Andy Burnham has still not lifted Yvette Cooper's proscription - which sees thousands of good people being arrested as terrorists - just for holding placards.

Please RT this until - he does.

Thank you.

This document should keep you awake at night.

The govt’s National Risk Register now ranks losing our drinking water alongside a PANDEMIC as one of the two biggest threats facing the country

This year, in the right-hand document: The chances of “Catastrophic impact” on our drinking water supplies - up to a one in four chance.

Last year, same document (on the left) rated it a minor risk. Bottom of the chart.

So what changed? Nothing changed!

Water is still in private hands and depute the Water Special Measures Act deteriorating rapidly.

This is where 36 years of privatised water has brought us.

Tens of billions handed to shareholders. Over £60 billion of debt racked up on water assets that should belong to al of us.

Leaking pipes. No new major reservoirs. Sewage in our rivers, on our beaches, in our sea.

They didn’t invest. They extracted. And now the state’s own risk experts are telling us the tap water could go.

And the regulators? They watched. Fines for pollution became a business expense. Thames Water’s creditors are now asking for their pollution fines to be written off. You couldn’t make this stuff up!!!!

So let’s cut the crap about ‘tougher control’ of water companies. We’ve tried that for 36 years. It ended with drinking water on the national risk register next to a pandemic. You can’t regulate a cash machine into caring about you.

There’s one answer. Bring water back into mutualised public ownership. Run for people, not profit. Answerable to bill payers, not bondholders. Every single pound going back into the pipes and reservoirs we should have built decades ago.

Water is life. And yet we’ve watched it turned it into a payday.

Time to take it back.

Charlie Stayt, "You said Andy Burnham is too in hock to vested interests to deliver real change. You haven't given him a chance, have you, he hasn't even started?"

Zack Polanski, "If he does do the right things I'll be the first to applaud him"

"He's appointed James Purnell as chief of staff. This is a man who is a corporate lobbyist for private water companies"

"When we have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege, this doesn't seem a good start"

"Then we know Josh Simons hired a private investigator to look into a journalist who was talking about undeclared donations for Labour Together"

"And finally, the only substantial thing he's voted on as an MP in the last week, is to support Shabana Mahmood's regressive immigration reforms. Including asking asylum seekers to review their cases every 30 months. That's deeply inhumane for people fleeing war and persecution"

"Andy Burnham might surprise me and move in a more progressive direction and I'd really welcome that"

"But the rumours of appointing Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, a politician who cites Margaret Thatcher as one of her political heroes"

"This doesn't sound like we're moving in a direction to end ripoff Britain, it looks like more of the same"

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Even those in the Labour Party when claim to care about the climate crisis are set to bring about our destruction for profit.

They must be replaced with people who care about our planet.

Count Binface wants water bosses to swim in rivers to prove they’re clean.

He could win a by-election on that policy alone.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"... following intense scrutiny over him not registering donations, gifts"

The story is being framed around not registering 'gifts', whereas the issue is actually politicians taking 'gifts' in the first place. Corruption is corruption, regardless of whether it's declared or not.

Still don't understand WHY you would be allowed to resign from a seat, then run in election for that same seat that you just resigned from.

WHY is it allowed?

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The whole country knows what Jeremy Corbyn's front door looks like. The media used to camp outside it every day.

Nigel Farage hasn't received even 5% of the treatment Jeremy Corbyn faced.

[Bradford Green Party @bradfordgreens]

🗣 "He's very rarely in the constituency, he's very rarely in parliament. There was months when he didn't vote. It's called not doing your job!"

🔨 Hannah Spencer nails it.

➡️ Nigel Farage doesn't even do the job his constituents elected him to do. And then there's the money...

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

Nadhim Zahawi.
This man is bloody insufferable. Now banging on about political elites and the establishment.
All from the man who used his 'elitism' to almost screw taxpayers to the tune of millions and claim heating expenses for his horse stables.
He really needs to f*ck off.

[Just Dave now @justdavenow89]

Can one single Reform voter please answer this question for me??

thanks

[Martin Davies 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 🇨🇦 @martindvz]

They call it GB News to make it sound patriotic.

It’s owned by Australians.

It’s based in the Dubai tax haven

It’s managed by New Zealanders.

The only British bit are the fools watching.

Cuba has run out of fuel to maintain their electricity supply again.

People in hospitals will die.

Yet another War Crime Donald Trump has committed.

" Nigel Farage is a privately educated former City broker , who has been a member of the political class for 30 years. He's a multi millionaire , he's got 5 properties. His party is funded by a billionaire. He couldn't be any more establishment could he ? "

“If we don't get wealth taxes… Labour will lose the next election.”

Economist Gary Stevenson tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy that tackling wealth inequality is essential if Labour wants to stay in power. He argues Britain has reduced inequality before and says it can do it again, but only through political action.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

A timely reminder Nigel Farage wants to

- leave the ECHR

- repeal the Equality Act

- Strip back workers rights

- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts

- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”

PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT

"I took the money, I got caught taking the money, I couldn't think of a way of defending taking the money so, with the help of the British media I'm going to divert attention from taking the money by forcing a by-election and pretending I can't talk about the money because of it"
