Thames Water's future in doubt after investor KKR pulls out. TW is financially, environmentally and morally bankrupt, can't be run for profit. Govt must not bail it out, let it collapse, buy for low price, end Thatcher's curse, start a new era. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93l…

Michelle Mone is "stepping back" from the House of Lords. Unless she’s stepping into a jail cell, I don’t want to fucking hear it. NHS workers died due to a lack of PPE, she bought a yacht.

My great great great great grandad was a Stone Mason and I recently got to find one of the altars he carved. It is so delicate and thoughtfully carved. Magical to be able to touch.

SO TIRED of hearing about how the UK’s current hardships are the result of the war in Ukraine and ppl just nodding along with it. BOLLOCKS. We get 4% of our gas from Russia and our energy prices are the highest in Europe. This shitshow is a Tory design, end of story. #c4news

Not sure why this hasn't received more publicity, but this fifty-foot sculpture called "Dignity" was unveiled several years ago in Chamberlain South Dakota. Created by artist Dale Lamphere to honor the women of the Sioux Nation. It's absolutely stunning.

This is horrifying.
This is my daughter. She just turned 9. Here is why I would never allow her to play middle or high school sports if we lived in Ohio…
