Seven large blocks of flats in NW London discharging raw sewage directly into vulnerable Thames tributaries 🤮 This takes us back to pre-Victorian times with our rivers literally being treated like open sewers ⁦Thames Water 💧⁩ is a failed business 😡 bbc.com/news/articles/…

I am SO sad. No support for a ban on bailing out water companies nor for public ownership. Just 2 Greens, me & Natalie Bennett, and Prem Sikka in favour. (Oh and 82% of the public.) Moving a vote was pointless. It was the 3 of us against Labour, Tory, Lib Dem and Crossbench apathy.

The allegory for our times

Life for everyone on this planet is about to change in unimaginable ways. We could’ve stopped if we’d acted instead of letting the media tell us the science wasn’t certain. We must act now. A holiday park near Northampton, UK, yesterday #StormBert

Today, we are ALL middle-class women of a certain age.

Most of this afternoon has been 2024 Bob Lambert disagreeing with 2013 Bob Lambert about what 1984 Bob Lambert knew. #spycops

I’ve worked alongside the fab ⁦Mary Colwell⁩ for years on the Natural History GCSE & it was *not* a Tory initiative. It was agreed due to huge pressure campaigners brought to it. It’s a pity we’ve got to do it all over again with Labour -but we will! theguardian.com/environment/20…

"Santa surf fundraiser cancelled after SWW sewage discharge." Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas from South West Water the WC that not only paid shareholders £125m in dividends and gave their CEO a £300,000 pay rise even through they made a £38.8m loss and yet still managed to poison a

While it’s not a chart, I’ve also just realised that when you scroll through the story on your phone, the BBC have placed the only man in the list of ‘100 influential and inspiring women’ at the No2 spot. You see his story a full 23 places above that of Gisele Pelicot.

Great to be able to argue for a #WealthTax. The Chancellor was simply wrong to claim there was no alternative to policies that hit the less well-off. It’s a political choice to maintain the 2 child benefit cap, to scrap the winter fuel payment & fail to tax wealth #Newsnight

Can you help us? We've been reporting on the #spycops inquiry since it began, but its rush to finish means the final 3 sets of hearings will be several months long each. Our team can't afford to cover that without recompense. If you can afford to donate: paypal.com/donate?token=P…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

And still it goes on. Anyone out there know what the legal position is with regard to hunts just running over your land without consent. I have told them to stop and get their stupid dogs off but police are pretty useless with regard to these things. Can I get a banning order ?

Remember this. Alan Lovell, chairman of the EA "I think it's really important that we are taking a balanced view to deliver best results." Nicola Cutcher, journalist "I think it's really important you enforce the law." Audience erupts in applause.

Ha! Well said Nicola Cutcher
