Before we joined the EU we were the dirty man of Europe
I'm shocked by how quickly we've return to that filthy status without the protection of EU legislation
We shouldn't have to swim in s*** to enjoy our waterways this summer

For my holiday this year I’ll be visiting my daughter in Glasgow
Sadly, Avanti have cancelled my train
They can’t run the service because they have sent money to shareholders rather than employing train drivers
Time to take back control of our railway

@William_Wragg I’m so sorry to read this, William
You are one of the few amongst the new intake of Tories for whom I have some admiration
Having a good conscience can sap your mental strength
Please rest well and return restored

.@TheGreenParty calls for nationalisation of big five energy firms
And to fix price of energy at a level people can afford
While using differential tariffs to encourage green energy and energy efficiency
The only way to avoid catastrophe this winter

Yes, he’s a local hero in Stroud, @MishalHusain
The rolling blade was first used to trim the nap on the cloth made here
Then adapted for the lawnmower

Strong support for public ownership of utilities
@TheGreenParty agrees that public services should be in public hands
@UKLabour has backed away, chasing a few voters in marginal constitituencies
And ignoring the views of the majority
RT @Survation: NEW: Large sample poll for @We_OwnIt finds strong public support for public ownership.

69% support water being in public sector

Royal Navy backs out of Channel migrant patrols
Just four months after Navy vessels brought in to patrol Channel
Claim was move would help ensure that “no boat makes it to the UK undetected”
More disastrous ‘government’ by PR stunt
An inhumane failure

Brexit means loss of EU workers
Now replaced by global workers facing exploitation and probably breaking UK laws
From fewer than 3,000 visas to over 40,000
The promise of Brexit on migration?
Or another of the #BrexitLies turning into #BrexitReality?

.@MickWhelanASLEF is right to identify signs of rising fascism in UK
Attacks on judiciary, legal attacks on right to protest, and now right to strike

Plus my daughter lives there so I could enjoy the buzz
Heading your way on Wednesday for a cultural tour

Glasgow has an unassailable claim to host Eurovision
Abba created a dreadful rhyme just to include it in their hit Supertrouper
🤔 Or did they just use the city to find a rhyme for ‘last show’?

🏥 🌾🔥 Droughts, fires, NHS crisis, and impossible bills looming
🤬 A government that has gone on a six-week holiday
🧐 How can 37% of people be looking at this and thinking ‘Oh yes, I’ll vote for more or the same’?

NHS is in winter-style crisis in the middle of summer
People are dying waiting for ambulances and waiting for a hospital bed
Remember the £350m on that red bus?
And this ad, saying Brexit would mean more money for the NHS?
They lied, and lied again

So economy is already shrinking
This suggest heavy-handed interest rate rise by Bank of England was mistimed and misjudged
Government intervention to limit energy price rises is vital to curb inflation
Blunt instrument of interest rates is just damaging post-Covid recovery

Something else that hasn’t changed: *conservative* thinking

Hi @JustinOnWeb
We heard from two people from aviation industry this morning, both trying to boost passenger numbers
Can I politely suggest that tomorrow we might hear from somebody concerned about the impact of aviation on the climate crisis?
@FlightFreeUK perhaps?

Gordon Brown is right
When markets fail only governments are powerful enough to act as lender/supplier of last resort
When it is something as vital as energy (or money) they have a moral duty to do so
Only govt can fix energy price at affordable level

🤪 @JamesCleverly living up to his ironic name choice again
🤓 You take the tax money from some people and give it to other people
🧑🏿🎓 And slightly more sophisticated: you tax money from people who have more of it and give it to people who have less of it
