Hell yes!
Apparently @DefraGovUK is considering forcing the sale of English water companies to firms that would run them as not-for-profits like Welsh Water.
Such structures are commonplace elsewhere in Europe, with public benefit being the top priority.
Would you support such an idea?
Same old Tory racist rhetoric.
It’s an easy fix, we’ll get it done. We’ll stop brown people.
Victoria Derbyshire, "People voted for the Good Friday Agreement with the ECHR embedded in it"
Robert Jenrick, "Not quite right Victoria.. It did speak of the ECHR but also a Northern Ireland bill of rights"
VD, "You make it sound so simple.. It reminds me of the Brexit days.. All those slogans.. Get Brexit Done.. Brexit Means Brexit.. This paralysed government.. What you're suggesting is the same thing.. The unravelling of an agreement that people worked so hard for, that literally ended The Troubles"
RJ, "I disagree.. It can be navigated.. It's important.. It matters because there are foreign murderers, paedophiles and rapists in our prisons and on our streets who we can't remove from our country because of the ECHR.. It's the reason we couldn't get the Rwanda agreement off the ground"
VD, "You would risk the peace we have since 1998"
RJ, "I'm saying that wouldn't happen"
VD, "You don't know that.. That's what people said about Brexit.. We can get this, we can get that"
RJ, "With all due respect, I've given this a great deal of thought.. I've spoken to our leading jurists"
VD, "Do you think Sir John Major has given this thought?"
RJ, "The broader point that I'm making"
VD, "Sorry, do you think Sir John Major has given this thought?"
RJ, "I don't think Sir John Major would want to be prime minister of a country where thousands of people are entering our country illegally in flagrant abuse of our laws.. This did not happen when he was prime minister.. The challenges have arisen since his time in office.. They've risen because of activist judges in Strasbourg"
"I want to change that, I want our parliament and our people to be sovereign again, so we can tackle these problems"

Good to see the Tories have gone for a numpty and a Nazi. Doubling down to persuade the elderly and window-lickers to vote for them, in the face of all the evidence that it would be a risibly stupid idea to do so.

Dark money servicing the Tories, to aid their campaign to make their rich donors even richer. That’s what people like Jenrick are paid to do…
Robert Peston, "You have received donations from an off shore company.. Which looks at odds with our system.. Why have you done that?"
Robert Jenrick, "That's not quite true.. It's perfectly normal for companies to donate to political parties"
Robert Peston, "This is not a business anyone can find out about as they are off shore"
Robert Jenrick, "That's not true, this is.. The donation was from a British company, not a British Virgin Islands company, registered in companies house, British directors"
Robert Peston, "How many people does it employ? How much profit does it make in the UK?"
Robert Jenrick, "For an abundance of transparency the business person who is behind it has made himself known.. It's a perfectly normal donation"
Robert Peston, "Alright. How many employees do they have in the UK?'
Robert Jenrick, "I don't know, but it's perfectly normal, that's what the rules state"
Jenrick then smirks

But GOD what a thing… Only spent a day with a Rapide but it impressed me hugely…
Well there it goes, probably the best car I've ever owned. Just under three years of happy motoring and my Rapide has gone to find a new home. It depreciated more than I'd hoped, servicing was more expensive than I'd expected and it was thirsty (rarely above 22 mpg)

I reckon @WhisperingBob would love this band… Friday night entertainment at Brubl Brewery, Leamington Spa - Warwickshire not Louisiana…

I never fail to be awed by your eye and talent…
Ferrari 312T - this is turning into one of those works that is a journey or experimenting - an area of colour against a monochrome sketch - like I say it’s a journey…

It’s rained every day.
They’re slippery with a capital S
Replying to @MartinHaven
Could be worse. Could have been a metal ladder out in scorching hot sun, or slippery steps in wet weather. It's only bad if your toes curl up in your shoes like you are trying to hold on to what you are stepping on.

Cool to meet so many excited fans here in São Paulo
