Can you take 2 mins to respond to Ofwat's consultation to demand they BLOCK the water bill hike. If water companies can't survive without hiking our bills, let them go bust and bring them into public ownership. Deadline: midnight Thurs 24th Sept weownit.org.uk/NoBillHike

Ofwat: No to water bills hike, let them go bust - Respond by midnight on Thursday 24th September

I've seen better football at St James Park, but there was a moment today when my 15 year old, half-Spanish son was belting out a word- perfect Blaydon Races with me, and I thought of going to games with my grandad, and my eyes got a bit moist and that's what it's really all about in the end. #nufc
