Folk replying to this post are being very negative about the over-exposure of Reform UK on the BBC. Looking forward to hearing Nigel put them in their place when he appears on 'Question Time' later this week. 😉

Number crunching: Royal Mail From the latest Private Eye, out now.

Then maybe don’t send him to bloody boarding school… #Cruelty

Oh, MAGA is going to lose its ever-hating shit over this campaign ad. Fucking GOOD. Cry harder, Bitches.🖕

ISRAEL HAS TAKEN OVER OUR GOVERNMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENTS… Francesca explains why the destruction of evidence, the killing of witnesses, and the removal of physical traces raise profound questions about accountability and the international community's obligations. 🎯💯🤬🎯💯🤬🎯💯🤬🎯💯🤬

Wow. Vučić has conceded Serbian election. Massive moment for the entire Balkans

Great to see on the front of the Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun.* 'The no. of young people admitted to London hospitals after knife attacks is down 55% since Sadiq Khan launched a Violence Reduction Unit, with London falling faster than the rest of England.' *Joke www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/y...

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

Can Trump supporters define communism? Here's a sneak peek at @jordanklepper.bsky.social’s new special, Red Flags, premiering Monday at 11:30/10:30c on Comedy Central.

Not worth the paper it’s written on.

I thought he was going to drain the swamp?

The top 1% emit more than the poorest 66%. The richest 100 companies are linked to 71% of emissions. This is not about "humanity" failing. It's about a tiny minority profiting.

The biggest benefits claimant in the UK. They claim an eye watering £17,500,000,000 a year. The same as 4.4m people on benefits. How? Because they claim ALL their costs, every wage, every oil rig, every tanker. Completely nationalised, but the profits are Privatised.

Public ownership of water is way better than privatisation. Here's why. Andy Burnham MUST block the Thames Water bailout and bring it into public ownership. Sign the petition NOW: vist.ly/5pavf

Surprised* that there's not a whiff of the corruption and racism of ReformUK on the BBC website today, after the ITV reveal last night. *not surprised whatsoever.

As you'd expect from a lawyer, carefully chosen words.

Outstanding

Drop-off charges at UK airports to be reviewed after sharp rise. Rip-off charges crafted in company boardrooms, exec pay linked to profits. Public transport to airports isn't always good Review is one thing, ending predatory practices is something else.

He's VERY good, isn't he?

Keep talking about the Trump/Epstein files. It’s makes Trump incredibly livid which is bad for his health.

Jumbo implemented Kletskassa, special checkout lanes for chatting with cashiers, in 200 supermarkets. Launched in 2019 and expanded in 2021, the initiative aims to combat social isolation, especially among older adults.

TBH, 'distasteful' is putting it mildly.

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Pete Hegseth wasn't lying about us getting to see someone die on live TV.

How on earth are SNL and The Daily Show supposed to parody this?

In a nutshell.

Your regular reminder that public ownership is popular. People want energy bills they can afford, clean water, public transport that’s reliable, an NHS to be proud of, care that families & communities can rely on, a Royal Mail that actually delivers letters. Andy Burnham, are you listening?

Dutch cycling infrastructure during the school run, showing why safe infrastructure is vital if we want children to cycle to school. From a fietsstraat, where bikes have priority, to protected cycle tracks where cars must give way to bikes at every junction. Safe, convenient cycling for everyone.

Shell’s refineries expected to make record profits. Profit margins of $42 a barrel, up from $24 a barrel. Cashing in on global conflicts. Bumper payouts for execs and shareholders. Misery for households and businesses. Millions plunged into poverty. Must levy 100% windfall tax.

All the investment in our water system comes from one place: customers' bills. The government needs to bring not just water back into public ownership, but every critical asset that this country has under our control, owned by us.

TAKE BACK OUR ROYAL MAIL Andy Burnham make it 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, let it go bust if it can't, then take over. OR just buy it back at a discount as a vital 500 year old asset. vist.ly/5mhfz

Badenoch's showpiece, headline, conference proposal is to blow a £6,000,000,000 hole in the budget to raise the Inheritance Tax threshold for the richest 5% of the country? That woman has her finger on the national pulse, doesn't she?

Private water companies were handed a debt-free industry in 1989 under Thatcher. Since 1991 your water bills have gone up by 44% and a third of what you pay goes towards dividends payments and financing debt. They need to go bust and be taken back into public hands. Now. Not in 10 years' time.

The same Jeffrey Archer who used sex workers and was convicted of two counts of perjury and two counts of perverting the course of justice? That Jeffery Archer?? #abolishthemonarchy #grifters

Failures of privatisation. Royal Mail to cut up to 2,500 jobs Foreign-owned RM doesn't meet letter delivery targets even after regulator lowered them. Postage: 1st class, £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Poor service at triple price. Customers fleeced.

LBC's Matthew Wright confessed to being 'a bit wobbly' on the case for public ownership of water. So we told him. 1/3 of your water bill is dribbling out to service debts and line shareholder pockets. That's money that could be reinvested in improving the service. Public ownership's a no-brainer.

Time to move over, Zack?
