Catching up with last week Guardian Long Read about Burnham. & this is exactly my experience working with & observing Labour. Would love to see them change & be more open to other influences, esp from ground up (which is, of course, the Green Party approach!)

We need to shift the economic paradigm away from neoliberlism, obsession with govt debt, and look at investing in our country for prosperity for all. #Markethumanism @ericbeinhocker.bsky.social @nickhanauer.bsky.social

Thames Water discharging sewage into watercourse at South Morton for 940 hours … and counting. No rain for ~4 days, and no storms or heavy rain for longer than that. They should be prosecuted for this asap and the law applied (which can be imprisonment btw not just fines that end up on bills)

Thanks to @20splenty.bsky.social this graph clearly shows such a clear correlation, anyone who claims otherwise is very silly indeed

Good to drop into the Thrive event in Oxford and see this slide which captures nicely what we know we need to do (we all know this, don’t we).

Is there a more perfect example of how neo-liberal economic policy works? Privatise the profits, publicise the losses. We’re all now paying more to Thames Water shareholders, & we get crumbling infrastructure, likely shortages of clean water & intentional destruction of rivers and seas

@gwr.com really fed up with trains constantly being a few mins late, every time nearly. Will miss my connection to Paddington and my appointment. Slack management. No doubt you’ll blame another train provider
