Everything for sale. Australia investors buy 19 UK ports, previously owned by investors from Canada, Singapore, Kuwait. City of London prefers speculation. Profits will be exported. Unlike many other countries, UK doesn't levy tax on dividends paid to foreign investors. archive.ph/oYm8k

Sure, we should, if we can (many cannot). But as I keep pointing out, the government itself is making no provision at all. No stockpiles, no back-up, no alternative sources. It's individuating the response to a collective problem, and that never ends well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

UK law requires companies to pay dividends from realized profits, must maintain capital. Law is poorly enforced. Water companies flout it. Carillon abused it. Now Govt proposes that dividends can be paid without capital maintenance. Madness to appease corporations.

We see folks like Mandami, Sadiq Khan and my MP (co-incidentally all Muslim) going to lots of different types of religious celebrations but seldom members of the cabinet (of any party). I wonder why that is?
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami. We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.

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...

Andrew Boff has left the Conservative Party after 53 years (so will now be an independent in the GLA) over his support for human rights. The leadership will not allow candidates to run if they publicly support continued UK membership of the ECHR, ratified since 1951 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Aaand there it is. Cynically moved back until after the by-election so that they could lie to the public. Reminder that this oil is open market, not to the UK, and won't drop prices the tiniest bit. Folks still waiting to see about Burnham, you can start now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Keep reminding yourself that what you see is the best version that the Doc's can achieve - they are battling nature, dementia, drug-addiction (perhaps), vascular decay etc - so if this is the best they can manage, what's he really like without the mood controlling upper and downer etc
Trump is supposed to be speaking at a rally in North Carolina 2 hours from now but there is no sign of him leaving the White House yet. can't say I'm shocked he's running way behind given the state he was in during his Oval Office event this afternoon
