60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills. If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.

Water companies want to push up bills even further. AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout. No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust! 1/2

Accepting NHS care via a private provider is not a moral failure. Patients didn't cause this crisis; political choices did. Put your health first and hold politicians accountable. Tell your MP to stop private equity profiting from NHS patients: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...
Pharmaceutical companies are corrupting our democracy & rigging the rules to get rich - at the cost of patients' health. And politicians are letting it happen. Big pharma profits should never come before patients’ lives. If you agree, add your name: actionnetwork.org/forms/put-pa...

Last week we learned that permanent LFR cameras will be installed on Oxford Street in December. Yet the Govt. hasn't published its response to the public consultation that closed in Feb. And there is still no legal framework to protect the public's rights. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

We welcome ambition from @andyburnham.bsky.social to get everyone off the streets. But everyone must mean *everyone*. To end rough sleeping, Govt must tackle the immigration policies that lock migrants out of the safety net and make it harder to stay off the streets www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is an excellent read! If we aren't going to have an elected second chamber (as we probably should), why not appoint notably smart people to it, rather than notably wealthy ones? People like a certain Professor Roberts (or Professor Cox) spring to mind... And Sir David Attenborough! 👍

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Three days after the August primary, election workers in one Washington county went to check for late mail-in ballots. They expected no more than a few dozen. Instead, there were more than 500 — each a vote that wouldn’t count.

Beware of finance industry lobbying. It hired PwC (the firm that delivers dud audits) to produce a report, claiming that UK banks face highest rates of tax. The report included taxes not borne by banks. Omitted countries that levy higher rates of taxes. Integrity never gets in the way of profits.
