Rail fares are a cost-of-living issue. We have the highest rail fares in Europe.

The Railways Bill is coming back to parliament this Wednesday. @chrishinchliff.bsky.social.bsky.social's amendment can help cut fares.

🔥🔥🔥We call them "public services" BECAUSE they should "serve the public".

BUT under privatisation, they only serve private shareholders.

This should be illegal.

60% of Wes Streeting's donations come from people and companies linked to private healthcare, according to @goodlawproject.org research.

Our NHS should be protected from these private interests - not left defenceless against them.

End privatisation in our NHS.

Thames Water's creditors are trying their luck. Their latest proposal is another brazen attempt to dodge regulations. I've just emailed my MP asking them to reject the proposal, and bring Thames Water into Special Administration. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/emai...

Bloody hell. From secretly-funded lobby groups masquerading as ‘think tanks’ (who continue to dominate our discourse despite Liz Truss demonstrating the dangers) to a secretly-funded political party. Should have seen that coming.
So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money.

So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

For far too long shareholder dividends have come before people in our water system.

Dear Bluesky, I regret to inform you that over on Twitter, the CEO of Palantir, Louis Mosley is endorsing the coverage of his company in my old newspaper, the Observer.

This causes me personal & specific pain. But it should also to you too.

😡🤯Private companies that own our trains paid out £1.16 billion in dividends to shareholders since 2022.

The Railways Bill will allow this to continue. UNACCEPTABLE! Thank you @shockatadam.bsky.social for supporting an end to rail profiteering.

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

The government must bring South East Water into permanent public ownership. Anything else – fines, resignations – is tinkering around the edges.

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

When Tory donor Frank Hester reportedly said Diane Abbott – the longest-serving Black MP – made him “want to hate all black women” and that she “should be shot”, Kemi Badenoch dismissed it as “trivia”. When Kneecap, made a similarly abhorrent past remark she wants them banned. #TwoTierKemi
