Still scarcely any mainstream coverage of this massive story, despite the new and separate scandal involving James Orr. This is not just double standards. I'm struggling to detect any standards at all.

We refuse to pay for more sewage in our rivers, hosepipe bans, service cuts, dividends and bonuses Andy Burnham must say no to any bill hike. IF private water companies can't survive without it, let them go bust 82% of us want public ownership of water. We've had enough of privatisation

"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”

The cover headline reads "Mandelson Crisis Starmer Acts!" and shows two images of Keir Starmer waving outside Number 10.

Israel’s horrifying plans to take over Gaza City will lead to more death and destruction. States, like the UK and US, have enabled this escalation by transferring arms and failing to take concrete action to stop the genocidal assault on occupied Gaza.
