Barry Gardiner MP has the receipts; showing that England's water companies are persistently failing in their statutory duties. As Secretary of State for the Environment Angela Eagle already has the power to take them into Special Administration. "She can. She should."

“Fewer people standing on their own two feet.” Those were Helen Whately’s chosen words while attacking millions of people receiving benefits. As a wheelchair user, I may not always be able to stand on my own two feet, but I am a content creator, disability-rights activist, volunteer and unpaid carer. Social security is not evidence of cultural decline. It enables disabled people to live independently, supports people in work and protects families when circumstances change. And when Whately was confronted with figures showing social-security spending is forecast to remain stable as a proportion of GDP, her answer was: “It’s been too high for too long.” So this isn’t really about spending “spiralling”. It is an ideological decision to provide less support, and disabled people are expected to pay the price. #HelenWhately #DisabilityRights #SocialSecurity #PIP #UniversalCredit

Thousands of young people could lose key disability benefits Govt could limit the Personal Independence Payment (Pip), and further strip Motability support. Hope the govt sees sense and doesn't repeat Starmer policies. Why not end corporate welfare? independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

All the investment in our water system comes from one place: customers' bills. The government needs to bring not just water back into public ownership, but every critical asset that this country has under our control, owned by us.
