Wish I could say that the people normalising Trump this morning will regret it, but they won't. It's like being in Groundhog Day. They already normalised him, then acted shocked when he tried to overthrow US democracy, and now, with the memory of a fucking goldfish, they're doing it all over again.

Private equity profiteering from children's misery. Compass Community has financialised foster care. Profits up from £3m to £10.8m. Fees double/triple compared to what councils could charge. Low pay, lack of workers' rights are hallmarks. End privatisation. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza? Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen. This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders. At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%. Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns. Privatisation is a scam. www.independent.co.uk/business/tha...
independent.co.uk
Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030
The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.
