'Swathes of Sussex.. with no water for the Bank Holiday weekend.. Southern Water 'useless communication'.. 'leaving the vulnerable with nothing'.. schools.. forced to shut.'

Brace yourself for @ofwat sending finger wagging letter which SW will ignore.

The brute truth is that successive Tory attempts to run economy and society around reducing the state, cutting public investment and hollowing out public services has caused economic decline and acute social distress. Now deservedly they reap the whirlwind.

“The poorest fifth of the population are now much poorer [in the UK] than most of the poorest countries in central and eastern Europe,”

If like me you’ve had enough of UK News shows giving these crazy’s huge amounts of screen time whilst failing to explain to viewers the utter insanity of leaving the ECHR & the absolute boll**** they are spouting RT this widely

Clickbait. Boosting bullshit. Reward for extremism. It made Farage. It is making her. Minority voices given way too much airtime. Have they looked at viewing figures recently? If the smaller progressive parties got the same attention as the right wing extremists this would be a…

Dominic Grieve, 'And the Conservative party, as a philosophical idea, is not connecting with the electorate'

'The core policy of Brexit is not delivering the change that was promised, and which ultimately the party has embraced because post Brexit or a referendum, it said it was…

That ladies and gentlemen is how you got screwed. 👇

Ofwat working with the industry to come up with a calculation that was only ever going to deliver one outcome.

You, the customer, the bill payer, the tax payer having to pay more, much more and that is why Ofwat has to go.

The ECHR protects
• the right to a fair trial
• freedom of assembly & expression

'It’s been two years since the UK’s poop-engulfed beaches became a national scandal. Now it’s even worse.'

Something has gone terribly wrong in BBC News. Yes, there are issues of political pressure & bias. But I think more important is the tendency to underestimate audiences, and speak down to them. It leads to gross over-simplification, and treating politics as entertainment. 1/2

14yrs. Total fucking disaster of underinvestment, incompetence, corruption and outright damage. Polling and elections that tell them it’s over and *still* the Tories say their ‘plan’ is working and they should get to stay. Staggering entitlement in the face of their own failure.

I’m sure the Sunday morning politics shows can’t wait to point out to the minister doing the interview round that Civil servants are legally required to follow the civil service code & the code requires them to act in accordance with the law - that includes International law

Here Gary explains why the projections of Labour’s national vote share from the local elections are lower than the general election opinion polls suggest. It is a bit nonsensical to talk about Labour being on course to fall short of a majority because these projections are based…

Being as charitable as possible: I think BBC has questions to ask itself over representation and balance in politics programming. Over-representation of (very) underperforming minor parties, recycling of (very)unreliable rumours. Do they equitably represent the nation they serve?

Congratulations to my dear friend SadiqKhan on his unprecedented reelection as Mayor of London for 3rd time in the face of a vicious campaign fuelled by bigotry & misinformation

A nation’s wealth/greatness is not measured by the number of billionaires but by how it takes care of its children.

The highest rate since records began 20 yrs ago.

What future is the Govt creating?

“The poorest fifth of the population are now much poorer [in the UK] than most of the poorest countries in central and eastern Europe,” says Stephanie Flanders. “They would be better off in quite poor countries in the European Union.”
