So British people are being warned to avoid dozens of beaches around the coast after water companies pumped raw sewage into the sea at multiple locations.

Those Brexit benefits just keep rolling along don't they?

‘I’m just tall’ became something of a catchphrase last night. But it does beg the question - if a group of benignly curious queer people can’t tell, how will the self-appointed toilet police? twitter.com/_natashadevon/stat

From Anne Pettifor:

Asset price inflation and the consequent rise in the wealth of the 1% is so normalised, it is scarcely discussed – even by the 99%. But we have lived through forty years of what Whitney Baker rightly calls “hyperfinancialisation” and an orgy of money-funded speculation. “We know nothing but relentless asset appreciation.”

The rich cannot believe their forty years of ‘easy money’ luck.

This is one of the most important things you will see this year, possibly this decade if not longer. Listen and learn.

Yes! Personally I regard it as a day wasted when I haven't cancelled history, values and women. In a woke kind of a way, obviously. twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status

@Ed_Miliband made an interesting comment to @NickFerrariLBC yesterday. We need to do something about energy prices as it reaches up the income scale. I think that neatly encapsulates @UKLabour @LabourNorthWest thinking today @fjfish

Sentence I just got from an article in the Financial Times about public sector pay:

Fresh evidence of the pressing need to recruit and retain more staff was highlighted in new research by the Health Foundation on Wednesday. It found that the NHS in England could face a shortfall of about 38,000 full-time equivalent registered nurses by 2023-24 if it is to continue to deliver pre-pandemic levels of care.

This shit cannot go on.

In the UK there are a few thousand people who are collectively worth trillions and a few million people who are collectively worth nothing and we're endless asking the "nothing" group to pay for the problems the "trillions" group has caused.

Gas, electricity, water, rail, airports. With so many Tory privatised industries in crisis, it's time to reopen the debate on social ownership.

RT @paullewismoney
Water companies have borrowed £56bn to pay £72bn of dividends to their owners and directors have helped themselves to £58m. So firms are heavily in debt because owners borrowed to pay themselves large unwarranted sums. It is how private equity often works bit.ly/3R3Ozp9

So debased and ignorant has political discussion become, and so weirdly have conspiracy theories spiralled that some people now associate leftwing ideas with that famous Trotskyist vanguard, the, er .... World Economic Forum 🤦 twitter.com/James1357910_/stat

“Only one viable solution”, says @Ed_Miliband on @SkyNews, regarding @UKLabour’s energy plans.

Except that’s not true. There’s another solution: nationalisation.
