Fuel poverty, private companies raking it in while people suffer. When will it be accepted that supplying energy is one of the basics and should be done on a not-for-profit basis. Everything else just screws things up.

How shocking is this ? Surely it's not going to last ?
I wish the lot of them in Parliament would stop yapping and continually fighting amongst themselves and do something for their public for once.
This country is fast going to the dogs !

Increasing poverty borne out by the increase in food banks everywhere.

There's far too many to list IMO but here's one - letting the water companies get away with their sewage dumping practices. My understanding is that nearly all waterways are affected which means that a wide variety and number of wildlife will be affected, as well as humans and our pets. The companies have the funds but they'd rather pay dividends because they just don't care.

Patels policy of shipping asylum seekers to Ghana has been told in no uncertain terms to bugger off by the Ghana’s President.

How embarrassing.

Fisherman living off £100 per month as so much sewage has been pumped into British seawater “everything is dead for miles”

A read statement last week by a Yorkshire vet practice advising people not to walk their dogs on the beach due to a high incidence of dogs with severe vomiting and diarrhoea. The one common link was they’d all been playing on the beach and in the water just hours before becoming ill.

Tories want to copy the “Academy Chain” school model for the NHS.

The purpose is clear. Academy chain bosses rake in £300,000+ in salaries. This is about creating more fat cats & cronies.

I thought that as well as concentrating on incompetence and lies we ought to be looking at the harm that may and is being done as a result of Tory policy.

I’ll kickstart with this

Being reported by Yorkshire Live

Fisherman living off £100 per month as so much sewage has been pumped into British seawater “everything is dead for miles”.

That would also probably explain the hundreds of dead seabirds washed up on the beaches.
