The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

Repealing Thatcher's ban on public ownership of water companies is only meaningful if Andy Burnham brings water into public ownership Over 9 in 10 of us want our water in public ownership. Let's do it, starting with Thames Water

Screenshot of Independent article that includes a quote from Cat Hobbs that says, "Cat Hobbs, director of public ownership campaign We Own It, repeated calls for Thames Water to be nationalised urgently. She said: “Repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies is a welcome step in the right direction, but it is far from meeting the scale of the crisis. “Thames Water should have been in special administration yesterday. “It is in £20 billion of debt and teetering on the brink of financial collapse. “The only option to keep it privatised is to hand it over to a group of US hedge funds. “How can this Government be serious about their promise to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation, if they are not urgently bringing it into public hands?”"

Andy Burnham has said the new water bill will “start a 10-year journey to a very different water system". He has an open goal with Thames Water. The company is insolvent. The legislation already exists to effect the transition to public ownership. Don't kick the can down the road - start now.

Guardian Politics Podcast listeners - who were subjected to five years of increasingly assertive assurances that the Sir Keir projects was absolutely awesome, ring-stinging political genius that the public love - would be entitled to ask what exactly it was that happened here and how it came to this

And every single one of them, when I've said, look, don't get too ahead of yourself, it's not looking that great out there economically. You've got some really big test moments ahead, like the budget spending review that we've spoken about this before. Each of them has said, yeah, but we've got a second hearing.
And I think they recognize that it isn't currently more than that. But actually that alone is a big deal. And they're all people that I've spoken to regularly over the last year who have been getting or who were getting under Keir Starmer more and more despondent about the party's prospects and thinking, well, frankly, there's no way we're going to win a general election, we're in a second term.
And even though obviously we're some way off from that, we can talk about that in a minute, already there's sort of this renewed hope that actually they can think again longer term, they can think about in terms of like, you know, a 10 year project and making sort of the longer term substantial change because they hope
