I just called on the UK government to scrap anti-protest laws which attack our hard won democratic freedoms. Please can you defend the right to protest too by signing the petition? https://t.co/nzq5iVnXCV

Sad news about @JeremyClarkson and his cancer diagnosis. I cannot thank him enough for being the catalyst for raising awareness & public support for farmers. He has done so with humour, insight, empathy and compassion. I wish him a speedy recovery. A genuine national treasure.

"EXCLUSIVE: Feargal Sharkey urges ministers to 'seize' Thames Water as nationalisation looms."

It's time to end it and that time is now.

It is beyond disgraceful that the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event was allowed to go ahead.

Once again, the government has exposed its flagrant contempt for international law as well as its shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation.

No messing! @barrygardiner cuts to the chase on Thames Water.

Shareholders should not receive any compensation: and Government has the power to do it.

Sign our petition if you agree Thames Water should be taken into public ownership. https://t.co/RlXaNn4RpL

Israel is dropping toxic chemicals on farmland in South Lebanon

We’re talking about catastrophic levels of glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer

11,000 times above safe levels

This is a deliberate war crime aimed at making life impossible and forcing people out of their land

[Justintime @tykestakeonit]

Defund the BBC.
Licence payers should not be forced to fund a state propaganda service.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Soaring bills. Burst pipes. Sewage in our rivers and seas.

How many more times do we need to say it: the privatisation of water has been a total and utter failure. Bring it back into public ownership, now.

Albanians take the Kushner fence down like its an illegal fence built by Israel in Gaza or the West Bank.

Dartmoor's hill ponies have grazed those commons for longer than there has been a country called England. Fewer than a thousand are left, down from six thousand a generation ago. The United Nations listed them as endangered in 2023. So, naturally, the body charged with protecting nature has decided to get rid of nine in ten of the survivors.

There is a process, obviously.

Natural England's new grazing contracts now count the ponies in the same bucket as the cattle and sheep. A commoner with a fixed quota has a choice: keep a semi-wild pony worth nothing at market, or use the slot for a lamb he can sell. Guess which one survives the spreadsheet. The rest are gathered in the autumn drifts, and with nowhere to put thousands of unhandled moorland ponies, the next stop is the abattoir.

Natural England would like it noted that it has not ordered a cull. It has merely built a machine whose only output is a cull, switched it on, and handed the bolt gun to a farmer so the fingerprints land elsewhere. Very tidy.

And now the funny part. The pony is the best tool on the entire moor for eating Molinia, the coarse purple grass strangling Dartmoor into a brown monoculture. Cattle and sheep won't touch it. The ponies hoover it down and clear the ground for the orchids, the wildflowers and the insects behind them. Remove the ponies and the moor chokes into precisely the lifeless scrubland the contract was meant to prevent.

So the conservation strategy, in full: protect the habitat by deleting the animal that maintains the habitat. A masterclass.

Better still, Natural England's own Fursdon review looked at this exact question and told them, in plain English, not to lump ponies in with cattle and not to cut pony numbers. They read it, praised it, said they fully supported it, then did the precise opposite.

Four thousand years these animals have run Dartmoor with no committee and no contract. They could be gone within one, and the people who did it will write it up as a win for nature.

And on that bombshell…

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Thames Water moves step closer to nationalisation after government objects to rescue deal."

Based on Ofwat's past performance and record for decision making who can blame govt for being rattled by the whole thing.

That said govt could and should end the misery for Thames Water's customers today, and all with nothing more than the stroke of a pen. It should be nationalised, today, this morning, this very minute, right now.

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

"Thames Water lifeline ‘not enough’ to avert state takeover."

Thames Water has been bankrupt for years and customers have been paying for their own exploitation. Govt needs to end it, TODAY!
