Do you use any of these rail services? Today they have entered public ownership.
🚈 Southern
🚈 Thameslink
🚈 Great Northern
🚈 Gatwick Express

Passengers will see improvements over the first 100 days, including:
✅ recruiting more drivers to reduce delays
✅ safer and cleaner toilets
✅ doubling trains to Gatwick Airport

We’re putting passengers first.

The middle of a heatwave. No rain in sight. Yet @SouthernWater continue to release sewage.

This time in St Mildred's Bay in Margate. It is a sick joke.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

@Helen_Whately @KemiBadenoch Explain to me clearly how you get the equivalent of £71,000 on benefits.

Greens, Greens, Greens across the board! We're so excited by the incredible Greens elected to represent Lambeth and fight for real hope and real change. And here they are:

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power https://t.co/zHuVfDV8dh

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

A poll finds that more British Muslims view Jews favourably than unfavourably and the greatest share see no difference form anyone else. Most are concerned about Islamist extremism too. But what does our media select from it? It’s almost as if they don’t want to ease tensions.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:

They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.

They don't want a wealth tax.

They don't want public ownership & lower bills.

They're trying everything in their power to stop us.

"I think we should be taxing wealth fairly."

@ZackPolanski lays out the Green Party's plans to support small businesses and young people with a £15 minimum wage on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

All journalists.

Targeted and assassinated intentionally.

For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

I think @KemiBadenoch should resign for her failure to take the climate crisis seriously, something that will impact every single one of us in the coming months and years.
Soon enough this will be the mainstream opinion.
This is the reality which politicians are not making clear to you:

[Very Brexit Problems @VeryBrexitProbs]

Trump, MAGA, Farage, Reform and GB News hate the UK and want us to believe the UK is a failing state compared to the USA.

The facts disagree.

On practically every measure of quality of life, health, safety, education, environment, the UK would rank as the best state in America.

The land of the "free " (where people get yanked off the street by masked men) is also the land of half a million medical bankruptcies a year and the world’s largest prison population.

This is the reality.
