I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

I’m just going to say as someone who lived in London for eleven years and is currently seriously considering going back precisely because of the far right theocratic fascism of Trump, that he’s talking out of his fucking asshole.

Instead fixing Thames Water at the billpayers’ expense just to flog it off to another vulture capitalist … Why not simply bring it back into public ownership? www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Thames Water could be sold to a Chinese firm after public rescue
The government is preparing to take over the UK’s largest water company, tackle its huge debts and then find a buyer — which could well be CKI

Turns out someone far smarter than me (Dieter Helm) has thought far harder than me about this exact question of water nationalisation (specifically Thames) - anyone who's interested enough to read this far into the thread should now read this: dieterhelm.co.uk/publications...

Is it just me or is the Guardian platforming Farage now?

Next time Labour is in a jam,they should announce a law that forces online retailers to disclose their delivery company *before* you place an order so you can cancel if you wish. Would avoid sinking feeling I get when notified my “parcel is with Evri”.

Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper’s cruel change means refugees fleeing conflict, torture and human rights abuses, and who’ve long been granted protection and the right to live and work in the UK, will no longer be able to become British citizens.

Brexit was a con. Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs. On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

So being a bit new to this place, finding it rather saner and more serious than the alternatives, I’m wondering what happens if I post a picture of my cat on a roof.
