Email #Ofwat - the public have said NO to illegal #sewage until 2040

In order to maximise their #profits, #Thames #Water's creditors are asking Ofwat and the government to pollute illegally until 2040.

Members of the public, MPs and #anti-sewage campaigners have all spoken out about how outrageous this deal is, urging Ofwat to say no.

Take half a minute to sign the letter:

The Australian government is expanding private health insurance to cover major dental work. They say it's to reduce out-of-pocket costs and ease pressure on public hospitals. But let's be clear: further privatising essential medical care was never going to benefit the end-user. This isn't a solution; it's a subsidy to the insurance industry, forcing people to buy expensive, complex policies just to afford basic health procedures like crowns or dentures. It entrenches a two-tiered system where your health depends on your wealth, doing nothing to address the core problem of underfunding in public dental care.

Why Labor Pretend Reform Is Not the Change We Were Promised

Labor pretend reform is failing Australians. Real change is possible—but only if we stop accepting political theatre as genuine progress.

#LabourLies

There’s no other way to dress this up, except for the headline: the Labour Party just oversaw a £1.3 BILLION SELL-OFF of NHS community services to a private equity firm, in Wiltshire.

UK Government urged to reform energy markets and reverse cuts

#Scotland's social justice secretary has urged the UK Government to reverse the cut to the winter fuel payment, which she said has had “devastating consequences” north of the border.

Shirley-Anne Somerville said reform of the #UK #energy markets is needed and urged Westminster to take action to address the root causes of fuel poverty and volatile energy prices.

This is why I find so called 'smart' meters, currently, a nuisance

An #electric/gas meter has always been the property & responsibility of the power corporation

#SmartMeters have a 1 year warranty, after which the homeowner needs to pay to get it fixed!

Quite simply, life continues to get worse in the #UK

Airport #parking: Stop at traffic light = £170

They sent him photos clearly showing his car at red light as pedestrians cross #Bristol #airport’s private, for #profit parking contractor #VCS refused his appeal twice, now using debt collectors

Bristol airport is not alone in charging drivers to collect or drop off passengers or using private companies to ruthlessly enforce the rules, even when they defy reality
