When a politician in power says, “I’ll fight the next General Election on this issue”, what they really mean is, “I’m delaying doing anything about it.” Andy’s right: We need NHS style social care, paid for by national taxation. But we need it now, not in 3 years, if they win the next election.

The delay is quite right, but the review needs to set average new council size at 200-350k and be based on existing District/Borough councils. Where boundaries need tweaking to make sense (Falmer must be in Brighton) it should but no large area should be forced without consent. bbc.in/4xILLTQ

Labour’s new powers for water customers are a ‘stitch-up’, say campaigners
Exclusive: Documents reveal water firms have been allowed to advise on how they wish to be held to account Labour’s new powers for customers to hold water companies to account are a “stitch-up”, campaigners have said, as utilities firms have been advising on how to implement it. The Consumer Council for Water (CCW) is creating what the government referred to as “powerful consumer panels” so the public can question the executives of their local water company and get redress for problems they face from sewage and water companies in England and Wales.

In France there are 120 meteorological stations that monitor temperatures. Whenever one of these stations records a temperature above 40 Celsius an alarm is triggered. Between 1959 and 2000, 30 alarms were triggered. In 2026 alone, 114 alarms have already been triggered.

Political uniforms on marches are illegal in this country. Protesters have been arrested at pro-Palestinian marches for wearing masks. Yet masked far right groups are allowed to intimidate our communities. It is two tier policing that arrests grandmas protesting Gaza, but allow this?
