It’s only a matter of time before the courts decide there has been overreach by the government and throw this pathetic ban out. The Home secretary and PM should ashamed of themselves. And all this as those they seek to protect perpetrate a genocide in plain sight against said Palestinians

UK Homelessness minister threw out her tenants - then increased rent by £700 a month. Rent increased from £3,300 to £4,000 a month, 21% increase. As Mahatma Gandhi said: "Be the change that you wish to see in the world". archive.ph/Pcl6U

Our water companies are led by crooks and con men, fine them, insist they pay the fines (they normally don't), force them into bankruptcy, nationalize at no cost.

UK govt is wrong on the cost of bringing England's water back into public ownership. Its £100bn number has no economic/legal basis. The cost of public ownership is "closer to zero". Companies are bankrupt, their shareholders and lenders have already extracted billions.

All wages should increase each year by the rate of inflation, this should be a legal requirement outside of any negotiations. Any year when your wage increase doesn't match inflation you have had a pay cut.
