Merry Christmas! Today Ofwat have approved bill hikes for all water companies, with Southern Water topping the charts at 53% over the next five years. We’ve made it very easy for you to email your MP today to let them know how outrageous this is - campaigns.sewagecampaignnetwork.org.uk thank you

The Guardian is pushing ahead with its 'sale' of the Observer. But the journalism continues... If you value the Guardian or Observer, I urge you to read this. It's my attempt to investigate 'the money behind the money'. Who is 'buying' us? And why? open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Who is 'the money behind the money?'
As the Guardian announces the 'sale' of the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media, I wave hello to my new bosses (hi!) with an investigation of their finances.

In truth, every single major piece of legislation ought to be this somberly undertaken, this well attended, this carefully considered, and this passionately, but cordially, argued. If our elected chamber can be what we witnessed today, why can't it all the time?

Didn’t somebody once say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Let’s end this never ending cycle of public bills bailing out private equity and bring water back into public ownership, now. www.ft.com/content/bc6e...

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
