What an uninspiring pledge by Steve Reed to halve sewage pollution from water companies by 2030! He also announced £104 billion of private investment, which is nothing to do with government then, and there's no commitment to how it's spent. #waterscandal news.sky.com/story/environm…

Typical politician: Steve Reed said he hoped reform of the water industry would mean they “never again” have to increase bills as they did last year. However, when asked if he would allow further increases, he said the decision would be up to regulators! theguardian.com/business/2025/…

From initial costs of £14.2bn to build the new #SizewellC nuclear plant, to £20bn five years ago, and now the cost of the project, revealed on Tuesday, is £38bn! Another out of control UK infrastructure project, like #HS2. news.sky.com/story/uk-gives…

From the politicians to the clowns on here, arguing against the £22/hr being demanded by striking #juniordoctors - you're all a disgrace. The way the public and private sectors in this country are treating qualified #graduates with, frankly, pathetic pay, is scandalous.

Physician assistants are paid nearly £10,000 more than fully qualified doctors. Even *with* full pay restoration, doctors would earn less than their own assistants. £22.67/hr for a doctor isn’t just fair, it’s a bargain for the level of skill and responsibility they have.

🚨 Angela Rayner has given councils permission to sell off allotments to raise money. 8 sell offs of ancient rights have happened so far, including to build houses. The history of allotments goes back to the 1500s and is tied deeply to land access, food security, and social

The levels of incompetence in securing our borders is off the chart. 'Smash the gangs' Keir Starmer said. We have 25,000 unknown immigrants crossing our borders so far this year, and protest groups infiltrating RAF bases. Security is a joke. But we come down hard on protest!

I review everybody’s comp, up to this day... every cycle. They send me the recommended comp. I sort through all 42,000 employees and 100% of the time I increase the company’s spend on opex. “If you take care of people, everything else takes care of itself” timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tec…

Since The Labour Party returned to power Ministers, including Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood MP, have 'decided' to save money by not reimbursing a wrongly convicted man who had to pay £37,000 bed-and-board payments. FFS! nation.cymru/news/judge-uph…

Huge problems at the Alan Turing Institute, but mostly because it is publicly funded and operates like a research charity (pay scales are frankly pathetic) - while being beholden to a government trying to be relevant in the AI space on a budget. More disrespect to the great man.

Fantastic win for the Los Pumas against the All Blacks in the #rugbychampionship2025. Their carrying, their offensive running, their offloading in the tackle - all superb. #ARGvNZL
