Increasing your Water Bills 44% ABOVE inflation in the next 5 years isn't enough for the Water Companies, they have appealed to Ofwat to let them increase them up to 83% ABOVE inflation. Like if they can get stuffed. RT if we should nationalise the lot.

Many countries worry about declining birth rates, but in English-speaking nations, it seems to be more of a preoccupation of the right, with the left reluctant to discuss the issue. We think that's unfortunate, so we gathered thinkers from the centre/left to reflect on the issue

This is not an image of a migrant mob storming a Birmingham hospital with axes and blades, as this tweet shared by Elon Musk claims. West Midlands police has confirmed the image is fake. The inconsistencies and physical anomalies in the image indicate it's likely AI-generated.

Each layer is itself made up of more layers & they all move around too; circumstance can affect whether the holes line up today or not. Humans are amazing at making up for gaps in systems, most of the time (like a goalie in football). Human error is just the start of an investigation, never the end.

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.

Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified… …once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’. Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.
