Norwich is drying out while water bosses cash in. Anglian Water’s CEO banked a £500k "retention payment" - a loophole round the bonus ban - just as East Anglia was declared in drought. They'll keep filling their pockets as our reservoirs empty until we get public ownership.

1/2 The Financial Conduct Authority's proof-of-concept deal with Palantir moves us in the wrong direction. A company facing allegations of human rights abuses and associated with significant data privacy and national security concerns should not be gaining a greater foothold in our public sector.

1/4 A growing number of higher education institutions are using dirty tactics to undermine staff pension rights, pay and working conditions.

1/4 Many Skilled Worker visa holders sold everything to come here and care for our elderly and vulnerable. They work tirelessly, pay their way, and have no recourse to public funds.

🌊Water shouldn't be a commodity. It should be a public good. Over 160,000 people have signed a petition demanding a referendum on public ownership of water - enough to force a debate in Parliament on Monday 14th September. Help me fill the room: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Ask your MP to attend the water debatePeople are fed up with privatised water companies letting us down and ripping us off. We deserve a real conversation about public ownership. Can you help build pressure by asking your MP to attend th...actionnetwork.org

1/3 Companies such as Palantir supply technology to the Israel Defence Forces that is used in attacks on Palestinians. Yet, instead of holding these companies to account, the UK Government continues to award them taxpayer-funded contracts.

Private rents are part of the cost of living crisis. For some people, rent accounts for 50% of their income. As long as we don’t have enough affordable housing, rent controls should be seriously considered as a solution.

If water were publicly owned, there would be nowhere for any water bosses to hide or manipulate water quality tests. This problem literally only exists under privatisation.

Democracy only works when people have access to the facts. That's why I'm supporting @ChrisGPackham's petition calling for a UK-wide public briefing on climate and nature risks. Help us reach 100,000 signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Petition: Hold a UK-wide briefing on climate and nature risksThe UK faces growing risks from climate and nature breakdown - from extreme weather to economic disruption and national security threats. Yet the public has never been given a clear national briefing ...petition.parliament.uk

Burnham could take this opportunity to show whose side he’s on and also meet with the water campaigners who’ve spent decades exposing criminality deep in the private water sector. If you agree 👇

1/4 Across the country - and increasingly across Parliament - concern is growing about the Government's reliance on Palantir for public sector contracts.

1/3 Last week, I sponsored a reception with @unisoneastern.bsky.social Labour Link. MPs heard directly from UNISON members and @andreaegangs.bsky.social about the Fair Visa Campaign and the Higher and Further Education campaign. Both campaigns deserve our support.

1/4 Over the last few months, Thames Water's creditors tried to make a deal with regulators that would have allowed them to dodge fines and environmental scrutiny for four years.

1/4 I have tabled a parliamentary motion expressing grave concern at the arrest of Dr Mazen Al-Rantisi following a pre-dawn raid on his home in Ramallah.

1/4 After the disaster of privatisation, the water sector needs a fundamental reset - not more tinkering around the edges. Yet the Government continues to muddle through regulatory reforms that ignore the root of the problem: ownership.

1/4 I welcome the Government’s decision to largely protect UK astronomy from the severe cuts that had been under consideration. The Royal Astronomical Society has campaigned brilliantly to get to this point.

1/5 Heatwaves like the one we’re experiencing right now expose a simple truth: climate breakdown is a class issue.

Reform-led Norfolk County Council banning Pride displays and events across the county’s libraries. What we see here is a glimpse at the kind of intolerant and repressive country they would build if ever they formed a government. This then is but a starter. The main course would be even darker.
