The cuts being made at the BBC are unforgivable. They are putting it into a death spiral. The weaker it gets, the less people will want to support it. And yes, this is an issue for the Government, which likes to pretend it's not their problem. It is.

We invested in our infrastructure and kept our water away from private ownership. England did not. We have seen the sewage that they are dumping into their waterways - and the big bonuses paid to their shareholders of the privatised water companies. It is no surprise that England has a problem! 2/3

So, it is NOT the UK but England/Wales that we are talking about. That rag does not like to admit Scotland exists and so 'UK' suits their narrative. I wonder if WM will think that they just take free water from Scotland? WM who refused a Scotland fund from oil revenue. We should all be Yes now! 3/3

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it
Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Then they just come back in 4 years to try destroy the system again, using the same broken Billionaire Media, the same Billionaire backers who don't pay any tax, robbing the citizens using privatisation to fund the attempt to destroy them They need to be stopped for GOOD

"Legal migrant numbers are at a historic low and small boat crossings have halved, yet that didn’t stop anger at asylum seekers spilling on to the streets. "There is no level of migration low enough to satisfy some people. There is, however, a level of migration low enough to make us all poorer."

Lula delivers a knockoout to Flávio Bolsonaro's mockery: "If there's anyone who knows what the world of work is, it's me. He's never worked a day in his life, his first job was a ghost one, and he comes calling me 9 fingers? The working people are watching, millions of workers get injured"

“When the people concerned are being told that their contribution is insufficient to deserve settlement, yet apparently too important to allow them to leave their occupation, the contradiction becomes clear.”
"The Home Office has identified a new problem with migrant care workers. The people presented as a burden on Britain because they earn too little have become so indispensable that they must be prevented from finding a better or higher-paid job." ukandeu.ac.uk/unaffordable...

Entirely correct from @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social. If you genuinely care about integration/cohesion, making it difficult/impossible for people who came here legally to settle/become citizen is insane. I argued this in evidence to Home Affairs Committee: committees.parliament.uk/writtenevide...

When will this Labour Government stop tinkering? Thames Water is a busted flush. It's worthless. Cheer up the nation. Nationalise it now. Not a penny compensation. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
