Regular reminder that the so-called CPS "policy expert' quoted here was the author of the "£234 billion cost" number quotes by Reform and Jenrick, and CPS which had to withdraw when they finally admitted it was based on two simple and obvious arithmetic errors.

Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

In case it wasn't already obvious why Farage and his party are spreading misinformation about the climate crisis and trying to blame the most vulnerable for the problems caused by inequality - they've just received a record donation from a jet fuel multimillionaire!

A timely reminder that the definition of the word ‘farage’ is the liquid found at the bottom of a waste bin or container.

How National Lottery can do the right thing:
🟢 Exclude GB News and TalkRadio from their broadcast ad strategy.
🟢 Exclude the Daily Mail, Express, and the Sun from their print ad strategy.
🟢 Stop running ads on X.
**Tell all of the above to their ad agency.

Harrods sells itself as a high-end top-quality retailer where a big Turkey can cost £130. The truth is Harrods turkey’s come from factory farms where animals are treated with routine cruelty and disregard.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

AI is a climate issue. AI is a climate crisis.
A few important points here

- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false

- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE

“Some party hack decreed that the people

had lost the government's confidence

and could only regain it with redoubled effort.

If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,

If the government simply dissolved the people

And elected another?”

Facial recognition technology = mass human rights violations.

Again and again, this technology has been proven to be discriminatory against racialised communities.

Make no mistake: this is a decision to further entrench racism within policing.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.
