South East Water left thousands of homes in Kent without access to water on the hottest days of the year so far. Yet another shocking example of the failure of privatisation.
Given the scale of the crisis in the water sector, a purely regulatory approach is like putting a complaints box on the Titanic.
Public ownership is the only real solution, as I told the Water Minister in parliament yesterday.
A fairer economy requires credible choices on policy priorities and trade-offs, including in difficult areas such as social care, pensions and migration.
I explored this with @WomensBudgetGrp's Daniella Jenkins and Susan Himmelweit at @CompassOffice’s conference last week.
Ordinary people have been getting poorer while the rich have gotten richer.
To truly speak to people who have been left behind, we must call out the real problem: inequality and greed.

Every political party guards its internal meetings. Journalists spend careers trying to get inside them.

🎙️When former Danish Minister for Culture @uffeelbaek founded the @alternativet_ , he wanted to shape *how* politics was done not just what policies were pursued.
Would you join a party like that?

It was fantastic for COLA to be represented at #ChangeNOW this weekend, speaking to so many people about our policy platform and displaying our craftivism work, outlining the reality of the cost of living crisis.
Thanks to all involved for a great day.
