12 out of the 14 stretches of rivers designated as bathing spots are polluted with the @EnvAgency issuing a "Do Not Swim" advisories.

So exactly 16 months into a new govt what's been achieved? Absolutely nothing, nada, zero, zilch.

Well that's alright then.

The cost of food has risen by 37% in five years.

Meanwhile, Tesco’s operating profit jumped from £1.8bn in 2021 to £3.1bn in 2024/25, an increase of 72%.

Call it what it really is - GREEDFLATION.

Curse of Private Equity.

Four of UK's biggest dental firms have raked in £1.2bn gross profit over the past two years,

Market controlled by My Dentist, PortmanDentex, Rodericks Dental, and Bupa Dental Services.

Prices 3.5 times more than NHS dentist.

#Reform's #Kent Council hurtling towards financial oblivion.

New Official Report confirms £46.5 million black hole for this year - NOT inherited fm previous Tories but created in just 6 months.

This scale of failure is unprecedented in such a short time.

#Reform's 'flagship'.

"At least 15 English sewage plants use plastic beads spilled at Camber Sands."

So @Southernwater's toxic plastic bead pollution now extends from Eastbourne all the way to at least Folkestone, that's about 50 miles of coast. Polluted by something introduced 34 years ago as a temporary measure while WCs upgraded their sewage works yet here we are 15 of them still using it. 🤬🤬🤬

Oh and that nonsense from SW's managing director for wastewater, totally bullshit but why aren't we surprised.

Of course they did.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

This is in the Constitution for a reason:

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

President Trump, "Norway is immensely wealthy because of the North Sea, the same North Sea that you have"

Norway nationalised oil and gas, the UK privatised oil and gas

Noway used that wealth to create a gigantic sovereign wealth fund, the UK did not

UK collected less revenue per barrel compared to Norway, again, because of privitisation

UK used oil wealth for tax cuts, Norway used it to save and invest in their future

Norway’s strategy: high tax + state ownership + saving for future = turned oil into generational wealth

The UK’s strategy: lower tax + privatisation + spending now, which meant less long-term accumulation

The lesson from Norway? Not to privatise

Holy shit! After Megyn Kelly gave a free pass to pedophiles Trump and Jeffrey Epstein to fuck children, this 14-year-old girl just gave Kelly a brutal reality check. 😳👇

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

See that Rolex clock and gold bar?

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.

Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.

While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump claims that costs are down. He either knows this is a baseless lie—or he does not have the cognitive ability to interpret economic data.

Let me help:

Inflation has reached its highest level since May 2024. Families are paying an average of $100 extra for electricity this year. Grocery prices are up—with staples like beef up 14%.

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Thames Water tried to make MP pay its legal fees of up to £1,400 an hour, he asked the Court to put TW into special administration.

Blatant attempt to silence MPs.

TW paying £200m a year to advisers, charges customers for its failures. Make execs pay.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Sir, you were treated like every other American who gets caught up in a massive criminal event or conspiracy. Do you now want to ban all grand jury subpoenas of phone records or just vote yourself a million dollar taxpayer jackpot because you got one and you think Senators should have special privileges over everyone else?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions.

Apple doesn't recognise unions.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega businesses are not on your side.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Watching Labour MPs take a wrecking ball to nature makes me so angry & so sad. Their action tonight voting down amendments to the #Planning bill intended to protect wildlife & habitats from destruction is so reckless & so counterproductive. People didn’t vote Labour for this 👇

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

The UK national minimum wage for young workers is £7.55.

Farage thinks that's too high.

Reform are the enemy of working people.
