On this #PoisonedPlanet we need water companies acting for the public good, not private profit. The case for bringing them back into public control has never been stronger. The #Privatisation disaster has to end #PFAS #PublicHealth

Households are being ripped off. And small tweaks won’t cut it. It's time to bring bills down for good. End profiteering by energy giants. Insulate millions of homes. Decouple the price of gas from electricity. Invest in renewable energy.

🧵1/ Very grateful to @graceblakeley.substack.com for this guest blog on how promoters of carbon capture and storage (CCS) are trying to give Andy #Burnham a deceptively neat-looking get-out-of-jail-free card to drill Rosebank and Jackdaw. This thread explains its flawed carbon accounting

No new North Sea drilling - with or without CCS substack.com/home/post/p-...

Fed up with people shirking responsibility by arguing that the UK causes just 1% of emissions? Here are two fantastic analogies from a primary school teacher, Mark in Coventry, who called Sheila Fogerty on @lbc.co.uk - one involving dog poo 😆 Other arguments here: www.nebriefing.org/mp-dialogue

Is it "pragmatic" to approve new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea that could cost between £119 billion to £336 billion in climate damage? Sounds more like climate and economic vandalism.

When Burnham launched his campaign to become MP for Makerfield he said "There's £39bn allocated over a 10 year period... I'm saying that should be dedicated to council homes". Today Burnham backtracked on this proposal to dedicate housing funds for social homes.

A new record has been set for the number of children living in temporary accommodation. A total disgrace. We need new council housing and FAST. The PM must fund councils to buy the supply of existing homes, and get these 177,530 children settled and safe. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

Fund Councils to Buy the Supply of Council Homes

We urgently need to replenish our decimated council housing stock, and part of the answer is real funding for councils to Buy the Supply. Over 169,000 children are homeless and living in overcrowded…

We don’t want private companies profiting from the NHS + we don’t want Palantir involved. We don’t want to insurance-based healthcare like the US, where a cancer diagnosis could mean bankruptcy. Healthcare is a human right. Keep our NHS public.

So moving to see real results for children so quickly from the London ULEZ 👏💚 Let us never forget what a political knife edge this policy faced before it came in. We need a new national Clean Air Act - Ella’s Law - to reduce health risks from air pollution everywhere. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

100,000 people now signed the petition for the government to stage a televised emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis, introduced by the PM and delivered by independent experts. The debate should be prioritised for when Parliament reconvenes on 1st Sept. It's #TimeToStepUp

Southern Water was fined £20m for lying in 2008; in 2021 £90m for deliberately pumping raw sewage into the sea. Now a fraud case. Why trust any private company with our precious water? Put them in public hands! www.brightonandhovenews.org/2026/07/22/s...

While Burnham fails to act on the climate crisis and Reform outright denies it, the Daily Mail spreads misinformation about the tragic wildfires we're facing. Only the Green Party will seriously tackle climate change. Nationalise water. Invest in renewables. Climate action now.
