@thameswater.bsky.social Thames water was banned from issuing bonuses so they renamed them Retention Payments. I've renamed my hosepipe, it's now called my cuddly-joy. Nobody can ban cuddy-joys!

Because the privileged have never had to prepare for anything and shout at anyone who tries - we can't afford it - to prevent them being taxed.

Can't blame people really - the water companies flour the rules to maximise profit - hose pipe ban transgressions are to keep plants and lawns alive

I’ve signed a letter calling for Angela Eagle and Ofwat to reject the last-ditch deal from Thames Water's creditors. Can you sign and share it as well? weownit.org.uk/act-now/sign...

The boost to the treasury is only once - after the first year no more benefit but pain and misery for the self employed and their accountants - madness!!!

Your point was she is weak - your argument does not support that premise - it only shows you don't understand why she chose to send somebody else. She would beat you in an arm wrestle anyday.

Looks like a Tice business plan in action, ok go after them but take on Starbucks, Amazon etc - impose a flat 2 % sales tax on all turnover which can be offset against corporation tax but not refundable, would be a big contribution to the treasury.

If energy prices fall consumers spend less - an idiot would think that lowers GDP but ignores that consumers then spend savings elsewhere - if they spend on local services the multiplayer effect boosts GDP. Move to renewables in a undoubtedly beneficial unless you're an oil baron or in their pockets

Public control is not public ownership. Andy Burnham must clarify that he backs public ownership of life's essentials.

I'll never buy another poppy - charity's disgusting treatment of it's tenants - many vulnerable. A nonprofit organisation it may be -using circa 75% of income to pay fat salaries to its staff & executives is disgusting. Stop the rent rises and evictions! Take a pay cut @thepoppyfactory.bsky.social

So he gave up looking for a real job - had to go to the very depths of human existence to find his niche - the bum hole of politics. He will slip in seamlessly.

More slash and burn privatisation. This will mean those services will have to be paid for with a profit element on top to private providers - short term window dressing and long term pain for taxpayers.

No - balanced got us into this mess - presenting one economist against another when 500 believe one thing but only one opposes isnt balanced it's misleading. Impartiality is required so a fair representation can be made and the public made aware of the weight of opinion. Agree LK a Tory mouthpiece

If you bring non earners into your average then you have to bring in high earners - stats can't be trusted but the billionaires can afford to pay more and many of them would prefer to - they wrote an open letter stating so.

I don't believe Reeves is an economist. A pound in the hand of a poor person ispent and boosts GDP roughly 8 times that whereas an extra pound in a rich person's hand gets saved or invested not affecting GDP - if you want growth put more cash in hands of poor and disabled especially. #economystupid

Poor people don't have luxury of choice through preference - to survive they buy the cheapest food available - your IHT subsidy is not bringing down the cost of food it just keeps the land in the same hands. Get rid of tax breaks - reduce the cost of land allowing new entrants to buy smallholdings

Some may do that and that is tragic but the suicide statistics are facts - ordinary people living in deprived areas are TWICE as likely to commit suicide. Those in deprived areas could be helped if the inequality now baked into society was addressed through taxation but you don't care about them.

Total shameful hyperbole and cruel rhetoric to bandy about - those who commit suicide are being disrespected here. As for thousands by 2026 - absolute bullshit!

Yes - the mantra of the rich - we can't afford any public services unless the poor tighten their belts and go without basic needs of health care, heating, social care, schools, roads and council services. The rich can't possibly contribute with the current price of avocados and lobster. Fk austerity

Some men-or lots of men - but please give some of us the credit we deserve for treating women with respect and care - the phrase "men feel entitled" is a gross exaggeration and it doesn't help to label all men as the same - that will only help the Tates of this world to persuade and recruit.
