The BBC is describing the people who gave Nazi salutes on the streets of Southampton as 'protestors' rather than fascists. But the gesture rather suggests they are not fully fledged supporters of liberal democracy.
We ALREADY HAVE public control of water and energy
Control = regulation
Government sets the rules, bills, service level
Ownership = profits reinvested, accountability
@NilsPratley is right, Burnham should be clear
"Go all-in" on public ownership

Today, I stated that Israel's actions in Lebanon amount to war crimes.
The Minister accepted my assessment.
The govt must set out the steps it will take to ensure the UK does not aid or assist the commissioning of Israel's war crimes.
.@Peston : Shouldn’t they just be banned?
@MartinSLewis : Yes, of course!
Financial Journalist and Broadcaster @MartinSLewis says ‘the solution is simple’ and that we should ban mid-contract price hikes for mobile and broadband

My urgent question on Lebanon was accepted by the Speaker today.
In it I pressed the Minister for the Middle East on what the UK was doing to support a meaningful ceasefire in Lebanon, press the Israeli Security Cabinet to stop its illegal offensive and occupation in Lebanon, and work with partners to advance multilateral plans to disarm Hezbollah.

Jeremy Scahill from @DropSiteNews: "What makes it more likely [Iran would pursue nuclear weapons] is the fact they're being attacked by 2 nuclear powers.. no-one ever talks about the fact that its Israel that does have nuclear weapons"
"The fact the British government takes that position and then continues to lend support to an open genocide being waged by an indicted war criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu tells you everything you need to know about this."

For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.
Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.
Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.
Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).
Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.

This is not World War II footage.
This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.
A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.
There is no excuse for this. None.
Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.
And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.
And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."
Andy Burnham is talking about taking water into public ownership over 10 years
Thames Water is a complete mess. It needs to come into public hands NOW.
Others also have abysmal records of sewage and dividends.
So 10 years of sewage? 10 years of dividends? 10 years of water cuts? NOT GOOD ENOUGH
37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.
Like him or loathe him but, on this particular matter, Keir Starmer is 100% correct.
Farage’s response yesterday shows us ‘exactly who he is’… a rage-bating racist with no respect nor conscience.
His followers refuse to see it… which tells you all you need to know about them.
"My personal pride and joy." That's how Peter Mandelson described the Palantir deal he brokered.
The whole thing stinks. Kick Palantir out of our NHS, now.
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.
