Most people aren’t talking or thinking about this. But before you know it, this will be all anyone is talking or thinking about.

10 years after the Brexit vote. UK economy is significantly smaller than it would otherwise have been. Trade has suffered. Business investment and productivity growth have stalled. Families are on average thousands of pounds a year worse off. theguardian.com/politics/202…

The UK’s data watchdog received nearly 40,000 data protection complaints last year, but only issued two fines – so we’re holding it to account 👁️ goodlaw.social/4l2b

82% of people in England want our water in public ownership All the experts are clear that privatisation of water has failed So why is the government holding on to it? Maybe this is why @CatHobbs

NEW: Why did Nigel Farage throw the 2019 ‘Brexit’ election for Boris Johnson? What does it have to do with Harborne’s £5m gift? And why is it tearing apart Britain’s far-right parties? A @thenerve_news investigation by me & @LuciaOC_ (Link below) 1/ #TheHarborneReceipts

Caroline Lucas: "We need to recognise that what happened on the streets of Belfast was being orchestrated by the far right, by Elon Musk, by a network of people who actually want this to happen, so it wasn't quite as spontaneous as it looked.. and that has to be stopped"

This is the first conviction using the misogyny as hate crime framework - what he did was already a crime but now he will get a more serious sentence for having targeted this woman. Minimising his behaviour underlines exactly why we fought for this law because she must have been terrified. Ask for a kiss? He grabbed her hair and refused to take no for an answer.

The idea of the enlightened billionaire is over. The naked drive for power and profit is now clear. We must choose. We either live with powermongers driving conflict and greed for their own benefit, or we can have a politics of care. Your choice? theguardian.com/politics/202…

The government is LYING about public ownership of water. Today we joined Feargal Sharkey, Baroness Jenny Jones and the Dirty Business campaigners Ash and Peter to hand in a letter asking Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds to come clean. Take action now: vist.ly/574rb

Many thought when Labour got into government in 2024 that this would be their approach… better late than never?

90% of countries in the world can own their water but not us. People in England want their water back. But the government is protecting private water profiteers. It’s time to give the public a say. @Feargal_Sharkey wants you stand up and be counted. Sign the petition: vist.ly/576px

In first, California city overwhelmingly votes to permanently ban datacenters. Concerns about negative environmental effects, public health, increasing utility prices, proximity to homes. Data centres don't generate many jobs. Will Britons follow suit? theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Since Thames Water is once again staring down a gun barrel, the £3 billion bailout it had runs out later this year, I thought it might be timely to remind us all of the “Economically illiterate”, cost govt comes up with to renationalise the water industry, you remember the £100 billion. It is of course made up nonsense produced by a think tank in a report which was bought and paid for my United Utilities, Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water and South West Water. By their calculations it would now cost £26,659,419,800 to nationalise Thames Water. 🤣🤣🤣 What a joke.
Replying to @Feargal_Sharkey
And now to my apology to @krishgm. When I referred the other evening on @Channel4News that using these calculations Thames Water would be worth £21 billion I was wrong. Using Ofwat's latest RCV and applying the SMF 1.3 multiplier Thames Water would now apparent be worth a stonking £26,659,419,800. Not bad for a company that's effectively bankrupt. 3/3

South East Water left thousands of homes in Kent without access to water on the hottest days of the year so far. Yet another shocking example of the failure of privatisation. Given the scale of the crisis in the water sector, a purely regulatory approach is like putting a complaints box on the Titanic. Public ownership is the only real solution, as I told the Water Minister in parliament yesterday.

The Secretary of State for the Environment @EmmaforWycombe thinks it is OK to have 'off the record' meetings with water bosses who could end up in criminal court if @Defra did its job properly. And who dictates whether Defra does its job properly? That would be the same Secretary of State. It's a #dirtybusiness for sure. thecanary.co/uk/analysis/202…

What if the whole country saw the full picture? This is a national emergency. The impacts are already here. But the solutions exist. Across the UK, communities are watching The People’s Emergency Briefing & discussing what to do next. Find a screening → nebriefing.org/screening-map
