SAY IT WITH US. PRIVATISED WATER IS A DIRTY BUSINESS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE169GQ

The Channel 4 docudrama 'Dirty Business' is exposing the real danger that sewage pollution poses to our environment and our health.

All while shareholders receive billions in dividends.

It's time to end the failed privatisation experiment and bring water back into public hands.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS.

Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records.

Tell the government to end the contract!

A group of protesters stand outside the glass-fronted Endeavour House in Ipswich, holding bright green placards that read "Face the Voters". In the centre, a person holds a hand-drawn white sign that says, "Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote! - George Jean Nathan. Now nobody can vote? Vote yes May 2026." The group includes people of various ages, including a person in a wheelchair in the foreground and a person in a bright green coat on the right. The modern building reflects the sky and the surrounding city.

The government U-turned on cancelling May's elections - they’re back on! 🗳️

Ipswich Greens campaigned outside the council for our right to vote, and were heard.

Starmer appoints Antonia Romeo as head of UK civil service Dame Antonia will be the first woman to hold the post and replaces Sir Chris Wormald as the UK's top civil servant.

And the clock starts ticking. How long before Starmer has to u-turn on this decision

Has @itvpeston.bsky.social got a @zackpolanski.bsky.social problem. He has spent most of his programme with his back to Zack, talking to the two people who are supposed to comment on what the guest has said.

All this talk about what did Starmer know about Mandelson before he appointed him US ambassador is a bit weird. Talking to ex Labour members we were aware in the Blair years that Mandelson was a creepy man always in the shadows and willing to do anything to preserve the Blair Project. Never changed

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

So the Labour Government has agreed with the Labour Ipswich Borough Council and Conservative Suffolk County Council to deprive you of your democratic right to have you say in Locsl elections this May 2026.
You know what you need to do.
