Another day, another water price hike.

Yes, these are new increases.

By 2030 you’ll be paying an average of 35% more for your privately-owned & polluted water.

Sign below if you think it’s time for water to be publicly owned.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

I sometimes worry I exaggerate the collective madness of our media but the people who cheered Brexit, Boris Johnson & Liz Truss's mini-budget are now applauding Kemi Badenoch's speech. 'Parallell universe' doesn't come close. I suppose her not falling over is a win of sorts for them at the moment.

Putin has effectively admitted to shooting down an Azerbaijani plane. The Russian dictator met with Azerbaijan’s President Aliyev for the first time in a year and discussed the crash of the AZAL aircraft in Kazakhstan.

It’s heartbreaking to watch the russians turn yet another Ukrainian city into ruins—while the world seemingly doesn’t notice.

Reform's brilliant DOGE team at Kent council found zero savings and now want to raise council tax. It's almost as if they were lying and haven't got a clue what they're doing.

UAE has no democratically elected institutions, no free speech and an appalling human rights record.

Its economy functions on completely different metrics to the ours & ranks well below us for GDP

No serious person would ever think that we should emulate it.

But here's Tice calling us decadent

Ein Volksverpetzer-Mitarbeiter wurde wegen seines „FCKAfD“-Pullovers im Zug angegriffen. Zuerst pöbelte eine ältere Frau ihn an, wie er es wagen könnte, so etwas zu tragen. Er wollte nicht mit ihr diskutieren, worauf sie ihm die Kopfhörer herunterreißen wollte, was er zum Glück abblocken konnte.
