Not satisfied with my water provider, the leaks, they dump untreated sewage in the rivers & sea, every summer there’s a hosepipe ban, & they keep raising my bill. Charged twice as Southern & South East water

I know, I’ll switch provider
Oh, I can’t I’m in a monopoly!

Trump has a ‘tell’ when he’s lying.

He always accuses others of doing exactly what he has either done, is doing, or is gonna do himself!

Just had the response from my local Conservative MP, in short;
I do not believe the UN should be allowed to set even higher taxes for families and businesses in the UK when major polluters such as China continue to avoid taking any action on lowering their own carbon emissions.
Emailed my MP for what it’s worth (Conservative) guaranteed he’ll respond in the negative like every other occasion, I’ve written regarding the environment. Like Reform, Conservatives have the fossil fuel industry in their DNA.

Reform taking so many of the ex Johnson appointees, by far the worst ever group of MPs that are in the; ‘What’s in it for me brigade’, hence why they’re so keen and eager to happily switch elegances.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.
