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%
An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I've been Labour my whole adult life, but I can't disagree with this.

Reform are indistinguishable from the National Front in 1995. And Labour are indistinguishable from Tories in 1995.

That's not a progressive option. That's the other thing. It's complicity when we need radicalism. It's failure.

"Polanski is adamant that Labour no longer deserves to be thought of as progressive.

"The Labour Party is so dead and gone in terms of being a progressive force. You don’t need to be in the Labour Party: @greenparty.org.uk time is now.”

Labour vs the left
While Keir Starmer focuses on the threat of Reform and the populist right, is his real problem a resurgent progressive politics?

This Wednesday let's remind the Government that free speech is alive and well by protesting against Trump's state visit.

Trump, MAGA, Musk and their attacks on human rights, accountability, and the rule of law are not welcome here!

Despite the media attention he receives, Farage does not represent the majority of people in Britain, nor the values that our country is built on - cooperation, democracy, fairness, human rights and the rule of law.

Don't let him persuade you his policies are popular.

Leaving the ECHR won't fix migration. But it will:
Destroy our relationship with Europe.
Destabilise the UK.
Put us in Putin's camp.
Take away protections for our human rights.

Nice bit of local press coverage in the Cambridge Independent for Unlicensed!

A two-page spread is a fantastic and I’m pleased they included so many of the cast in the photos.

Also, spot the name error on the main photo!😂😂

UK falling behind EU on environmental rules amid post-Brexit rollback
UK falling behind EU on environmental rules amid post-Brexit rollback
Exclusive: Labour ministers choosing to weaken green protections inherited from the bloc, analysis reveals * From clean air to pesticides: how UK has lagged behind EU on the environment The UK is using Brexit to weaken crucial environmental protections and is falling behind the EU despite Labour’s manifesto pledge not to dilute standards, analysis has found. Experts have said ministers are choosing to use Brexit to “actively go backwards” in some cases, though there are also areas where the UK has improved nature laws such as by banning sand eel fishing. The planning and infrastructure bill, which overrides the EU’s habitats directive and allows developers to pay into a general nature fund rather than keeping or creating new habitat nearby to make up for what is destroyed. The UK falling behind on water policy, with the EU implementing stronger legislation to clean rivers of chemicals and microplastics and making polluters pay to clean up. Air pollution, as the EU is legislating to clean up the air while the UK has removed EU air pollution laws from the statute book. Recycling and the circular economy, as the EU enforces strict new standards for designer goods that could leave the UK as a “dumping ground” for substandard, hard-to-recycle products.

Lots of time and effort has gone into the Independent Water Commission, which reports tomorrow. Unfortunately, it's a largely wasted exercise, because the government insisted that renationalisation of the water companies was outside its terms of reference: ie, it was not allowed to consider it.🧵
