Your regular reminder that not a single new reservoir has been built in England since privatisation. Water companies have increased our bills above the rate of inflation and made 10s of billions in profit.

A reminder that Infantino said in 2017 that all qualified teams, their fans and officials, need to have access to a host country, otherwise it can't host. There are already numerous (predictable) US visa issues with the World Cup about to kick off and likely more to come.

A Wes Streeting led government is actually scarier than a Starmer one... Streeting has been giving away - not even selling !! - the NHS & our data to Palantir He's funded by the private health lobby

Phillipson says the govt needs to get on delivering for people, and she mentions social housing How many council houses is the govt building? Its a tiny amount, & unless you end Right to Buy, which you're refusing to do, the total number of council houses is actually going down!

Even by Labour's sickeningly disgusting attitude towards vulnerable individuals, this is a new low by Mahmood. Under no possible criteria could Afghanistan be classed as safe. Labour has already prevented Afghans from seeking asylum. This compounds the inhumanity. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Shabana Mahmood refuses to rule out sending back failed Afghan asylum seekers

Home secretary indicates Whitehall talks about returns programme, a move that would shock humanitarian groups

📍 Wirral coastal walk. Beautiful. Shame the public toilets are closed & being sold off. An increasingly inaccessible country

One day we publish the never ending list of men in academia / left commentariat who literally rip off (particularly early career) women’s ideas. They are so brazen it’s almost not believable. And it’s SO common.

A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts. Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir. This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Influencers in Dubai are now waxing lyrical about delivery drivers being the “unsung heroes” as they delivered their coffees / salads during attacks…couldn’t make this stuff up

British entrepreneurs Moved to Dubai to avoid UK tax ✅ Spread lies about immigration whilst in another country ✅ Demand we, the tax payer, pay for their evacuation ✅

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Can get Pizza Express WiFi as going through Manchester but not @eastmidsrailway.bsky.social WiFi on the train. Fantastic country

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Reform are finding their anti migrant & divisive rhetoric is not working anymore. I think people are sick of it and want solutions.. Farage doesn't have any of those solutions because he pretends to be a man of the people but he's a man of the wealthy people.."🎯

The level of dirt thrown against Zack Polanski and Hannah Spencer this week from the Gutter Press and from Labour/Reform was unbelievable. And for what crime? Just wanting to make Britain a better place to live. But in the end it did not work. Shows there is still hope in this world

Reform & Labour uniting over a sad attempt to pull a Trumpian January 6th because they both lost a race only they could win. Both parties now spreading overt Islamophobia through claims of “family voting” - which is going unchallenged by mainstream media of course.

Many examples we can give folk on streets as to why Reform are purely a party for big businesses & the wealthiest, this is one of the clearest: www.bigissue.com/news/housing...

Reform UK plans to scrap Renters' Rights Act spark fury

Reform UK has pledged to scrap the Renters' Rights Act if the party secures power. It has angered renters waiting for no-fault eviction ban.

☀️Sunshine really is the best disinfectant. For too long royal FOI exemptions have allowed royal power to act in the shadows, and conceal important truths from MPs, the press, and the public. They must be removed to tackle this systemic corruption.

Genuine question: is there a single pledge Starmer's Labour government haven't broken? As in, actually followed through with earnestly & in full

BREAKING: ‘We can't fix everything at once' On #BBCBreakfast Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson was asked whether the Government will review Plan 2 student loans taken out by nearly six million graduates between 2012 and 2023

Bridget Phillipson: "We shouldn't lose sight of the young women who suffered.." Every cabinet minister, including Phillipson, knew Mandelson had stayed at Epsteins house after he was convicted & none of them spoke out publicly when he was appointed. Where was this concern then?
