Since privatisation, England's water companies have borrowed £83bn, paid £88.4bn in dividends. 35% of customer bills cover financial costs. Under-investment is the norm At the current rate of investment it will take 700 years to replace the water network. Govts obsessed with privatisation.

England’s privatised water companies are leaders of predatory practices. In 1989, the industry was privatised for £7.6bn and had no debts. It joined Chile and a few US states&...

An innovative floating offshore solar project that generates electricity and converts seawater into drinking water. The farm near Gran Canaria produces 85 MW of renewable electricity while using that same power to operate reverse osmosis systems that desalinate seawater #ActOnClimate #renewables

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”. Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

The BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster, sharing info with us so we can make good decisions and understand the world around us. Instead, it continues to fail the public, publishing half baked articles which expose people to bad info which leaves them vulnerable to grifters. (1/n)

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy. This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis. 44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Climate change will inevitably lead to mass migration & political instability as people vie for space & resources. Some people stigmatising migrants are those actively encouraging choices exacerbating the situation, while pouring scorn on tech & policies which could mitigate or prepare for change.
