Energy prices are expected to go up again in October, more than the VAT cut.
In France Energy prices are 60% of the UK.
Because they are nationalised and it is sold at cost, not with vast profits added onto it.
Thames Water leaked the equivalent of 227 Olympic swimming pools a day last year.
That's far more than any hosepipe ban will save.
It's time to put investment before profit and return water companies to public ownership.
It's Day 1 of Andy Burnham being Prime Minister & Donald Trump is celebrating the destruction of our planet.
Meanwhile Spain doubled it's renewables - before they had some of the highest bills in Europe and now some of the lowest bills.
Labour need to stop appealing to Trump.
Charlie Stayt, "You said Andy Burnham is too in hock to vested interests to deliver real change. You haven't given him a chance, have you, he hasn't even started?"
Zack Polanski, "If he does do the right things I'll be the first to applaud him"
"He's appointed James Purnell as chief of staff. This is a man who is a corporate lobbyist for private water companies"
"When we have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege, this doesn't seem a good start"
"Then we know Josh Simons hired a private investigator to look into a journalist who was talking about undeclared donations for Labour Together"
"And finally, the only substantial thing he's voted on as an MP in the last week, is to support Shabana Mahmood's regressive immigration reforms. Including asking asylum seekers to review their cases every 30 months. That's deeply inhumane for people fleeing war and persecution"
"Andy Burnham might surprise me and move in a more progressive direction and I'd really welcome that"
"But the rumours of appointing Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, a politician who cites Margaret Thatcher as one of her political heroes"
"This doesn't sound like we're moving in a direction to end ripoff Britain, it looks like more of the same"
It's amazing, in the UK a handful of rich people steal £10bn, it's 'wasted' with 'honest mistakes' lets just forget about it.
Someone steals some nappies, that's a dangerous thief needs to go straight to jail.
The people in charge need to go to jail, they are the real criminals
Since privatisation in 1989, Thames Water has made £7,000,000,000 in profit enriching share holders.
That £7,000,000,000 could have been invested rather than syphoned off.
Nationalise water. Now.
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity andhappiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
So do Sony realize that when they drop a 1500 dollar PS6 with no physical discs to collect that everyone is just going to get PC and Steam because it’s the superior digital option or are they just really that fucking stupid
Bills up.
Wages too low.
Record profits for Oil & Gas.
50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.
Shit in our rivers.
Pensioners jailed for protesting.
Migrants thrown under the bus.
Supporting a Genocide.
That's Starmer's legacy.
Whatever the result, we badly need a party that is willing to redistribute wealth and power.
A party that will nationalise our public services, tax the super rich and call a genocide exactly what it is.
And that's the Green Party.

🚨 NEW: Green MP Hannah Spencer says Labour is "out of touch" after the Gambling Minister said she would like to see the betting sector grow
"An industry that relies on people's misery to grow needs action against it, not encouragement"
Pretty wild that answering a question like this on Twitter could get you years in prison on terrorism charges.
Even wilder that a UK MP is deliberately trying to bait people into doing it.
When did our gov get so blatantly authoritarian?
The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties.
This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.
