Water companies are trying to hike your water bills AGAIN. Privatisation is not affordable. Andy Burnham must block these bill hikes. Let the water companies that can't survive without hiking our bills GO BUST. Then we take them into public hands for nothing.

It is entirely unsurprising that the founder of "Labour YIMBYs", Chris Worrall, has just defected to the Conservatives. These build-everywhere fanatics are welcomed by capital in all its brutal manifestations, as they trample over democracy and ecosystems.

If you don’t think Reform are being directly aided and abetted by the British press, then ask yourself this: why has a question asked by a Reform MP at PMQs, about banning the burka, been front and centre in discussions on the BBC, LBC and Sky News for over a week?

President Zelenskyy: "It is absolutely obvious that Russia is actually trying to fool the world - fool America& others -prolong the war further. That's why pressure is necessary…Yesterday's meetings in Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what's going on."

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

We need to boost defence spending from 2.5% to 3% of GDP. One way of paying for it would be to claw back (most of) the 4% of GDP we lost to Brexit. It would of course pay for a swathe of other things too. Goodbye all that Austerity 2.0 nonsense. But getting started MUST be the first step.

Let's see the UK align itself completely with Europe - no more Brexit nonsense - no more 'special relationship' - no more trying to placate trump. The US administration can no longer be trusted so it falls to Europe to unite in the defence of Ukraine.
