Private companies are polluting our rivers, hiking up bills, and failing to deliver. 82% of us want public ownership – let’s make it happen! Sign the open letter now & demand action! 👉 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pu...

Heathrow Airport is of course privately owned. This means dividends instead of necessary investment. Join the dots.

@BBC could we all be aware of how many malign players are taking advantage of the Gaza documentary cock up to work to their true end game- the destruction of Public Service Broadcasting and t BBC in particular.

This is stunning. Need to hear more about one of Londons biggest developers Asif Aziz who has just bought the much loved Bloomsbury YMCA.

Is it true that US owned,profitable @Boots doesn’t pay its employees sick pay?

terrific story from Jim Waterson.www.London centric.media/p/lime-ebike-story london-switch-cheaper-chinese-tyres?r=3cnw17

My beautiful and brilliant sister Di Hope died earlier this year . Here’s our tribute to her in the Guardian.Thanks to @OtherLives team for sensitive and kind editing. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

If you do nothing else today read @nesrinemalik.bsky.social in@Guardian on the murdered children of Gaza.Maimed, traumatised,orphaned. All done by Israeli forces and sanctioned by the Israeli government .

If you do nothing else today listen to the glorious Laurie Anderson on @DesertIslandDiscs. Thank you @R4!

Dreadful decision by@guardianmediagroup to sell off Observer to @tortoisemedia.bsky.social Shocking at every level.

Why on earth could the BBC not keep her?

A landmark read! Jaw dropping. Too many crackers things to quote here…. @henrymance.bsky.social deserves a medal for keeping a straight face throughout.

Oh dear. Michael Spencer- who he?- can’t seem to do the sums. And he’s a financier?

Brilliant, devastatibg piece by Carole Cadwallader on the Guardian/Observer mess. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Brilliantly incisive piece by @phillipinman.bsky.social in The Observer about runaway power of corporate capitalism making us iller, stupider and less powerful- all for profiteering. Says Labour shld tackle these behemoths but won’t.

Why on earth are we selling our 500 year old @RoyalMail to a reticent Czech billionaire?

Bluesky taking off! What’s the best way, if you’re off X, to encourage your followers there to follow on Bluesky? Is there a way?

Well! right wing media@TheTimes, @telegraphnews, @DailyMail really going fully unhinged about Government’s modest plans to inject a bit of fairness into our economic system and to do something about climate breakdown

Disgusting pager attack. If Israel, it must be held to consequences.Criminal act.

🎥 You can now watch the interviews from our Media Confidential podcast on YouTube! Here @arusbridger.bsky.social and Lionel Barber speak to former Twitter executive @brucedaisley.bsky.social about Elon Musk’s X. Can it be brought under control? www.youtube.com/watch?v=vik9...

This week’s @bbcmediashow a masterclass in telling the story behind such a huge a terrible story. The impact of cuts in local and specialist journalism and so much more Bravo @katierazzall and @rosatkins #journalismmatters www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

First a peerage and now a plum job. Why does Boris Johnson keep promoting [Baroness] Charlotte Owen ? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/677...

Same Kings Advisers who don’t know about sewage in the rivers they manage, hideous flaws in the technology they manage , mould in the flats they own!

@LRB Astounding, horrifying piece on the genocide in Gaza by Adam Shatz,US Editor of LRB.Utterly persuasive. Rooted in historical fact- brave writer as Israel won’t take this lying down.

Fantastic from Carole Cadwalladr on the kings of online drivel. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why is @Eurostar so crap? Honest question- started out so well.

Brilliant piece from the ever shrewd @nesrinemalik.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Can we start discussions about how terrible private equity is? Protests against Gail’s in Walthamstow are on the right lines- more means worse, in general, esp when PE is fattening something up for resale .

@annettedittert.bsky.social hello! Good to be away from the filth!

“Like reporting on a horror movie.” On this week’s @MediaConfPod we talk to Gazan journalists @azaizamotaz9 and @YoumnaElSayed17 on the hell of what they’ve witnessed - & their anger at what they see as western indifference @lionelbarber mediaconfidential.lnk.to/podcastAh

Good news spot. Gorgeous journey North to Edinburgh. Thanks @LNER

This is an excellent BBC programme from seven years ago explaining how Australian bank Macquarie extracted enormous sums of money from Thames Water. It baffled me when I first heard it, it's infuriating now they're talking about hiking bills by 50%: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...
