"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us." What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that. What contempt for voters. ~AA

Reform UK was created to make Brexit happen. Nigel Farage spent 27yrs promising Brexit would make British people richer. Now both Nigel Farage & Reform Party officials say Brexit, their main policy, is making Brits poorer. ANYONE WHO STILL BACKS REFORM IS A TRAITOR TO THE UK!

Two policies will deliver Labour the 2029 general election, and a share of power indefinitely: A) Rejoining the EU B) PR Surely it's better to have a big influence on policy essentially forever rather than all the marbles for one GE cycle then back in the wilderness for decades?

Britain *is* broken. Brexit broke Britain. And Nigel Farage is benefitting from the wreckage. This was always my greatest fear with Brexit - that it would bring about stagnant conditions that favour extreme populism. Much like drug addiction causes crashes that make the drug more seductive.

Trump is waging the trade equivalent of a nuclear war against the entire world. He's telling other nations to surrender to his demands because he's willing to annihilate his own economy just to destroy theirs. A tyrant's strategy that should not be possible in any country resembling a democracy.

What’s clear at this point is that the Trump strategy on Ukraine is to only place pressure on Zelensky, not Putin. The moves we’ve seen have been to give Russia everything it wants, and Ukraine nothing. It’s a complete reversal of the American position from only 6 weeks ago.

A bit of good news: NHS England hospital waiting list falls for 4th month in row. The lowest figures since April 2023. Considering the “quademic” and winter months, this is an achievement for both the NHS and Labour government. So it’ll obviously be all over the news, right?
