Nationalise water now @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Climate emissions resulting from approving drilling at Rosebank, expanding Heathrow airport, watering down UK’s EV targets, cutting heat pump grants would be 402m tonnes of CO2 over the next 25 years Greater than the annual emissions of 106 coal plants www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@thenewsagents.co.uk I know we’re a week away from the midterms and that’s going to be the major talking point, but can you do a piece on why the BBC went live to Reform’s pre-budget event, when even Reform voters didn’t even show? This BBC bias is genuinely shocking?

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

My daughter, a new teacher has just received a letter from HRMC chasing an owed £199. I suppose they have to crack the whip so that Suella Braverman’s claim for £45,000 on expenses to pay for utility bills gets paid. Crypto billionaires dishing out £5M gifts to teachers are a bit thin on the ground!

“Young people in Serbia said they were bloody fed up of all the corruption. “They aren’t just protesting in the streets, they are organising so it works out at the ballot box as well.” The youth turned the tide in Serbia's elections – is this the start of something bigger?

Reform UK's Suella Braverman claims massive taxpayer-funded water bill at home equal to 18 baths a day Claim to have used 1,504 litres of water daily at her £1.2million four-bedroom pad in a five-month period. Reform have promised benefit cuts for the disabled, old, sick, poor, unfortunate.

Fossil fuel billionaires, dissatisfied with the pace of climate collapse, are now joined by tech billionaires accelerating it via vast data centres destroying forests, freshwater, & consuming even more fossil fuel-generated energy. The only race to be won is for whose AI will wipe out humanity first

Burnham’s claim that Jackdaw will fund net zero is like a landlord building on sand at low tide because it is flat, hoping rental income will pay for building two future houses on the cliff edge.

Trump backs Burnham’s Jackdaw drilling plan confirming that it’s ill-conceived and puts the pedal to the metal, accelerating climate vandalism on a one way street!

“With Trump, always assume the pettiest, most vain, pathetic, wriggling urges and you're probably close to what he's thinking." Why Donald is too ignorant and uneducated to ever get it right when it comes to Russia and Ukraine www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/why-...

The devastating consequences of climate breakdown are already here and the UN this week has warned that global warming will breach 1.5°C. Labour's response: pushing ahead with more fossil fuels by approving Jackdaw.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney just told the PM not to bring Thames Water into public hands, warning it could hurt foreign investors. UK bill payers have propped up foreign investors for decades to the detriment of OUR OWN WATER — OUR HARD EARNT WAGES AREN’T FOR PROPPING UP FOREIGN INVESTORS

Why do energy companies charge us before we've even switched the lights on? Andy Burnham has asked his Chancellor to look into scrapping gas standing charges. But why stop at gas? We're calling for unfair standing charges on electricity bills to go too.

Zelensky explains why Russia failed to capture Kyiv in 2022. And no, it wasn’t because some Russian general took the wrong road, as Trump keeps saying.

Meta says its smart glasses are the answer to everything, but they risk making every public space a zone of surveillance and fear for women on the other side of the lens. We can’t let “pervert glasses” become the new normal 👇👓 https://goodlaw.social/kgj1

Won't bring bills down. Creates barely any jobs. Won't help energy security. Will increase emissions. Great work, Labour 🙄 Join.greenparty.org.uk

“He’s questioning whether she was raped as a 12-year-old girl? “How dare he!” Has Vivek Ramaswamy - who allowed a toxic attack ad in which his rival's estranged mother calls her a 'liar' - stooped to an all time low?

Jackdaw offers just 27 jobs, 35 million tonnes of carbon, and no change to energy security or bills. Greens offer a different vision. Our own homegrown, renewable energy, creating thousands of British jobs and investing in our children's futures. join.greenparty.org.uk

Zack Polanski criticises Labour over Jackdaw and says Andy Burnham "Wants to please Shell and Trump, rather than communities and the planet"

The good news for Labour is they've finally found someone who thinks Jackdaw is a good idea. The bad news? It's Donald Trump.

I just emailed the Energy Secretary asking her to reject Rosebank and make Jackdaw the last new oil and gas approval. Can you join me? It takes two minutes. act.gp/3VXkO0S

I’ve co-signed @labourlewis.bsky.social’s letter to Andy Burnham calling for public ownership of water. We already have ‘public control’. It's failed. £85bn+ extracted by shareholders, sewage in our rivers, bills going up. We need public ownership. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/la...

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs. So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?

Why are they even called "investors" if they've TAKEN OUT more than they've ever PUT IN? It's time to end this disaster. Andy Burnham has a big opportunity now. Ask him to block the Thames Water bailout NOW: vist.ly/5pb97

Chaos in Washington The new Private Eye is out now.

This is truly pathetic from Ministers. Labour’s claim to more than 27 new Jackdaw jobs doesn’t hold up. The green economy is >£100bn a year and growing fast. There is no future in fossil fuels. The Government knows this, but chooses profit for Shell over protecting our climate.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

If only “Grab them by the pussy” and paying off a sex worker for services had been considered a precursor for criminality and a red line that shouldn’t be crossed for a presidential candidate, the world wouldn’t have suffered the past ten years of greed, corruption, and death. Hey ho, USA, USA etc.

Anthony Scaramucci: “I'll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.”

Greens have a plan for failing water companies like Thames Water. Special administration. Public ownership. Zero compensation for shareholders. When will Labour end the rip off?

Private water companies are working extra hard to convince the public not to nationalise them Thames Water's creditors are meeting on Thursday 29th Oct to decide on yet another bailout at our expense Andy Burnham MUST block the bailout. Sign the petition NOW: https://vist.ly/5p7r7

“You’d have to go back to the Jim Crow era to find a party so celebrating of racism”. Trump’s rallies are now ‘dripping in racism’ - as his approval ratings continue to plummet. Does he really think Americans will vote for this?
