Hang on…

Thames Water had zero debt when it was privatised in 1989, it currently has £15.6bn.

How much have these ‘lenders’ syphoned off; why is no-one going to prison; and why is the public purse liable for this catastrophic failure?

Investors [sic] should be liable surely?

Thames Water could be nationalised with Govt taking on its £15bn debt.

Wrong.

Thames can't repay debt. Alternative value of assets (pipes/reservoirs) is low. Logic of capitalism dictates that lenders take a hit.

Govt only needs to pay pennies in the £.

I'm so old, I remember when Tory MPs who were blackmailed by rent boys probably paid up with their own money

Just a very normal democratic country, doing very normal democratic things...

Richard Holden, the Conservative party chair, is the Tory attack dog behind the Angela Rayner allegations alongside Lord Ashworth, James Daly and Dan Hodges.

He has known about Mark Menzies’ behaviour for three months.

Has he reported him to the police?

Which of these topics will be uppermost in your mind when casting your vote in the upcoming elections?

Remember when Tory MP Ben Bradley accused working-class people of spending free school meal vouchers in brothels and crack dens? Turns out his colleagues settle those kinds of bill with campaign funds.

The Government is planning to renationalise Thames Water and pay off £15.6bn of their debt.

NO, let them go bankrupt and nationalise for nothing.

So, I'm sorry to keep banging on about this, but the absurdity of the Menzies case is mind-blowing.

I mean, the whole dodgy hostage situation and history of some really bad behaviour in the past is already bad enough, but who, with even the tiniest shred of dignity, calls a 78…

One or two of my correspondents on twitter have suggested that I preach the gospel here more often, rather than be political.

So, today the first reading at mass was the story of Philip baptising the Ethiopian eunuch from Acts 8. We therefore celebrate the fact that a…

So Ofcom can you please explain how you allow this utter BS to be broadcast . It’s not only plainly stupid - it’s dangerous . Bill McGuire Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 ScientistsForXR Please RT Ofcom need to get out of bed and start regulating .

I just voted on amendments to the Tory Rwanda Bill.

It's another Tory attempt to scapegoat others for the mess they've made.

Refugees didn't create the NHS crisis.

Refugees didn't create the housing crisis.

Refugees didn't slash your wages.

This Tory Government did that.

Tories think getting one plane to Rwanda would be ‘proof of concept’.
What concept?
That govt has been made mad by its own failure.
That they’ve wasted millions on a grim publicity stunt that hurts people and solves nothing.
That populist prejudice is a grotesque abuse of power.

STOP INTERVIEWING LIZ TRUSS. Speaking as an intergalactic space warrior with a bin for a head and a Ceefax fixation, she’s not a serious person.

Racism & hate are a cancer in our society that is spreading to every organ.

Our government, our celebrities, our media & our streets.

And just like cancer it's weakening our ability to function as a strong, healthy nation.

Sad.

Oh dear, Mr Bob Seely MP, you are out early this week spewing some interesting numbers...

Let's jump right in, shall we?

In today’s lecture from the University of Speculative Mathematics, Professor Bob Seely stars with a tweet that flirts so aggressively with fiction that it…

Bob Seely MP 1) those figures are for health social care, not just the NHS.

2) those figures include PPE fraud and dodgy Tory VIP lanes

3) those figures include the money draining out to private agencies to plug staffing shortages.

4) that includes the money skimmed of to private CEOs
