When England's water companies were privatised in 1991 they were debt free

Since then they accumulated debt of more than £50bn

Over the same period they paid out £57bn in dividends to shareholders

Raw sewage pumped into the sea and rivers

And not one new reservoir.

Swathes of the U.K. *voted* for economic decline. They literally boasted about doing so. It was a small price to pay for blue passports & ill-informed notions of ‘sovereignty’, remember?

All involved with dodgy VIP lanes should go to jail.

“In the Brexit negotiations, the idea of national humiliation moved from fiction to reality. There was a strange ecstasy of shame: ‘Britain faces a terrible choice: between the humiliation of a deal dictated by Brussels; and the chaos of crashing out of the EU.”

Pretty sickening to see universities with big surpluses - and therefore clearly the ability to pay staff better and settle the dispute - threatening the most draconian deductions.

Shame on @UniOfYork

Our #RightToStrike is under attack as the Gov tries to push through new legislation.

Join the emergency rally in Westminster to say: REJECT and REPEAL the Strikes Bill!✊

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of May 20, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

@Arron_banks Brexit is simply the freedom to be forced to comply with EU legislation in order to trade with our closest neighbours, rather than actually having a role in defining that legislation.

Germany's car manufacturers have diversified very quickly away from the UK.

We now make up less than 8% of their export market, down from 14% around 2016.

They need us much less than before.

If you want to know why the Tory extreme right really wanted Brexit, just have a read-up about Freeports.
This is a money laundering scandal waiting to happen.
Meanwhile, in the EU...

.@Nutrisystem, we know that you're no stranger to weight loss. As such, it's time for you shed the dead weight that is the #BrandUnsafe @CNN. Stop supporting a company that's willing to platform Trump, a person who bloats the public discourse with his lies and insults. #WeSeeYou

Really excited to see this work from @ArtSpectrometry on bioRxiv! It was fun calculating massive combinations of glycans. Glycosylation is crazy...

The news that car manufacturer Stellantis is considering leaving the UK isn’t a problem for just one company.

If Ministers don’t fix the EU trade deal and get a grip of our industrial strategy for electric vehicle manufacturing in the UK, it’ll mean other companies leave too.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

UCEA continues to use financial pressures faced by a few, as a pretext to refuse to pay staff across the sector a fair share, all while failing to lobby government for a fairer funding model.

This dispute isn’t about affordability, it’s about choices.
