Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

Clarkson is the person farmers should actually be angry with. By piling into farming as a tax dodge, he and other greedy millionaires brought this on.

Curious to hear the farmer interviewed on #R4Today caveat his concerns with “we would pay IHT IF we made no other provision and IF one of the children want to take it on.” The issues for farming and the rural economy are much more complex than inheritance tax. We should be talking about all that.

Big food plays its part in the UK farming crisis, which knocks onto the nature crisis that knocks on to the health crisis that knocks on to the mental well-being crisis of farmers, too!
