£1 MILLION. That’s what Thames Water has handed its new finance chief while customers face rising bills, the company drowns in debt and they dump sewage into our waterways 😡 Sign the petition demanding he gives the money back

It's now been confirmed that this summer will be the hottest on record. For those opposing bold action on the climate crisis - you're not just putting lives and the planet at risk today, but dooming future generations.

This burning summer is the proof: the voices of climate denial aren’t just delusional, they’re deadly | Sadiq Khan
Look at our blazing forests and parched cities. Green policies aren’t a ‘luxury’, and we can’t burn more oil and gas. People need the truth, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

Jeff Bezos has just been crowned the world's third richest person...while Amazon dodges billions in tax. Right now, governments are negotiating new global tax rules. Tell the UK Government: don't cave to the super-rich.

💧Water is a basic service, not a cash machine 🤑 While bills rise and sewage pours into our rivers and seas, water companies keep rewarding shareholders. Enough is enough. It's time to bring water back into public ownership.

The Labour party needs to position itself where it is still electable. If she wants to remain in parliament making use of her talents she would be better off within the party. If she remains outside and contests the seat at the next GE she will hand the seat to the far right.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal. We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia. I disagree. RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

“We all had our snouts in the trough” isn’t really much of a defence, but just highlights a government that saw the pandemic primarily as an opportunity to make obscene amounts of for friends and family at the taxpayers expense.

About time consequences were faced for the PPE scandal… But why only Michelle Mone? £15b worth of contracts were flagged with a corruption risk So where’s the rest of them? And what about the Tory ministers who greenlit that institutionally corrupt VIP lane?
