The U.K. is a proud nation, be full of hope, don’t let this charlatan government let you believe and accept otherwise, forever European 🇪🇺🇬🇧 #GTTO, No DM’s.
We pay for - and depend upon - our water system. Now, it’s time for us to have a say.
130,000 people have signed the Parliamentary petition calling for a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership.
Sign TODAY and help get the total over 150k before the Makerfield by-election.

@CallumLyon Retirement doesn't solve it; it often makes it worse. To receive the full State Pension of around £241 a week, you need 35 qualifying years of NI. Fewer than 10 years gets you '0', while 10–34 years a reduced pension. A small private pension, that gets taxed too! Shocking...
The UK in 2026:
Work all month.
Get paid.
Feel relieved.
Pay rent.
Pay bills.
Do a food shop.
Fill the car up.
Back to being broke.
Repeat until retirement.
Apparently this is what success looks like now.
Curse of private equity
Horrific, unregulated, and very profitable. Companies making cash from England’s children in care.
Average charge to the state by a private provider for a child in “care” is £384,020 a year, some charge £1m+.
End privatisation.

"Southern Water sparks fury with ‘absolutely disgusting’ sewage dumping plans."
So Southern Water's big plan to fix the sewage scandal is simply to extent their pipework and dump it further out to sea, no I'm not kidding, just as the good people of Whitstable. @SOSWhitstable

Sainsbury's boss eyes bumper £7.3m payday as shoppers reel from higher food prices.
Up from £5.4m last year – 200 times average employee pay.
Govts preach pay restraint to workers, silence on exec pay, shareholder returns.
Let workers vote on exec pay.

On Wednesday MPs will debate the Railways Bill
They have a big chance to make sure the government delivers on the promise of putting passengers at the heart of our railway
Take 2 mins to send our letter to your MP, demanding they back key amendments: https://t.co/ZCqdrZiYYi
Just looking at new rates for fixing electricity and the standing charge has increased by 12p🤬
Why???
I hate the way successive governments allow us to be repeatedly ripped off just so these vultures of companies can maintain their shareholder profits
South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.
SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.
Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.

I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.
@ZackPolanski This shouldn't even be a thing, why has it become so normalised? High hopes we had for labour, they have become unrecognisable and in my opinion many have put themselves before the country and even their party.
@CallumLyon Are career politicians part of the problem? When self-interest comes before the country, we have a problem. When donations influence decisions, we have a problem. When governments and regulators appear to serve corporate interests ahead of the public, we have a problem.
EU visitors don't face this when coming to the UK—only we do when travelling there. But Brexit voters were apparently informed enough to make a life-changing decision. That's sarcasm. The campaign was fuelled by misinformation and lies.
