We said we’d ban bonuses for water bosses who pollute our rivers, lakes and seas.

That’s exactly what we’re doing.

Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@marulier Looking good Fred, hoping to see it for real again in April.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United.

That is how the UK works, you pay tax, the big people don't, and they get richer and richer, and RICHER.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is reportedly nervous that if everyone boycotts Tesla stock he’ll have to default on all his loans collateralized by the stock value, and he’ll be penniless in days.

Stand for long term peace in Gaza. Folk in Ullapool have been gathering for 5 mins silence at midday Sunday for the past year - rain or shine. Very moving experience.

Translation. Money is tight, therefore we will take it from the most vulnerable members of society rather than making the wealthy pay their fair share. Those who have the least should always give up the most. @stephenctimms

🚨 Farmer’s daughter Jenny Hall has gone missing in Durham after going for a run.

A major search continues today with specialised sniffer dogs being used in the area around Jenny's last known location where her car was parked, on the B6278 between Stanhope and Eggleston.

Amazing news! French MPs this week voted for a wealth tax on the ultra-rich.

It would introduce a 2% tax on any wealth over €100 million

A wealth tax on the super-rich is exactly what we need here.

And it's what I'm campaigning for. Join thousands of others and sign up below.

Just outrageous - nearly £4 billion "excess profit" pocketed by privatised energy networks while YOUR bills went up

Energy transmission and distribution is a natural monopoly and other countries recognise this

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW ⚡️��

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.

If Thames Water is doing so badly that it needs to borrow three billion quid at credit card interest rates just to keep going, what's the justification for the chief exec's £15k pay rise?

A tale of 2 Chancellors
One earnt an estimated
£20M pounds from the sale of shares + "forgot" to declare the income. If he didn't forget it would be considered a very serious matter!
The other one claimed £45 on expenses SEVENTEEN years ago

Do you see what's happening here ?

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

[Tom Murtha. Retired. @tomemurtha]

It’s not the BBC’s investigation into the minor misdemeanours of the chancellor that’s the problem. It the failure to do the same into the corruption and lies of almost every senior Conservative politician for the last 14 years. That is the nature of its bias. #R4SD #BBCBreakfast

What is Chris Mason investigating this week?

Thames Water wants to raise your bills again. I’ve got a better idea: bring them into public ownership!
