Hoping this platform will be successful and not go down the toxic road.
😃 Just scrolling through posts about #FantasticNegrito while waiting for band Revenant to play and guess what’s playing? ‘Have You Lost Your Mind Yet’. God I love music 🥰🎶

The privatised water companies want the government to hurry up and abolish Ofwat

How is that going to help?

The government should hurry up and REMOVE their licences, starting with Thames Water *which wants to pollute outside of legal limits until 2040*

Water companies press for faster abolition of regulator
Slow pace of reforms means Ofwat is likely to be influencing household bills and infrastructure for another decade

Went to see the magic of #FantasticNegrito on Thursday at the 229 Club in London. Wow. What an entertainer and musician! Plus the band were amazing too. I came out wanting to go see them play again immediately. Some more pix to follow. #livemusic

Without provocation or justification, the President of the United States is attacking our economy, our livelihoods and our national security.



He has put British businesses and jobs on the frontline in his unprovoked war.



The Prime Minister must stand up to him like he would any other bully.

As Trump plans the US’s 250th anniversary celebration, he’s desperate to parade King Charles on the world stage.

The British public should be crystal clear: the Royal Family must not be used to legitimise a reckless President who threatens other nations, and plays fast & loose with global stability

Ooops. I made a boo-boo on a post just now. I was a little incensed and got wrong end of stick. I’ll read things properly in future 😐

Ofwat will be 'investigating' South East Water's abysmal performance, after 30,000 customers were left without water.

🤑Yet its CEO is in line for a £400k bonus.

Ofwat Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds should cut to the chase, and bring SE Water into public ownership.

✍️Sign our petition:

Take South East Water into public ownership NOW
South East Water has failed households in Kent and Sussex. It is time to bring it into public ownership.

The state has already banned octopus farming, and now a Bill to stop the sale of farmed octopus is advancing to the House Rules Committee.🤞

Preventative bans like these are so important for deterring plans to start farming octopus.

NEW: our polling shows Thames Water customers want it taken into public hands.

They don't want a debt deal that would give Thames Water licence to pollute our rivers for the next 15 years.

They don't want a third of their bills used to reward overseas investors.

Public ownership for water now!
Majority of customers want Thames Water to be nationalised, polling finds
Amid soaring water bills and a court battle over a debt bailout for Thames Water, new polling has found its customers want nationalisation.

Seems Canterbury Council want to remove historic lamp posts rather than preserve the history of them as well as that of Canterbury. Above is a link to the petition objecting to this cultural vandalism.

#livemusic Please read the thread. It’s important that our local venues can stay open and thrive if the next generations can enjoy new exciting music and old songs played in a very modern way. Then follow these musicians as they gather momentum and become what they set out to be. #localvenues
For every grassroots music venue that shuts its doors, around 200 gigs vanish from the map. 200 local shows that don’t happen.

No support slots. No first-stage debuts. No tour dates in your town. No gigs = no future for live music. None of the stuff you love. Simple.
