When Fines are not Fines. 6 August 2024: Ofwat announced £168m fines on three water companies – Thames Water £104m; Yorkshire Water £47m; Northumbrian Water, £17m. ZERO paid. Companies with 400 criminal convictions negotiate what and when they will pay.

East Anglian farms breach environment regulations 700 times in 7 yrs. Waterways contaminated, dead animal carcasses left outside rather than in sealed containers, overstocked with livestock, irregularities in disposal of farm waste. All to boost profits.

UK childhood mental health crisis to cost £1.1tn in lost pay, study finds. More than 500 children a day in England are referred to mental health services. Austerity, poverty, wage/benefit cuts have lifelong costs. Govts ignore long-term impacts.

Now Trump wants to 'take over' Gaza, own it 'long term', after Palestinians are removed and turn it into "Riviera of the Middle East". Stupid or ignorant. So far he wants to control Greenland, Panama, Canada, now Gaza. What next?.

A&E Crisis Shows the NHS Is Getting Worse & the Govt Has No Real Plans to Fix It. Political choice, part of privatisation strategy. Govts that bailout banks, energy companies; fund wars, hand subsidies & tax cuts to corporations/rich can relieve suffering.

BVI accused of ‘shameful’ attempt to avoid financial crime crackdown. UK has responsibility for good governance, does little. UK Crown Dependencies, Overseas Territories, City of London are global fiddle factories; launder 40% of the world's dirty money.

In 2023, UK govt gave £70.6bn tax relief on pension contributions. 63% went to 6m 40%/45% tax rate payers. 37% to 28.1m basic rate taxpayers. By fixing the relief at 20% (other variations possible) Govt can reduce inequalities and have £14.5bn spare. Watch the Minister's reply

Brexit Curse. Efforts to keep potentially disease-ridden meat out of the UK undermined by post-Brexit border checks. Illegal meat sold on most High Streets. Brexit is a disaster. Must rejoin, boost economy, health, worker rights and stand-up to Trump.

BVI accused of ‘shameful’ attempt to avoid financial crime crackdown. UK has responsibility for good governance, does little. UK Crown Dependencies and the City of London are global fiddle factories. 40% of the world's dirty money is laundered by them.
