At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Just flat out lying from Treasury. Water utilities are highly profitable once you strip out debt repayments. And the statutory mechanism for rescuing broken water companies enables DEFRA to strip out debt repayments. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Good morning. As we wake to Reform taking Runcorn and Helsby by just 6 votes this, to me, is the clearest sign that we need PR now. All those votes for others that people cast are in the bin. Repeated at a national level at a General Election this is not democracy, not at all….

Private gas-fired stations charge 100 times normal rates for electricity when renewable energy in short supply. Private equity, foreign state-owned companies make huge profits. End the scam. Nationalise UK gas plants & entire energy production. Lower energy bills reduce poverty, business costs.

The UK government has stopped the grants to farmers that ensured that fields aren’t cultivated to their very edge but that a “corridor” of land is left “wild” as a corridor to encourage wildlife. Wasn’t this one of those EU legacy projects that was guaranteed to continue?
