Five more water companies in England appeal against Ofwat’s curb on bill rises. OFWAT permitted average price rise of 36%. They want more People can't appeal, have to pay up, put up with sewage in rivers, exploitation. Corporations rule and no one is protecting people.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth. Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos. He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks. Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

If you fight on the far right’s terrain, you will lose. Parroting their anti-immigration rhetoric only legitimises them, & people will always choose the original over the copy. Defend human rights, stand by our principles & fight for a socialist vision — that’s how we will win!

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

The appointment of the former boss of Amazon UK to lead the UK competition watchdog is a threat to its independence and pledge to hold big tech to account. Further evidence of corporate control of govt. No chance of breaking monopolies or protecting consumers from corporate abuses.

Trump is capitalism in human form, stripped of its disguises. The violent seizure of other people's resources, the exploitation of other people's catastrophes, the predatory gleam in the psychopath's eye. #Gaza #Genocide

When Fines are not Fines. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat announced fines totalling £168m on three water companies – Thames Water £104m; Yorkshire Water £47m; Northumbrian Water, £17m. Not a penny has been paid. Companies with 400 criminal convictions are allowed to negotiate what and when they will pay.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random. It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out. Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win. Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Resonant words from the Auschwitz Memorial today: “Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. Hatred was gradually developed. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through dehumanization & violence to systematic & industrial murder. “Auschwitz took time.”

England water companies use disinformation tactics similar to fossil fuel & tobacco industries with the widespread use of greenwashing to downplay the environmental harm they cause. They describe sewage overflows as “heavily diluted rainwater”. Can't trust them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
