It’s real! Excited that the paperback of #AnotherEngland is out on 20 Feb - with a new chapter on how Labour Govt needs to offer real change & tell a more inspiring, compelling story, if it’s to see off the threat posed by the increasingly populist Right penguin.co.uk/books/453710/a…

“We are modernising our approach to international development” claims Govt, even as its own impact assessment shows devastating consequences. Pure Orwell. Ministers should hang their heads in shame ⁦@oxfamgb⁩ theguardian.com/global-develop…

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

A quick thing to do to help keep us all #SAFER from impacts of climate breakdown? Pls sign & share @CMP_voice petition urging government to invest more in #climate adaptation & make our communities safer. 100,000 signs triggers likely debate in parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…

There are no words to convey the horror of 21 children in Gaza starving to death in the last 72 hours. There are no words to convey the horror of nearly a million more children being at risk of the same fate. The UK cannot stay complicit in this atrocity. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvg9…

Hugely significant that Court agreed foreign interference is a threat to our right to free & fair elections & there’ll be cases when states must investigate. Shame they found UK has done enough - our democracy still isn’t safe ⁦⁦@allthecitizens⁩ theguardian.com/law/2025/jul/2…

🫠 Jon Cunliffe's review into the water sector deliberately left out the option of public ownership. 💸 The only way to stop millions of pounds being siphoned off for huge CEO salaries and shareholder dividends is to end the scam of privatised water. 🤝 Public ownership now.

Great reporting! I wonder how long they thought they’d get away with that for? ….

Opps... govt really has been sussed. Govt's supposedly new sewage targets are worse than the old ones. That's what happens when you try to regurgitate a bunch of policies from previous govts and try to pass them off as your own. Good work @adamvaughan_uk / @thetimes 👏👏👏

Oh what have we become. Apparently now so bereft of ideas and grappling childlike with how to deal with the water industry, in a speech later today govt will yet again make another attempt to claim responsibility for policies and ideas that were actually developed and launched…

Govt were warned by of all people the chairman of Thames Water that this would happen, ban our bonuses and we’ll just double salaries. That of course is the same TW whose board discussed how to circumnavigate the ban and then promptly paid managers £2.5m in bonuses. So much for…

Feargal Sharkey: "We were promised by govt a complete proper reset root and branch review. We were promised champagne, what we've actually got is sour milk. The secretary of state needs to consider his position. I think Steve Reed should resign" #GMB

To be clear about this the £100 billion to nationalise the water industry being branded about by govt this morning does indeed come from a think tank report commissioned, bought and paid for by; @AnglianWater, @stwater, @SouthWestWater and @unitedutilities It also uses a…

Meanwhile in other news the water industry rich list. The men and women that have been paid a combined total of £278 million in just 11 years. That by the way is your money. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Krishnan Guru-Murthy: "These water companies say they're putting £billions in." Feargal Sharkey: "They’ve taken away £84 billion of our money in dividends and created £74 billion of debt…We've been cheated.”

Dear @SteveReedMP, If you set up a water commission only to tie its hands by not allowing it to consider public ownership, and excluding agricultural run off even though it causes half of water pollution, how can that commission possibly deliver real change?  1/2

Pleased to be in this list of women calling for asylum seekers to be included in the Government’s plan to tackle violence against women & girls. Violence doesn’t stop at the border - and neither should our compassion for survivors ⁦@4refugeewomen⁩ theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…

England water regulator OFWAT to be abolished. Rearranging the deckchairs alone won't do. Bring water into public ownership. Need employee/customer elected directors on company boards; workers/customers must vote on exec pay. Hold Ministers to account. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

"Government must act: the water industry's financially, environmentally & morally bankrupt". Prem Sikka @premnsikka speaking truth to power. Public Ownership is the ONLY viable option for water. Read The People's Commission for Water report for the facts. vist.ly/3ybua

Sewage discharged into rivers after heavy rainfall. National disgrace for 36 years of England's water privatisation. People fleeced, investment neglected, dividends paid, bosses rewarded. Nothing will change until profit motive removed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura
