This is how companies work. They exist to make profits. Unfortunately people voted the @Conservatives in and they sold off all our utilities. This is the inevitable consequence.
So why didn’t @Conservatives build new reservoirs during your 14 years in power??

It’s clear watching Starmer’s final PMQs that the Labour Party has just made an absolutely catastrophic error, blinded by panic, afflicted by petty opportunist factionalism, and entirely disengaged from the national interest in a dangerous world.
What a huge, huge
blunder. 🤦🏻♂️
This is appalling taste @RoyalMail
You should be above poking fun at people’s misfortunes.
Shame on you.

A man of dignity in an age of indignity.
Thank you @Keir_Starmer for your service to our country.
You didn’t deserve this.

When the hype dies down, the problems in Number 10 remain the same for whoever holds the office. Keir Starmer is already governing through them. Stabilised the economy, invested in our public services, and he walks towards the problems, not away.

Crowning Burnham, if that is what happens, is a gross democratic violation that will not sit well with reasonably-minded voters.
To me, the whole artificial Burnham enablement stinks. A Manchester mayor is given a constructed by-election to enable a return to westminster and could be UK PM in a few months, in extremis, days.
Ridiculous, unserious panic politics
UK politics is increasingly driven by weaponised social media and a barely journalistic right wing press. This is the process that delivered Trump to the US and It seems to me that the UK is now starting down a potentially dark path.
What is so great about Burnham anyway? Can anyone say? What is so bad about Starmer with clown Johnson and incompetent hard-right wrecking ball Truss as recent comparisons. Can anyone say?
As one might put it "If Andy Burnham is the answer then what exactly was the question?"

Andy Burnham hasn’t been in parliament for years. No involvement in international politics, failed twice to lead the Party.
He is extremely out of his depth and under qualified to just walk into number 10.
What he and his associates are doing is reckless.
I am so sorry it has come to this - sorry for you personally and for the country. The first real statesman PM we have had in years.

Listen to me very carefully, @AndyBurnhamGM
Everything you are doing right now is going to cost me, my neighbours, my friends, my family, and every single citizen in this country.
As a former top civil servant rightly warned, this manufactured leadership uncertainty is enormously disruptive and it costs us real money.
We are utterly fed up with paying more for food, for housing, and for our daily cost of living just because of characters like you.
Hope? You talk about hope and you framed the Makerfield election around giving us hope. Is this your idea of hope?
To shake the markets, to drive up prices, to make investors walk away, and to stop us from reducing the debt we carry because of politicians like you?
Is that what you call hope?
How many times is this that you are trying to become the leader of the Labour Party?
You chose to pull this stunt mid term, while this government holds a massive majority in parliament.
No reasonable politician who actually cares about their party or the country would ever do this.
Let me tell you, Andy, this selfish behaviour will bury you politically. You only stay relevant while the media pumps your narrative. What truly awaits you is Josh's team, who will gladly stab you in the back at the very first opportunity.
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the rest of the self-proclaimed left wing who cannot accept that they do not lead this party, they need to take responsibility. If you do not like this party, leave.
Go and build your own far-left party and implement your policies there.
My message to you, Andy, is that I will never stop lobbying against your hypocrisy.
Right now, you are just an ordinary MP who means absolutely nothing more. Even that seat was taken through a manufactured plot with Josh, triggering a by-election just to give you a stage for this theatrical performance.
I have only one single message for @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour:
Keep your word. You won the historic election with Keir Starmer as your leader, so stand your ground and get on with the job.

Labour loses my vote if they don’t stop pfaffing with the leadership nonsense. There’s work to do and right now @Keir_Starmer seems to be the only one who gets that.

.@Keir_Starmer, I understand that you may be considering your position this weekend. I would just like to say as a voter that your rightful position is as our PM and I hope that is how it will stay.
@AndyBurnhamGM @wesstreeting @lisanandy @angelarayner @SkyNews @BBCNews
Don’t you see @wesstreeting @AngelaRayner @AndyBurnhamGM that you are just playing into the hands of Reform and Farage and handing them all the momentum & votes that @UKLabour has built up?
The country wants delivery not your self-centred power games.
This isn’t the way to beat Reform, it’s the way to hand them the Manchester mayoralty and probably Makerfield too
Don’t be so stupid. This is putting no-one first - neither the people of #Manchester who will be abandoned by the person they elected as Mayor, nor the country which needs stability and focused delivery, not @UKLabour to descend to the level of @Conservatives with power games.
So disappointing. We waited so long for a @UKLabour government and you throw it away by making the chaos worse instead of pulling together to sort out the country. There goes any chance of another Labour government.
