The Outsiders touring exhibition on homelessness and substandard housing opens next at Newcastle City Library on the 10th of July. Copies of the book will be available for purchase from the library shop.

Our rivers are a toxic cocktail of chemicals and pollution. 💊🦠 "Sewage works could install tertiary treatment to remove many chemicals, but it is expensive." It's a shame WCs have no money left after paying dividends and sky-high bonuses, isn't it? pulse.ly/zqpuzykpxk

Jack Karlson, who became famous for his arrest during a "succulent Chinese meal," has died at the age of 82

By now, public trust in these institutions has become as eroded as the infrastructure. The new government and regulators must cut the crap and give us a full and undoctored picture of our broken water system. ❌💩 #sewagescandal pulse.ly/cjeopf3uf2

Damn that watershed_investigations map is terrifying. River Lea at Ware, tests positive for 39 different chemicals capable of liver damage, carcinogen, kidney damage, hormone imbalance, toxic to fauna and flora and death amongst other things. I've been fishing that river for 25 years. 😱

"'Avoid the sea!': Disbelief as lifeguards yell for people to stay away." It has come to this. Lifeguards having to use loudspeakers to beg people not to swim, South West Water has being dumping sewage since last Wed. So how's your family holiday going? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

And if you thought staying in town in an effort to avoid the sewage scandal was an option you'd be wrong. Sewage warnings issued for Wimbledon Common, Putney Common, Barnes Common and Richmond Park as Thames Water 💧 dump sewage into Beverley Brook. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

#trumpet impresario Paul Higgs came up from #London to #Stockport for a promotional photo session last week. Pleasantly chuffed with the results. #jazz #trumpet #musician #composer #musicfestivals fairhurstfoto.com #photographyisart

"Beautiful UK beach on ‘don’t swim alert’ after sewage leak as furious locals hit out" I would think running a small business based on a tourism economy is pretty tough going most of the time but hey along comes South West Water to make it even harder. 🤬 express.co.uk/news/uk/193779…

Reform needed, and now, not next week, not the week after, not next year, but now!!!

Will photographers ever learn that bullying homeless people into letting you take their photo, then objectifying them to win you a prize without even finding out their name, is exploitative? It isn’t even a good portrait in my view. Disgusted by this.

From St Austell in Cornwall to the Thames Estuary by my reckoning there are currently 87 different locations where sewage is being dumped on beaches and into the sea. So how's you're bank holiday weekend going?

And if you needed any more evidence of Ofwat's complete, total arrogance and incompetence here it is. "Ofwat found that rising number can’t afford water – but approved bill hike anyway." That is why Ofwat needs to go. #floodthestreets inews.co.uk/news/ofwat-fou…
