Completely infuriating

Competition & Markets Authority said requests from 5 private water companies to increase bills AGAIN were "largely unjustified"

But your bills will still rise

This is all unjustified

There is no market, PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW

Customers of five water firms are facing higher than expected hikes to bills

While most claims for extra cash were found to be unjustified, rises to bills on top of what Ofwat has allowed look set to be granted at each company

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.

Josiah, I would have already become a paid member of Your Party if I knew the answer to the question you pose here.

Josiah Mortimer @josiah.writes.news · 12h

Two Qs for UK politics nerds:

1. Is Zarah Sultana still the co-leader of Your Party?

Their Electoral Commission filing only listed Corbyn (co-leaders not allowed on EC docs, mind). The launch vid only had Corbyn in it. But I've just had a presser from a YP branch saying she's still co-leader (1/2)

Burnout isn’t a personal failing, it’s a structural problem.

People are being signed off sick with stress at an exponential rate. It’s unsustainable.

It’s time to do something about it.

A Department for Education spokesperson said: “Schools and colleges will retain the freedom to decide what programmes of study to offer regardless of these changes, which are aimed at prioritising subjects we know lead to good jobs and drive economic growth”. This is really terrible!

“In the letter, the government said it would be “reprioritising” the funding of post-16 education in England to focus on “larger than normal maths and high-value A-level programmes to support the pipeline of students for priority sectors””. Grim.

I am currently single without a girlfriend. I would happily be cuckolded by my future girlfriend. I would unconditionally love my future girlfriend, want to please her and to make her happy.

Opinion | You can tag as much faux spirituality on this as you like, but these are traditional (read patriarchal) gender roles, repackaged for the modern dating scene – and it needs to be consigned to the dustbin
