Depends on what their liquidity is, too, I suppose. A tiny pin prick can sometimes blow up an entire balloon, especially one filled with hot air... 😜

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.

They're going out of their way to hurt us.

And they're using our money to do it.

Patients rationing insulin costs the US $1.5 billion a year. $800 million would provide insulin for free to everyone.

Homelessness costs the US $100 billion+ a year. Ending homelessness would cost under $20 billion.

Doing the wrong thing is expensive.

There's good reason why the oil and gas industry lobbies so hard for carbon capture - because it's the one 'climate solution' that wouldn't necessarily require shutting down the oil and gas industry

But it doesn't work. They need to be shut down

📢 🚨New Report - How the UK oil and gas industry spent 15 years pushing for subsidies & incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage rather than regulatory accountability or science-based emissions reductions; maintaining a funding pipeline for a technology yet to deliver on its promises 👇

This needs to be communicated better by Labour and other parties on the left to make Reform supporters better understand the monster they’re supporting.

Has somebody not told him the UN's independent commission and the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) have all confirmed that this is a genocide in progress?

I want to know who these 61 fascism-supporting jerks were.
