"Whitehall blueprint for Thames Water nationalisation could see state take on bulk of £15bn debt" Ridiculous. Lenders would only be on the hook for up to 40% of the money (and many much less). If the company's bankrupt, they should lose the lot. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Hang on… Thames Water had zero debt when it was privatised in 1989, it currently has £15.6bn. How much have these ‘lenders’ syphoned off; why is no-one going to prison; and why is the public purse liable for this catastrophic failure? Investors [sic] should be liable surely?

“Apparently reinvigorated by its own arrogance, Southern Water now pleads for sympathy and understanding — oh, and more of our cash. It deserves little of the former and certainly none of the latter.” Me, in @thetimes, just now. 👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/water-…

@carolvorders Strange that we live in a world where Angela Raynor's small scale tax affairs make the front page but Wragg's willy pictures to unknown people and Menzies being locked up by a rent boy don't.

-Mark Menzies’ lover was in the UK illegally after repeatedly being denied admittance. -So I checked Menzies’ voting record. He’s consistently voted IN FAVOUR of deporting people like his former partner to Rwanda. Couldn’t make these people up.

This report from the Telegraph dates back to March 2014. The Tory Party saw fit to appoint Mark Menzies as their trade envoy to … Colombia following these allegations. Reflect on that a moment…

Richard Holden, the Conservative party chair, is the Tory attack dog behind the Angela Rayner allegations alongside Lord Ashworth, James Daly and Dan Hodges. He has known about Mark Menzies’ behaviour for three months. Has he reported him to the police?

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.

On what planet did the Spectator think it appropriate to print this or the author pen it? I'm absolutely gobsmacked.

The government, aided & abetted by @gmcuk & @NHSEngland, insists it's not replacing NHS doctors with cut-price physician associates (PAs). They're lying. Here's an ad for a PA "working as an autonomous, accountable, associate physician". This is a patient safety disaster 🤷‍♀️

@Helen121 @BBCr4today Agree. i must be missing something here but the vetting process for Tory MPs has been sadly lacking for years really. We need a clear out of Tory MPs at the next election. I am sure voters will do their job properly even if MPs can't.
