Fuck it. It’s been half a day and space Karen has still not fixed it. See you all when blue sky lunches…

Hi @Twitter is it intentional that we now can’t even scroll through Twitter without ‘exceeding a rate limit’ or is a weekend upgrade going not going that well…?

Retweet if that’s ok with you.

Home Office admit placing lone 9 year old in Brighton asylum seeker hotel. A 9 year old… ALONE… in a hotel where children have gone missing before because there were “shortages”

How are they getting away with this? Shocked!

You mean the former CEO of water industry regulator @ofwat is now the acting CEO of Thames Water 💧!

Yes, you couldn't make this stuff up.

Helen Whately explains how she has to swim in sewage with her children because of the Victorian sewage system and it will take 25 years to fix

Doesn't Helen know, since the Victorian times, the Tory party has been in power for the majority of the time to fix these issues? #bbcqt

Anyone know why Andy is so aerated about this..? Worried he’s next perhaps..?

She’s the most despicable person in British political history. She should be nowhere near high office.

Imagine if criminal gamekeeper Francis Addison had destroyed five John Constable paintings . . . the court would have thrown away the key . When will magistrates wake up to wildlife crime . A disgrace from Norwich Magistrates .

Audience member: “It is unfortunate that some of the rhetoric coming from this current govt is in parallel to what happened in the 1930s. As a child I couldn’t understand how the Nazis came to power but now I understand it - we’re starting to ‘other’ other people”

Home Office Suella Braverman MP You lost, in a British Court, to British Justice, administered by British Judges under British Law!
Are you going to get you coat or should i.
Close the door on the way out.

Lady in green, 'As a child I couldn't understand how the nazis came to power. And now I understand it... Truss and Kwarteng tanked the economy, my daughter is paying £400 more a month for her mortgage. They are deflecting all of that by talking about small boats.' #BBCQT

STOP saying 'the British people' want you to 'Stop the Boats' Suella Braverman MP.

You do NOT speak for many millions of us 'British people'!

Over the last year, BBC guidelines have changed.

Where previously they referred to asylum seekers, maybe “asylum seekers making irregular journeys” maybe a mix of asylum seekers & “economic migrants”

The exact same people are called “illegal migrants” by all presenters now.

Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 What absolute rabble-rousing rubbish.
The system isn't rigged against British people: it is an internationally agreed system designed to ensure safety for people fleeing war & persecution.
You could fix the 'problem' by speeding up processing of claims & installing safe routes.

As Sunak and Sewerella jump up and down about the Rwanda ruling today remember - the policy is not designed to address the problem in the Channel, but exploit it as part of populist polarising post-truth politics. And as Johnson allies bleat about the Privileges Committee 1/2

'Thames Water boss Sarah Bentley quits £1.6m a year job after giving up her bonus amid fury over sewage leaks.'

TW aren't the only water company in serious financial trouble which raises the question what the fu*k was @ofwat doing the last 30 years?

Thames water about to collapse according to sky news. Struggling Under 14bn of debit. To be clear they were debt free at privatisation. Paid dividends rather than investing. Board should be personally liable.

Just to put #ThamesWater issue into perspective;

Since 1991, it’s accrued a debt of £54billion.
In the same time, they’ve paid out £57billion to their shareholders.
