Real ale slurper. Becoming increasingly like Victor Meldrew everyday.. All views expressed are my own.

The gravy train continues.

Failed former CEO of Ofwat, David Black has reappeared at a consultancy company called BRG where he will "Advise firms and investors across regulated industries as they navigate shifting regulatory frameworks".

His boss? No less than former head of regulation at Thames Water one Colm Gibson.

As @PrivateEyeNews would say "Trebles all round". Well actually that's exactly what they did say. ��👇👇

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

Nigel Farage - the leader of Reform UK - is under investigation for failing to declare a £5 million 'gift'.

Please RT this until the BBC gives this story the same level of blanket coverage - as it would for the leader of any other UK political Party.

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

The British media is doing everything it can to make this mendacious, corrupt, incompetent, lazy, security risk the PM. Ask yourselves why? Why do they want that so badly, who benefits? It's not going to be the British people.

Follow the money, always follow the money.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!

About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!

It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

A leaked document reveals Palantir staff are being granted “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data.

Great to see @bbcquestiontime producing another Reform promo 2night from Dover re immigration. I thought cost of living & Hillsboro cover up inquiry more pertinent this week? But hey, I don’t work for r national broadcaster.

@Patrici89225734 His "judgement" is still online and was front page for yesterday and most of today. https://t.co/2fDaHsGqEf If the BBC is going down the same road as GB News offering opinions then they can be funded like GBNEWS.

It's raining today, which reminds me of this technique for reducing antisocial behavior.

@YeomanSally @VSNWnews @HSHVCA Inspiring speech, delivered with humour, making fundamental points about how we move the voluntary sector forward.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Mentioning United Utilities can anyone explain how a company can double its profits in just one year, from £170m to £355m, and yet is still be allowed to increase prices by a whopping 32%?

Yet again it's the customers who get played and the regulator @Ofwat sits back and allows it to happen.

🚨Breaking 🚨
This is corporate extortion!

Govt bans unfair bonuses - the water bosses threaten to put up salaries. 🤑

Govt imposes fines - the investors baulk and say they want a polluter's charter. 💩

Stop this game of regulatory cat and mouse. Public ownership NOW!

[Teresa Crawford🇬🇧 🇺🇦 #FBPE @TeresaC123]

Just imagine what all those reform supporters/bots would be tweeting if this was Keir Starmer in top hat at Ascot.
Nigel Farage is not a man of the people, does not represent the working class, don't be fooled.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: An old video of Donald Trump is going viral for claiming then President Barack Obama will “start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” Sounds like a message to himself!

[Good Law Project @GoodLawProject]

We spent years doggedly uncovering the government’s cronyism during the pandemic, including Michelle Mone's dodgy dealings.

Now she’s facing the High Court.
About time.
