Water companies are trying to hike your water bills AGAIN. Privatisation is not affordable. Andy Burnham must block these bill hikes. Let the water companies that can't survive without hiking our bills GO BUST. Then we take them into public hands for nothing.

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift. The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics. *If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

Interesting reference just now to "the left-leaning Daily Mirror" on the Today Programme. I hope this practice is going to become routine, & that we'll be reminded of the political affiliations of The Daily Telegraph, The Mail, The Sun, The Express & The Times. It would actually be quite healthy.
