It would cost £1 to renationalise Thames Water. We did this in 2019 for Corbyn's manifesto. 🙄 Thames Water is facing bankruptcy (again).
Over 100 MPs call for Thames Water to go into special administration.

What I really want to hear Burnham say is that awful, evil politicians have been fearmongering and weaponising the whole issue of immigration, in a way that causes everyone harm.
He doesn’t even need to mention that Starmer was one of them.

At our municipal grocery stores, New Yorkers will get a 30% discount on eggs, milk, chicken, produce and other everyday essentials.
In the wealthiest city in the richest country in the world, no one should have to wonder how they’ll afford the food they need to feed themselves or their families.

Andy Burnham used to support rent controls because "there was a significant crisis in the rental market"
Sorry, what? Apparently now renters are just fine?
Labour won't support renters properly.
The Green Party will.

Simons wasn’t born until the 1980s - & was brought up in Kent & Leics. He may have visited Liverpool but is poorly equipped to make judgements about life there (or anywhere in the North) when Thatcher’s policies took disastrous hold. Northern memories, meanwhile, are transgenerational & ineradicable

My own, highly unreliable feeling, is that Starmer’s premiership will be largely forgotten, merged in with Johnson, Truss and Sunak as a kind of ‘Brexit hangover’ period of history, characterised by delusion and xenophobia all around.
