Since privatisation England's water companies have borrowed £83bn, paid £88.4bn in dividends.

35% of customer bills cover financial costs

Under-investment is the norm

At the current rate of investment it will take 700 years to replace the water network.

OK.
Now, I double, triple, quadruple dare a comedian - doesn’t even have to be Black or Jamaican or Kazakh or Muslim - to create a stereotypical Jewish Zionist Israeli character - like go hard on the tropes, and not only get funding and support for their project from the biggest studios and platforms out there, but also not get cancelled and lose everything to their name on day 1. Go! 🤓

If a Conservative Prime Minister had the nerve to tell 10,000 people they must work unpaid for a company tied to a Tory donor, Labour MPs would be falling over each other to demand a resignation by lunchtime

The vow of silence from #LabourMPs against Burnham is impressive!

The crazy thing about this out pouring of love for Dolly Parton is today's billionaires could give 10 times what Dolly gave without even feeling it and they just choose not to, every single day.

Or...we tax the banks' record profits and use that money to cut down energy bills by up to £517 a year instead?

Do you have a Palestine flag and a Ukraine flag in your bio?
After yesterday's revelation from Zelensky (who's parents live in Tel Aviv) which flag will you be quietly dropping?

I had no idea that the high powered green laser pointers, (which are commonly available on Amazon), can completely fry a Flock camera in like 2 seconds.

Who knew? 🤷

That AI picture Trump posted of himself with Dolly Parton just proves that even in death, he forces himself on women who told him no.

I stopped paying my Thames Water Bill months ago.
I have explained to them that I'm really happy to pay for the water element, but not for sewage when they aren't dealing with it safely.
Threatening letters so far
Court next?

@GreenJennyJones Good on ya, pure criminality with corrupt Gov complicity for years leaves us no other choice!!

🚨 🚩 🔥 This is mission creep towards the American 🇺🇸 healthcare model.

It begins with a trade deal to secure a temporary US tariff exemption for British pharmaceutical exports.

It ends with ministers agreeing to increase NHS medicines spending, changing the price NICE considers cost-effective and then concealing their own assessment of what the concession will cost.

No one announces the privatisation of the NHS.

Instead, trade negotiations gradually import American pharmaceutical pricing power into British healthcare:

👉 taxpayers pay more
👉 multinational drug companies gain leverage
👉 NICE’s independence comes under pressure
👉 Parliament is denied the figures
👉 “commercial confidentiality” replaces democratic scrutiny

The tariff exemption lasts three years. The higher costs and altered purchasing system will embed.

If the deal is good for patients and taxpayers, publish the impact assessment.

You know how stupid this looks to everyone right? The entire world is laughing at the USA. The USA is a joke because of Trump.
“Don’t blame me I didn’t vote for him!”
Do you think the rest of the world sees it that way too? No. Everyone in the USA is a joke for letting this continue.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

90% of countries in the world run their water in public ownership

Even here in the UK, Scotland's water is in public ownership - and they pay less for their water, invest more in their infrastructure, and pay £0 in dividends

We are not asking for too much. We want what Scotland has.

One of the questions I was asked on @LBC the other night was what can 'normal' people do to help.

The answer, we need to turn the volume up to number 15, here's your chance, sign it, then get your family to sign it, your friends, your neighbours, the people in the next street over, turn the volume up to number 15.

Doris Coulson wasn’t supposed to be fed solid food — Parkinson’s put her at risk of choking. The staff at Joseph Schwartz’s nursing home served it to her anyway. She died. Doctors found scrambled eggs in her lungs.

Her family sued and won nearly $19 million. Schwartz never paid.

Schwartz ran a $39 million tax fraud scheme through his nursing home chain — money that should have gone to employee payroll taxes. He didn’t donate to a campaign. He paid a lobbyist $100,000, filed on federal disclosure forms, for one stated purpose: “federal presidential pardon advocacy.”

Three months into his sentence, Trump pardoned him. The Coulsons still haven’t seen a dime.
