90% of countries in the world can own their water but not us. People in England want their water back. But the government is protecting private water profiteers.

It’s time to give the public a say. @Feargal_Sharkey wants you stand up and be counted. Sign the petition: https://t.co/NdwoKq7k3o

In Finland school meals are free for all children until the age of 16.

In Japan, only qualified nutritionists are allowed to prepare and serve school meals.

Meanwhile in the UK, we’re arguing about whether kids deserve to be fed at all.

FREE school meals for all children!

Henry Nowak's mother has said:

"We are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. We want his memory to help bring our society together."

And there you have it.

@Keir_Starmer Something that should be championed for all big sporting events. My elderly disabled father cant watch the Ryder cup, European football, the Ashes etc etc. as he doesn’t have subscription channels. Big sporting events should be accessible not pricing people out of the market.

@piersmorgan @_DeclanRice Saying ‘ridiculous’ is ridiculous!! I think @_DeclanRice is a great player and should have been in contention but your criteria is off. Accept graciously that others have rightly judged @B_Fernandes8 as their vote this year. And well deserved in my view.

A message to Naga and the @BBCBreakfast editorial team.

Journalism is not about bullying, it is about having a cultured and polite conversation, using your craft to get answers to uncomfortable questions.

For months now, I have watched you Naga drown in your own ego, seeming to think that abusing people, particularly from the Labour Party, is brilliant work. It is not.

Look at your colleague from Sky, @KamaliMelbourne

He hasn't forgotten that journalism is in service to the citizens, and he delivers it without abuse or displaying his own emotions.

Thank you, Kamali, for your professionalism, it is a pleasure to watch and listen to you.

And @SteveReedMP well done on the immense patience with Naga and control you maintain.

Definitively, your government must do something about the state of the media.

Been a fan of @AndyBurnhamGM as Major of my favourite city - done a good job in tough times. Not a great look jumping ship now. And I’m not in favour of further national political upheaval when there are still 3 years to get things right. @UKLabour needs to stop self destructing

[Julie Cooper 💜 @julescooper1]

PLEASE just let him get on with delivering the massive agenda we have instead of this week upon week of ‘breaking news’ ‘create a drama’ nonsense. I’m so sick of sound bite journalism. This stuff is just not serious. There’s plenty that is! War, cost of living, environment etc

[Cherry @Cherryopenmind]

Although no PM has ever resigned due to local election results, although he still holds a huge majority of councillors, and although 70% of the manifesto has already been achieved which the media persistently ignore they have exploited all of this regardless of how it will affect the stock market and the cost of living.

Tomorrow, feel free to hold them accountable because THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MEDIA IS HUGE.

We are witnessing a manufactured crisis where 80% of our media is in foreign ownership, serving agendas that have nothing to do with the stability of the UK.
If you want proof of how this machinery operates, look at Patrick Hurleys experience. He was ready to speak about stability, yet he was cancelled because the national broadcasters were explicitly looking for someone to demand the Prime Ministers resignation.

This is not journalism. It is an active intervention by those who find Starmer a threat to their plans.

The playbook is identical to the one used against Theresa May. This investigative piece by @BylineTimes reveals how external figures like Bannon and Epstein were pulling the strings then, and the same dark money and media manipulation are at work now:

Democracy is a delicate creature, but a living one. If we do not feed it with its own rules and instead allow the media to manufacture coups, it slowly dies.

Loyalty and honour are for the rare few, and it is time we demand them back in our politics.

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

If Labour MPs detonate this government, the calls for an early general election will be immediate.

Reform will claim that whoever succeeds Starmer will be illegitimate, because they didn’t win the election.

The media will hound them, as relentlessly as they have Starmer, and the cycle continues.

This all plays into Reform’s hands. It’s exactly what they want.

[Julie Cooper 💜 @julescooper1]

@PreetKGillMP The @UKLabour are playing straight into the msm and @reformparty_uk hands. They’ve been trying for months to get here and will carry on even if @Keir_Starmer goes. Don’t fall for it. You’ve a mandate. Our system does not expect PM to change like the poor example set by Tories

[Julie Cooper 💜 @julescooper1]

@implausibleblog Water next PLEASE!!

[Julie Cooper 💜 @julescooper1]

@TheRealJamieKay Put constructive energy into protesting against the water companies, the state of social care (propped up by immigrants actually ironically), skills training and support for the future, for young and old improved transport infrastructure and housing. The core of our wellbeing

[Heather Jeeves 🇪🇺 @HeatherJeeves]

I think Labour need an attack dog who gets the message out and pushes back on second rate journalists. Stop being so polite!

Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB:
----
Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor?
Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve.
Got rubbish piling up? Email them.
Bus vanished from existence? Email them.
Streetlights dead? Email them.
Care package delayed? Email them.
Pavement like the Somme? Email them.
Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is.
Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes.
Welcome to local government.
The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward.
The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated.
Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

@adamkeys_ Yawn 🥱. Declan Rice seems a decent human being & great footballer, had a good season. Wish him well in his career for Arsenal and England. But your criteria or these don’t mean he’s Player of the Season! Bruno worthy winner. 💯 stats prove it. Plus he’s ’our player’ 😁 #mufc

[An Unimportant Officer @UnimportantO]

We must stop treating Prime Ministers like football managers. They’ve our trickiest problems to solve, in budget, buffered by global affairs beyond their control. They need time, replacing PMs between General Elections (unless they’ve broken the law/ethics rules) is self harm.

[Trevor McArdle @McardleTrevor]

Oh, the irony

As I watch the celebrations for David Attenborough’s 100th birthday

As the British public celebrate, and acknowledge, his advocacy for our planet

His fight to save us from Global Warming

Save us from ourselves

The UK votes for a fossil-fuel funded Reform toad

Hey Keir. You will never read this. I’m just a tiny press photog account. I’ll write it anyway. No, you shouldn’t resign. Yes, you should get on with the job you were elected for. But do meet with Greens & Libdems, they are not your enemy - fight together against the far right.
