Andy Burnham has halted the Nationalisation of Thames Water.
As the law currently stands Water Companies need a Water License to be able to sell you Water.
Almost all of them have broken pollution laws, their licenses could be revoked today because of that.
Then they would be unable to charge you.
Then Nationalised for free.
Sky News once again gives Reform/Farage an hour of free airtime/campaigning time barely disguised as 'a policy announcement.'
Odd, I don’t remember Count Binface being offered the same privilege.
Impartial broadcasting? 🙄
Vote Binface. Vote Integrity.
Nigel Farage spent two years as Clacton’s MP barely mentioning the town in Parliament, turning up to vote only a third of the time, and raking in over £2 million on the side while Jaywick stayed the most deprived place in England.
Now he’s suddenly knocking on every door begging for votes because he needs Clacton to save his skin.
Funny how the place only matters when his arse is on the line.
Can confirm Kew Gardens picked up no measurable precipitation yesterday, there has been a weather station at Kew for 155 years and this will be first instance of a totally rainless calendar month. #London#drought
Worth noting that Jodrell Bank has acted as a significant brake on planning developments in East Cheshire for decades to protect the range of the telescope. Rather inconvenient for some in high places.
Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.
I can't get to The US to promote ALLEY CATS as I'm on tour in The UK. So, Americans, ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for me. Just watch ALLEY CATS on Netflix on August 7th. Thanks for asking.
And there we have it
The man who has not bothered to vote in Parliament since March 18th
The man who has essentially disappeared from view for 3 weeks - terrified of questions
Puts on a performative political act for the camera's at 12.26pm
By 3.26pm he is off in a swanky club - so the Parliament appearance as ever was pure show for the camera's as he knew his Party had a question
Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.
Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.
This kind of heat would be extreme in the UK even in the middle of summer, never mind May.
Kew Gardens has provisionally hit 34.8°C today, making it the hottest May day ever recorded in the UK and smashing the previous record by around 2°C.
But apparently we’re all just “overreacting” again.
While @reformparty_uk try to pretend they’re the party of workers, it appears Nigel Farage is being flown around the U.K. in the helicopter of a donor who failed to pay his staff minimum wage!?
Since 19th March - 67 votes in Parliament
Farage has not voted in a single one
£8216 per month before tax paid by the taxpayer
2 months of achieving net zero for those who voted him in to Clacton
He is just laughing at the taxpayer
21 kicked out. 28 defected. 39 resigned. 5 suspended. 1 disqualified. 5 lost seats. That's approximately 99 Reform UK councillors and representatives who have left the party.
22 of them since the local elections just two weeks ago. The party claims "some of the strongest vetting in the country."
Here's the full list 👇
