.

UK water companies have a problem. To keep water safe, it needs to be tested regularly. But after the last UK testing labs shut down they discovered that Brexit rules prevent water being tested abroad. This year, thousands of people in Devon suffered as a result www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Brexit is a manifest disaster; the damage accrues daily; and most people recognise this. As Harold Macmillan once said: “Where do we go from here?” Keir Starmer says we have to restore good relations with the EU and “make Brexit work”. But Brexit doesn’t work! www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There is reason to wonder whether Starmer has fully grasped the scale and the acuity of the challenges posed by Trump. He is trying to avoid choosing between the US and the EU but he won’t be able to avoid taking sides for all that much longer www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Completely normal emotional response to a bit of light-hearted political satire. Not at all deeply sinister or totally deranged and absolutely NOTHING like 1930s Germany in any form. Glad I’ve cleared that up.

Always good too see the EU set out positions that are logical and in line with earlier statements: First UK should implement Windsor Framework and agree on fish, then Youth Mobility and dynamic alignment + fin. contribution on SPS and CBAM

Starmer will be spitting feathers over this. The ravages of Brexit disease upon UK infrastructure will continue. No amount of glossy brochures about growth, innovation, and prosperity will solve things unless the UK ditches its 86 deregulated free zones and rejoins the EU

It is much better to believe in Santa Claus than to believe that the Media will ever tell the truth and support a politician who is bad for billionaires but good for everyone else. Both are myths but Santa Claus is harmless, believing the Media is deadly.
