Inspired by the original Chartists we're exploring how to develop a New Charter for the 21st Century:

Water firms across the country are announcing hosepipe bans.

All while:
- 3 billion litres of water are wasted daily through leaks.
- Not a single major reservoir has been built since privatisation.

Time for public ownership: https://t.co/wclY6xs74x

Thames Water hosepipe ban for 1.1m people across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire.

No new reservoirs built since 1989.
TW loses 592m litres of water a day to leaks
Neglected investment
Dumps sewage.

Bonuses for execs, misery for people.

England’s reservoirs at lowest level for a decade, experts call for hosepipe bans.

No new reservoirs built since 1989. Over a trillion litres a year lost to leaks.

Water companies paid out £85bn in dividends. No regulator/Govt had a national plan.

The latest YouGov MRP poll is WILD.

140 MPs elected on less than 30% of the vote, including 1 on just 23.5%. An average winning share of just 35%.

Only 17 MPs would represent a majority of their voters.

Without electoral reform, Parliament risks a serious crisis of legitimacy.

What should terrify Labour strategist in Runcorn is that the Green vote went up - even though Green voters knew this might let Reform in. Labour is simply not progressive enough to win even tactical support ⁦@CompassOffice⁩

Really?
At what point can we hear the sound of prison doors slamming and the keys being thrown away?

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Fuckity bye.

RIP, the Guardian-Observer 1993-2025. It wasn't a natural death.

The biggest journalistic bloodletting in a generation.

Rest in power ✊

Private water companies have been dumping sewage and letting infrastructure crumble for over 30 years. Sign the petition to bring water into public ownership! @We_OwnIt https://t.co/eq8Uex5ArH

Big profits by Banks without having to lift a finger! This should be the focus of @UKLabour reforms, not going after pensioners or the disabled! Via @PositiveMoneyUK https://t.co/u0D2xnkh59

@ZackPolanski If true, it is indicative of just how concentrated wealth has become i.e. that it is the top 5% who pay nearly half. We need a progressive tax system that spreads wealth - and a wealth tax can do just that

"Labour recognises the standards system has been broken & we have a plan to clean up politics." - Angela Rayner, July 2023

We're over 200 days into this government. Where is the Ethics & Integrity Commission they promised?

Yesterday, we revealed shocking polling showing that Reform UK could win up to 169 seats if a General Election were held today. That should worry all of us. But let’s talk about who is actually voting for them, and why. 🧵👇

[Constitutional Reform @CitizenReform]

@labourlewis's Water Bill will have its first debate on 28th March.

This is our unmissable chance to put public ownership of water back on the table.

Ask your MP to be there and back the Bill: https://t.co/w7dP92WHTn

There is a progressive majority in the country - if only ⁦@UKLabour⁩ would build an alliance from it and for it ⁦@prospect_uk⁩ ⁦@CompassOffice⁩ https://t.co/Vk03oeYr2m

[Neal Lawson @Neal_Compass]

When you’ve got 5 party’s with over 10% of the vote in a two party system you get electoral chaos - small movements lead to huge changes in seats. We need PR. ⁦@CompassOffice⁩ ⁦@MakeVotesMatter⁩ ⁦@UnlockDemocracy⁩ ⁦⁦@electoralreform⁩

Last year I was commissioned by the UK ministry of housing to write a report on the demand side-drivers of the housing affordability crisis.
After some election-related delays, here it is. (1/13)

Public media doesn't need vacuous "viewers' champions", it needs genuine democratisation that puts the public in charge over and above political delegates.

Ideas like this are as big a threat to the BBC's future as commercialisation and funding cuts were under the last gov.
