People have had enough of Elon Musk interfering with our country’s democracy when he clearly knows nothing about Britain.

It’s time to summon the US ambassador to ask why an incoming US official is suggesting the UK government should be overthrown.

@davidyelland We should remind ourselves of this Spittinv Image classic

@elonmusk Stop spreading lies and disinformation. You have destroyed the economic case for this platform and you won’t recover it by resorting to anti democratic dialogue.

Stay out of Britain’s affairs.

@NicholasTyrone No sensible able Tory wants to ruin their career running in London - where the electorate is generally anti-Brexit, NOT anti-immigration, culturally diverse and left of most Tory policy. So all they can do is snipe from the sidelines.

@EssexPR Let’s rejoin the EU and VAT on education would be removed. 👍🏻

Oh what a surprise, Farage is being an enormous hypocrite once again.

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders.

At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.

Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns.

Privatisation is a scam.

"Water bill rises announced today will be spent on paying off the debt of water companies. Debt got simply by paying dividends that were unearned and bonuses that were undeserved."

@christopherhope @GBNEWS Both - WaterCos wouldn’t need to raise bills if they had invested in their infrastructure over the last 30 years instead of taking out huge loans to pay shareholder dividends and then having to fund the interest and capital repayments from Consumer bills.

[Paul Lewis @paullewismoney]

Water bills to rise 20% (£86) plus inflation in April and then above inflation for the next four years. @Ofwat gives private water companies in England the go-ahead to make customers pay for the investment they have failed to do for 30 years while enriching shareholders and bosses

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Think we've located the source of the UK's financial black hole 👇

[Nick Gray @nckgry]

@Haggis_UK 🤦🏻‍♂️. The definition of insanity by Ofwat. The price rise will all go to fund dividends and interest on loans taken out to pay dividends. Why do they not learn?

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK groups:

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK:

"If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."
