Funny how these errors always seem to head in the same direction. A bit like Richard Tice's tax mistakes.

Ofwat appoints Grant Thornton to help improve South East Water performance l £6m wasted. Similar exercise at Thames Water yielded zilch. SEW has £1.7bn debt, can't raise new money, loses 100m litres of water a day to leaks, customers fleeced for decades. End the scam. Nationalise water.

Conservative Helen Whateley, "Tax cuts have to be funded.. I'm doing work on what is the right way to bring down the welfare bill" My view: Why is the answer always more hardship for people who are already struggling, while vast wealth can be hoarded almost untouched?

Apparently Yitzhak Rabin was a Zionist - he also gave a whole generation hope - considering what he did and so nearly achieved while grappling with the worlds most challenging problem - would The Greens have declared him a racist? Just retrieved Noas’ book from my bookshelves to read again.

This week on his TV show, Nigel Farage laughed at a clip of a woman in tears because of the racism she’d experienced. “I can’t stop laughing,” he said. When people tell you who they are, believe them. And then don’t vote Reform.

Pratchett somehow managed to analyse and articulate society’s issues so skilfully they became intelligible even to me! My favourite writer of all time and the only author who’s every piece stands up to countless rereads - which is fortunate as he’s cluttering up my overwhelmed bookshelves.

So, Tories would cancel Erasmus and youth mobility, scrap the SPS deal that reduces red tape, lowers costs and eases backlogs for goods trade and renege on our new energy, defence and security arrangements… Ridiculous threat, ridiculous party, ridiculous people…

He’s the only one who hasn’t been bought - imho his predecessor really needed to establish identity and have the strength to bind his govt to it - was desperate for him to do this - hopefully we now see signs of this happening. Daring to hope 🇪🇺

I guess that means he thinks Ascension Island is Britain? About 4,000 miles away in the South Atlantic. I spent a few hours there en route to Falklands in 1982 - not sure we’d all fit 🤪 or does he have somewhere else in mind?
