People are fed up with privatised water companies letting us down and ripping us off. We deserve a real conversation about public ownership. Can you help build pressure by asking your MP to attend this crucial debate on water ownership? actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

We Own It@weownit.org.uk · 5d ago

Imagine UEFA's statement about FIFA's plans to sell off the World Cup, but replace all the references to FOOTBALL with WATER Can you now see the absurdity of water privatisation? Andy Burnham has called the FIFA president to go. But our water is still in private hands: vist.ly/5d5x8

The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in water, water changes forever. Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the infrastructure, every decision on sewage dumping and every decision shaping the future of water is no longer driven by what best serves the public, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in water. Britain's future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of households, communities and the environment become surordinate to investor returns. Britain cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. The public.'s position is clear. We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation.

With the prospect of more suicidal oil drilling, and unlimited £billions for 'defence' it looks like Burnham has chosen the genocidal, war economy instead of green #TaxTheRich welfare "'Try-again’ PM Burnham lauds nukes and militarism during BAE visit" www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

'Try-again' PM Burnham lauds nukes and militarism during BAE visit

New BAE-cheering Prime Minister Andy Burnham's left-wing credentials have lasted about as long as left-out milk, so far

Dystopia alert - a subgroup of humanity is destroying our shared heritage - read and weep: “Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world,” an internal planning document said. “We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.” novaramedia.com/2026/07/29/a...

AI Firms Are Buying up Old Books, Then Scanning and Destroying Them

The world’s biggest AI companies are buying antiquarian books en masse so they can be scanned to train their large language models (LLMs) before being destroyed.

Well @simonlightwood.org.uk - have you signed to support calls for an official government #EmergencyBriefing? The world is on fire - even @labouruk.bsky.social must have noticed by now. Recognising a burning world as an emergency is how you distinguish yourselves from Reform. Nationally AND locally

National Emergency Briefing@nebriefing.bsky.social · 6d ago

We think informing the public about the threats that affect them is a fundamental requirement in a healthy democracy. Please ask your MP to support the Parliamentary Call for government to stage a televised emergency briefing on the climate & nature crisis. #NationalEmergencyBriefing #TimeToStepUp

I was not informed by the BBC that they would have a right wing political figure or lobbyist on after me to rebut what I said. The individual in question went on to spout lies about China, etc. to distract attention from the Trump administration's assault on climate action. This is unacceptable.

Michael E. Mann@michaelemann.bsky.social · 6d ago

I'll be on BBC News television TODAY ~3:40pm ET (8:40pm London local time) to discuss--what else---the climate change-fueled weather extremes we're seeing around the world this summer. Please join me: www.bbc.com/live

It’s time to dispel the myth of “clean” natural gas. ❌ CCI’s new report exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing natural gas was a climate solution, despite knowing that it is a significant source of air pollution and a major contributor to climate change.

The Fraud of “Clean” Natural Gas | Center for Climate Integrity

How Big Oil and Gas Created the Myth that Natural Gas is a Climate Solution

How a 1996 study on methane emissions from natural gas—published by the gas industry in partnership with the U.S. EPA—allowed the oil and gas industry to fend off emissions regulations, cement the myth of “clean” natural gas, and pave the way for the 2000s fracking boom. 👀
