Water company customers fleeced at every turn. Companies paid £85bn dividends, borrowed £60bn+ to fund it. 35% of customer bills in 2023-2024 covered interest payments & dividends. Thames Water spending £200m a year on advisers to stay afloat. We pay for management follies and govt failures.

Twelve years ago Margaret Thatcher died and only days beforehand I'd had my heart broken and was falling apart so thoroughly I couldn't enjoy her passing. Now I'm able to really get in to it. And if you think that's offensive wait til you hear about Section 28.

The French would like to thank the UK for funding to them. 2020 - 2024: EDF owned by the French state made £91bn operating profit in the UK, subsidises French households/industry. UK govts oppose public ownership but happy to let foreign govts own UK infrastructure, export billions of profits.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

And this is, again, how we know all the rhetoric from the right about protecting children is absolute bullshit, because their solution to the labor shortage due to deported migrant workers is to suspend child labor laws, so your 14 year old can take an overnight cleaning job or whatever. Horrific

Rachel Reeves had a choice... But instead of taxing the super-rich, she decided to slash benefits – leaving 3.2 million families £1,700 worse off. The damage that does to our nation’s social fabric, quality of life, physical health, mental health and opportunities… is immense.
