Deloitte in Cyprus helped in falsifying documents to hide Roman Abramovich's wealth and evade tax, Leaked documents show transactions backdated and tailored. Assets spirited away to BVI. Big four accounting firms advise UK govts, get public contracts, routinely implicated in scandals.

Last week South West Water were fined £8m for >200 sewage discharges in Devon & Cornwall over a 5 year period. Their mantra is “1 pollution is too many”. In the first 11 weeks of 2026, water companies had already dumped over 69,000 hours of sewage into bathing waters. ENOUGH. Public ownership now.

Photo of George Monbiot accompanying a quote from The Guardian, July 2025: "Instead of borrowing to pay for infrastructure improvement, water companies borrowed to pay for dividends. Just as the water companies dump their sewage in the rivers, they have also dumped their liabilities on the public. The country becomes their dustbin."

Andy Burnham has said he wants to reverse Thatcher’s 40 year legacy of privatisation. Now is the time for him to seize the moment, anchored by a set of principles that are uncompromising enough to make a difference to people's lives. Our new report sets out how to do it. vist.ly/5mh3j

"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Tom Tugendhat in Sunday Times insists on leaving the ECHR to tackle “soaring” immigration. What a miserable rat. Lying to us all. Betraying our country’s best interests. Threatening to flounce out of our human rights framework, trashing our treaties and torching our protection from abuses of power.

The Tories are planning to make the ECHR a dividing line at the next election. Last week the party announced plans to deport every foreign criminal, apart from those convicted of the most trivial offences, and said their plan for ECHR withdrawal meant only the Conservatives were equipped to take on the problem of soaring immigration. One of the problems withdrawal would create is a legal dispute over whether it breaches the Good Friday agreement, which committed the UK to fully incorporate the ECHR into Northern Ireland's justice system. Tugendhat said the issue had not yet been raised in his conversations with lawmakers in the US, adding:
"There's a lot of work to be done."

You probably don't know but before 1964 nobody owned the seas surrounding the UK. They were common land. In 1964 they were all given to the King, so now all the Wind Turbines and Oil Rigs in the UK pay rent to him. They should all be placed back under Government control. It's a scam.

Remember quantitative easing. Bank of England created £895bn, bought gilts/bonds, City speculators profited. Govt could keep them, save interest/redemption costs. NO. It is selling them at £120bn loss, pushing up interest rates. Adding about £47bn to govt debt by 2031, the City profits.

The UK now needs to introduce political spending limits across a parliament, not just for election campaign years. Otherwise, its election spending rules could fall over. Current rules: parties have a limit (about £34m) for 12 months before an election - but no limits outside the 12 month period.
