1989: Margaret Thatcher, "Water privatisation I believe will go very successfully indeed. It will go very successfully indeed"

2026: BBC News, "Both terminals at the UK's second busiest airport, Gatwick, are without running water.. Toilets can't be flushed"

Bonus clip, Neil Kinnock in 1989, "When is the Conservative government going to stop asset stripping the country?"

Hi @andyburnham any answer to Neil KInnock's question? Are we renationalising water companies any time soon?

Elon Musk says Italians should stay in Italy and the Japanese in Japan.

Then why the hell is this White European South African in North America?

The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️

Is the UK worse off because of Brexit? Ten years on since the Brexit referendum, we've looked at this question in detail. The video is produced by Katerina Karelli - and it's longer than our usual explainers. I hope you find it helpful.

🚨 TRUMP SPARKS DIPLOMATIC CRISIS WITH ITALY: Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled his planned June 21–22 trip to Washington after President Trump insulted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, claiming she “begged” for a photo with him at the G7 and that he “felt sorry for her.”

Meloni released a video firing back at Trump’s comments, calling them “completely fabricated.”

“I am frankly appalled,” she said. “I don’t know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies.”

She added that Trump appears to show more accommodation toward “the enemies of the West” than America’s allies and concluded by saying: “Italy and I never beg.”

I’m living for Thangam Debbonaire losing her shit after being incessantly interrupted by Sarah Pochin and then utterly bodying her.

No notes.

Have not been able to get this poor Ugandan nurse out of my head...

I've tracked down where we can donate to help her rebuild her life and show her we care

You can donate here: https://t.co/nH7QAHkxuR

Please help her if you can.

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.

I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

@Nigel_Farage He’s stopping the Epstein files being investigated and you wish him happy birthday???
Farage doesn’t protect women he protects the Epstein class.

Obama: "It's a reminder that on a lot of different foreign policy problems, the notion we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solution may sometimes seem appealing ... You'd think we would've learned that lesson by now, but it seems like every so often we have to learn that lesson again."

🙈 This bloke is determined to keep being ripped off by the same conman.

He wanted to stop people coming here, so he voted for Farage’s Brexit.

Now, despite Farage pocketing £5m and Brexit causing migration to rocket 🚀 he still believes in him.
