Neoliberals demanding tax cuts for the super rich want to abolish the state pension triple-lock. Full state pension is less than 50% of the minimum wage. 2m pensioners live in poverty. 110,000 a year die in fuel poverty. Due to low incomes future retirees will be more reliant on the state pension

Trump administration to pay German firm $1.22bn to cut offshore wind leases and instead redirect funds towards fossil fuels. Govts captured by oil/gas companies suffocate people and the planet to reward their paymasters. Disaster politics.

Thames Water, the poster child of predatory capitalism announces hosepipe ban. TW loses 200bn litres annually to leaks. Dumps tons of sewage in rivers. Paid dividends, neglected investment. No new reservoirs since 1989. Massive hikes in customer bills. Numerous criminal convictions.

The water company said the three heatwaves contributed to the ban.

Finding BBC and #r4today analysis of Trump’s insults of Starmer to be bizarre. Why are we even considering what Trump said? It’s meaningless. Genuinely. Not even Trump knows what he means. The story is - Starmer stood firm and acted in the national interest. Trump threw some toys out of his pram.

Thank god. A great win for Hannah Spencer and the Greens, for #GortonAndDenton and for progressive voters. Made even greater by the huge Reform sulk. And the fact that the hateful Goodwin got whooped. Now Labour, look to your left because you will not win from the right. We’re sick of that failure.

Dear UK media, If you’re going to fall for Farage’s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but he’s lying about the stats too. It’s dangerous and dishonest. Please say so. Thanks A v tired-of-this, UK
