The evidence continues to roll in from across the UK. Water privatisation has been a complete failure.

There is a new, highly profitable asset class in England, traded between corporations, whose units are each worth £100,000 on the books. What are these units? Children in care.

As the #covidinquiryuk turned to care settings this is a stark reminder of how badly those in care were affected. Unless you sat the wrong side of a window staring at your loved ones it is very hard to explain #Stilllockedaway #GloriasLaw #RightsForResidents

🗣️ "When it comes to British domestic politics, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - that matters as much as this," says @AndrewMarr9 on @LBC.

We agree.

💼 It's time for our politicians to provide answers on how they will address #UKPoverty.
