If true this is outrageous.
It seems that Andy Burnhamโs latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds.
Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore.
Labour stand for the hedge funds.
๐จBREAKING
The Financial Times has just revealed that Thames Waterโs US hedge fund creditors are close to agreeing a โlast and finalโ deal to take over the company.
A handover to US hedge funds. A continuation of the privatised chaos. And a huge reward for the people who have run our water into the ground.
The deal would see them allowed to pollute our rivers and seas without consequence - in exchange for an upfront payoff.
This deal is absolutely outrageous, in every regard.
112 MPs have already called for special administration of Thames Water.
A cross-party group of MPs - who scrutinise the Environment Department - have said that the creditorsโ proposal should be rejected and Thames Water should be brought into special administration.
And the former Environment Secretary rejected a previous version of the creditorsโ deal in June. This new version is not better in any way.
@andyburnham promised to reverse Thatcherโs legacy of privatisation. He promised public control of lifeโs essentials.
This really is the moment of truth for Andy Burnham. If he allows the water supply of 16 million people to be sold off to US hedge funds - how can we take him seriously about any of his promises?
NO DEAL to the Thames Water creditors. Special administration now.

On the 8th of September last month, @Ed_Miliband said:
'To those who finance or facilitate illegal settlements... you will face the full force of UK sanctions.'
Just weeks later, ยฃ10.7m of British public funds went to firms tied to illegal jewish settlements.
So which is it, Ed?
1. Is it because you have family occupying Palestine?
2. You buckled when 'israel' closed our consulate in Jerusalem and expelled our diplomats?
3. You lied?
The British public demands an answer.
AJ EXCLUSIVE: The UK awarded ยฃ10.7m ($15m) in new public contracts to firms linked to illegal Israeli West Bank settlements, despite UK govโt pledges to punish companies that profit from settlement activity, an Al Jazeera investigation reveals.

Living in tents surrounded by horror every day - but somehow - it's not enough for Israel.
It has to punish Gaza more and more.

Zelensky is rarely in Ukraine he has just been in Spain and is set to visit Ireland tomorrow.
He goes from one country to the next to avoid going back to Kiev.
European leaders seem to be happy to facilitate this...he's become a kind of human pass the parcel.

Why does the entire planet remain silent on this catastrophe?
Why does the cowardly international community maintain this shameful silence?
Why do politicians refuse to utter a single word of truth in the face of a genocide broadcast live?
And why are we treated as if we are a burden to humanity, or creatures without rights, fated to suffer and die slowly under tents swallowed by freezing rain and floodwaters?
We are not just numbers on a news broadcast. Among us are doctors, engineers, teachers, scientists, technicians, and professionals. We have always been a proud, resilient, educated, cultured, and civilized people who love life and constantly seek peaceโyet we remain steadfast on our land and will never break.
Shame on this world that watches our children freeze and drown, choosing to be complicit through its silence.

THE BARBARISM OF A DYING EMPIRE
A century of colonial occupation proves one undeniable truth: the modern world has lost its pulse.
This calculated cruelty does not mean we do not deserve life; it proves they are utterly bankrupt of civilization. Their bombs, their engineered starvation, and their infrastructure of death cannot extinguish a spirit that refuses to submit.
Our unyielding resilience, our refusal to vanish, and our breath on this land are the ultimate acts of defiance. We remain, because this earth remembers its rightful owners. ๐ต๐ธ

This is a brilliant take down of historians Simon Schama & Andrew Roberts and their shameful view that criticism of Israelโs genocide is antisemitic, by Robert Manne AO. an Emeritus Professor of Politics at La Trobe University
Robert Manne takes down Lord Andrew Roberts, Simon Schama & Jillian Segal on anti-semitism. And I dare say he knows what heโs talking about:

I broke down while filming these scenes. I couldn't bear the scale of the suffering unfolding before my eyes. I tried my best to amplify these families' voices, but what I witnessed was beyond words.
Children soaked, tents completely flooded, and families left exposed to the cold and rain. The world is not just witnessing this tragedy; it is complicit through its silence.
Watch the report for yourselves.
Dragnet's first dispatch from the besieged Gaza Strip: Dragnet contributor @Tamer_Alnoaizy spent hours walking through tents in Gaza's flooded displacement camps, where Palestinians whose homes and neighborhoods were destroyed by Israeli bombs are now sleeping in freezing water.

The government that has supplied arms, that has flown spy flights over Gaza for Israel will not rest until they bring an end to the intolerable suffering in Gaza. How stupid do they think we are?
