For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.

Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.

Put water into democratic public ownership, now.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

An early catastrophic failure of leadership from Andy Burnham.

It makes it very clear that ultimately he isn't serving people in this country (or nature), he is serving private equity and the interests of the super rich.

This is why we currently live in Rip Off Britain.

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

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.

[MikeD @mjdaly57]

Not one MSM news outlet this evening, and certainly not Burnham today, has mentioned that Jeremy Corbyn’s first speech in Parliament after becoming Labour leader in 2015 was to declare his intention of ending homelessness and rough sleeping. They think we have the memory span of a gnat.

People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.

It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…

From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.

🚨🗣️New: Mohamed Salah on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:

“People will say Argentina showed the mentality of champions. Fine. But tell me this: when exactly did Egypt get the same protection from the officials?

We scored a second goal. The stadium exploded. The world saw it. Then suddenly VAR became an archaeologist, digging through the ruins of football history to find a foul from another lifetime.

Funny how they could rewind the game Five minutes to cancel our goal, but when I was brought down in the box, everyone suddenly forgot where the replay button was.

That’s what hurts. Not losing. Not Argentina.

The inconsistency.

One decision gets examined under a microscope. Another gets buried under the carpet.

We were told football is decided on the pitch. Tonight it felt like it was decided in a control room.

And let’s talk about those final minutes.

Two penalty appeals. Two moments that could have changed everything. Nothing. No review. No urgency. No explanation.

Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.

That isn’t a plot twist. That’s the kind of script that leaves millions of people asking questions.

Egypt fought for every blade of grass. We defended. We believed. We earned our moments.

But every time we climbed the mountain, someone moved the summit.

The disallowed goal.

The ignored penalty shouts.

The cards flying around our bench because people who dedicate their lives to this game couldn’t understand what they were witnessing.

And now we’re expected to smile and say football won?

No.

Football wins when the rules are applied equally.

Football wins when VAR is a shield for fairness, not a sword that appears only when convenient.

Because from where I’m standing, Egypt didn’t just lose 3-2.

Egypt lost a goal, lost two penalty appeals, lost faith in consistency, and eventually lost a place in the quarter-finals.

Maybe Argentina deserved to advance.

Maybe they didn’t.

That’s football.

But what will make people angry isn’t the result.

It’s the feeling that one team was forced to play against eleven men, the clock, and a set of decisions that seemed to change shape whenever the game demanded it.

And that’s why this match will be remembered long after the scoreline is forgotten.”

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

Anti-terrorism legislation is to protect the good people of the UK from terrorists.

Not to protect the Zionist state of Israel from the good people of the UK.

Please RT this until Govt stops using this legislation to turn its own good people into terrorists.

Thank you.

[Mrs Gee 💚 @earthygirl011]

Somebody needs to ask @andyburnham what he's going to do about Gaza/Israel, & UK complicity in genocide, & UK failure to act on Genocide Convention

Sooner rather than later. He can't be allowed to swerve it. It's moral issue of our time. It matters for *us*

[Mick Wallace @wallacemick]

The US and @FIFAcom have done everything they can to deny Iran fair play. They have both brought the game of football into disrepute. Both are a total disgrace...

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Kudos to Jose Mourinho, Alan Shearer and many other footballing figures who have called out the outrageous and impossible VAR offside decision against Iran.

But none of them has stated the truth: it was not incompetence, it was FIFA political corruption.

A good trick for coping with hot weather is to freeze a bottle of water and then use it to bludgeon people who get on your nerves.

🚨BREAKING | Zack Polanski says Greens will NOT work with Labour if Burnham continues to support Israel

Polanski said the genocide in Gaza is a "red line", and that any co-operation with Burnham would be impossible unless he admits Israel is committing genocide

(Via @Guardian)

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

The sheer number of cases showing the direct targeting of Palestinian children "constitutes a key element in the Israeli authorities’ genocidal intent to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza."

This report of the UN Commission of Inquiry cannot be ignored:

https://t.co/l9idrU7Nkl

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".

The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

In Britain, you can lie your way to Downing Street, advocate collective punishment, arm a genocide, facilitate an illegal war - and the media will call you a decent man.

[Jody McIntyre @jodymcintyre_]

STATEMENT:

At the beginning of April, Labour peer and former JLM national chair Mike Katz launched a defamatory attack against me. Despite acknowledging receipt of my initial legal letter, issued on April 22nd, and promising further communication in due course, Katz his since failed to substantively engage with my legal team.

I will now be issuing a follow up, and I expect a prompt response.

This case is symptomatic of Starmer’s Labour, in which the top echelons of the party consistently refused to take responsibility for their misdemeanours.

For too long, senior Labour politicians have become accustomed to a culture of intimidation and impunity. That needs to change.

Andy Burnham's Chief of Staff will be James Purnell.

Ex Chair of Labour Friends of Israel.

All you need to know.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

The problem with a coronation is that there is no opportunity for collective discussion and debate before we move forward.
The danger then is people invest their own beliefs in the new leader, and may become bitterly disappointed.
This was Starmer's fate.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"

He means Israel would go after them too.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
