55 yrs ago this week, 4/17/71, all 4 former Beatles had solo singles in the UK charts:

Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"
Ringo Starr: "It Don’t Come Easy"
John Lennon: "Power To The People"
George Harrison: "My Sweet Lord"

All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.

We’re fighting for transparency over Palantir NHS briefing documents | Good Law Project Wes Streeting is refusing to publish documents that will provide the truth about the risks of Palantir’s systems for handling our health records, so we’re fighting back

In public, Wes Streeting is furiously back-pedaling from his earlier Palantir cheerleading.

But in private he is refusing to let us see what civil servants told him about Palantir

So, with @petergeoghegan.bsky.social, we are taking him to court to try and force him to hand over the briefings.

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed

Investors tell Thames Water to ‘eat humble pie’ over failed takeover and open bids CK Infrastructure says watchdog should intervene to let other firms bid after KKR pulled out

China billionaire owner of Northumbrian Water wants to bid for Thames Water.

NW has 50+ criminal convictions, dumps sewage in rivers, fleeces customers.

90% of England's water is foreign owned.

More of the same can't solve problems.

Must end privatisation. Must nationalise.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Its success, and the moon landings, are only possible due to the ingenuity of an Essex man - Francis Thomas Bacon.

Why? Fuel & something essential for man - water. Read on.

It is twelve years since I pointed out to Nigel Farage that this description
of primary school children would include *his own daughters*. He already knew, of course, but many listeners didn’t. Goodwin is pursuing the same grift.

Politics UK (@politicsuk.com) 🚨 WATCH: Donald Trump says he's unsure if the US will "be there" for the UK in the future "We're always going to be there. Well, at least we were. I don't know about anymore, to be honest with you"

Trump is yet again insulting our brave armed forces just because we refuse to be dragged into his illegal war.

The “toys” he refers to are called HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.

What more will it take for Keir Starmer to call off the King's state visit to the US?

Typical energy bill forecast to rise by £332 a year in July Cornwall Insight says the recent surge in energy prices due to the Iran war is set to push up household bills.

Typical UK energy bill to rise to nearly £2,000.

Trump's illegal war isn't the only reason.

Energy companies have profiteered for years. Ofgem's pricing formula help them.

In high winds, wind turbines are turned off. UK lacks transmission and storage infrastructure.
