Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! https://t.co/rhB1cJDKRR via @38degrees

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

Working hard? Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament.

UK MP basic salary is £98,599 plus expenses, including second home.

Since becoming MP Farage has collected £2m from other jobs.

Questions about his undeclared gifts.

"Free-range" labels changed how we buy eggs. Now we need the same honesty for dairy. Don't let US-style mega-dairies hide on our supermarket shelves. Sign the petition to demand mandatory dairy welfare labels from the Environment Secretary 👇 https://t.co/CblUmMTZKl

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Labour has taken four rail companies into public ownership, so that - in Keir Starmer's words - they will now 'be run for the public good, not private profit'. On that logic, why not do the same for water, electricity, gas and Royal Mail?

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

Phew.

For a moment there I thought we might take a structural approach & understand these problems as symptoms of an extractive economy, shaped by deep cultural & technological forces.

Thank the lord we’ve opted instead to bring in a multi-millionaire to sort it all.

Andrew Neil warns Mail readers that Burnham and Streeting want to drag Britain back to the 1970s, that dreadful decade of well-paid jobs, social housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Thatcher called bin Laden a 'freedom fighter', Mandela a 'terrorist', Pinochet a 'good friend' and trade unions 'the enemy within'. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Thank you to the @DailyMail for their help with my campaign. 🙏🏻

Yes I do think we should tax landowners who allow their land to be turned into illegal waste dumps, like Bickershaw. 👍🏻

GB News is trying to gut the BBC. Their radical plan would force shows like Strictly and The Traitors to be axed or hidden behind a Netflix-style paywall. Sign the petition to say NO to a BBC subscription model: https://t.co/FqQF0XfVMy

That’s how you do it!

I just signed the campaign calling on the new Health Secretary to get Palantir out of our NHS! https://t.co/KKOolO4itP

Big money donations are corrosive to democracy. Please ask your MP to support a donations cap. https://t.co/hccSu8Sekl

@tomhfh Having more public control of the essentials helps build a more productive economy. A deregulated bus service which didn’t serve all communities and charged £4 for a single journey did the opposite. Our growth is about much more than buildings.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Among the reasons most EU states and EU institutions are quiet about Israel's daily slaughter of civilians in the region, is that they do not care: Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian lives are disposable, their loss negligible.
And this is so wrong.
Immoral.
Illegal.
Irresponsible.

[Howard Beckett @BeckettUnite]

Jeremy Corbyn’s balanced reflection on Andy Burnham gives us two undeniable truths:

‘Private money in health leads to less care & more profit’
‘Private money in defence will lead to more wars & more profit’

Why are these truths so hard for politicians to see?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

It isn’t 78 years since the Nakba. It’s 78 years of the Nakba.

Tomorrow, we will demonstrate in our hundreds of thousands against the ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people. Join us.

Did you know UK rules let companies get away with slave labour, illegal deforestation and more? A new law could end this - please join me and sign the petition to stop corporate abuses now👇 https://t.co/OlhekeKUfM via @38degrees

Feargal Sharkey, "Water companies... The fines don't work, it's time we actually started upholding the law, and sending some of these executives and directors to jail"

Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "You think we should put them in jail?"

Feargal Sharkey, "If we put one water company boss in jail for six weeks the whole industry would transform itself"
