Amazon UK pulled in £8.2bn revenue and even reported £355m in profit.
But they didn't pay ANY tax.
The reason you have to pay so much, is because they don't pay any.
These are the planned Data Centres for Scotland alone!
The average centre consumes up to 5 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY which is why they want to locate them to water rich Scotland.
Look what’s been built in Cardiff for swifts. My niece sent me these photos and said the structure was alive with birds. Heartening to see. It’s shaped like a swift in flight I think. Other towns have created similar swift nest sites including Exeter. Thank you for caring.
Too many people follow and repost @PolitlcsUK thinking it’s a neutral news site.
IT IS NOT.
It’s run by Reform councillor Bailey Nash Gordon. 👇
It’s far right propaganda
Today I raised an urgent question in parliament about the systemic failures in the water sector.
The constants disasters of privatised water are not the symptoms of market failure. This is the market working as designed: profits out, sewage in, cost of living up, security of supply, decimated. You can no more regulate privatised water companies than you can the tide.
So I asked the Minister for Water: how many more failures, how many more inquiries, how many more deaths - before the Government accepts these problems are systemic – and gives the public the option of taking their water back?
i wish more people understood how inflation works.
prices aren’t supposed to go back to what they were before.
once they go up, they usually stay up.
the only way most people avoid falling behind is if their wages grow too.
meanwhile every time someone suggests higher pay, we’re told it’s the reason everything is expensive.
funny how prices keep rising even when wages don’t.
Truer words never said. 👏👏👏
Privatisation of the water industry has been a fraud, the greatest act of criminality ever perpetrated against the people of England and Wales.

"Capita took over the civil servant pension scheme 6 months ago..."
Why are parasitical private companies like Capita allowed anywhere near the public sector? We need to kick out the profiteers & end all outsourcing.
The biggest inditement of Capitalism is that for the last 20 years everything has gotten worse and more expensive while the richest have gone from billionaires to trillionaires.
The only thing Capitalism works for is the richest, and the only people who work, are you.
Food prices could rise 170% by 2050 due to the climate crisis.
People are already struggling to put food on the table while farmers and workers can't make ends meet.
We need urgent action.

🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!
She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!
Curse of private equity
Horrific, unregulated, and very profitable. Companies making cash from England’s children in care.
Average charge to the state by a private provider for a child in “care” is £384,020 a year, some charge £1m+.
End privatisation.

I love this account. 🙌
Imagine having your work stolen in order to benefit something that then reduces your future work opportunities. It’s appalling!
If you can spare a couple of quid to help @5By5Creativity set up a small publishing press, it would be hugely appreciated.
He's taking the entire country for fools — aided and abetted by our shameful media.
Now he's doing it from a hiding place and not making himself available to answer questions — it's been six weeks.
He's supposed to be a public servant, meaning that he can be held to account, but our lax Parliamentary rules say that he never has to turn up to his job if he doesn't want.
Far from being a party to change the system, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are experts in milking it for all it's worth.
How many houses does he really have? Nine Houses Nigel?
I'm certain Laura Kuenssberg will be all over his corruption when she is shouted at by Zia Yusuf later. 🤦♂️

If anything demonstrates the neglect we have seen from government after government over the last 40 years it this figure...

Lawyer Peter Stefanovic - whose political films have been watched over a billion times - breaks down Reform's Great Repeal Act line by line: strip day one sick pay, legalise fire and rehire, lift zero-hours protections, repeal the Renters' Rights Act, abolish the Equality Act, and leave the ECHR.
He also notes that almost half of Britons believe net migration has increased when it's fallen 48% to 171,000.
His conclusion: if the media explained Reform's policies, nobody would support them.
