Ash Sarkar. I was not aware of her before this Question Time. Everything she said was what our politicians won't still say because what she said is fact.
A rare silence in the panel and audience while she just said it as it is. Brilliant. Dear Ash Sarkar please also go to bsky as X is a no for me.
Political commentator Ash Sarkar says privatisation is a “failed experiment” that has “cost this country dearly” and “our money has been paid out to shareholders”

Why do we have such a problem with understanding that in this world you really can have enough - You can't take it with you.
Remember when hard work was meant to pay off?

New analysis from the Resolution Foundation shows it would take 52 years of typical earnings (£1.3 million) to climb from the middle to the top of Britain’s wealth ladder.

Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water
Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies.

They've not invested. Instead they've taken out £80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with £70 billion in debt.

Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

My bill has gone up 40.7%! When is this Government going to start govern and do the right thing for the people? There can only be sticky fingers in sticky dirty pies. I can't pay and I won't pay. Possibly I will end up wasting Police time.

All of you best pray of Dolly.
She is to be protected at all costs.

I don't even believe in a higher power, but damned if I'm not going to pray for her tonight.

Dolly asks, I shall provide.
Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.
