IMPORTANT TO RT The Retained EU Law Bill will take away thousands of pieces of law & the Tory govt will just make it up as they go along! Good amendments go thru Lords today & Commons Wed - to protect scrutiny (42D) & the environment (15D). Critical to write to yr MP to vote FOR

Your live sewage dumping map on the morning of Tue 20th June 2023. Welcome to modern Britian.

It's the first day of summer tomorrow. According to the Southern Water map, 40 bathing locations are impacted by sewage. 6 more had releases but remained 'blue' because they apparently aren't impacted. A quite literal s**tshow. Happy summer everyone. #SummerSolstice2023

Surreal new normal of a so-called first world, developed country 😣

Southern Water are basically saying that if we don't want bills to increase by 73% by 2030, they won't #endsewagepollution. Asking us to pay again because the money was used to fuel bonuses and dividends. Sign the petition to put and end to this sh*tshow: buff.ly/3MLg9qH

We face a cost-of-living crisis created by events outside the UK triggering rates of inflation that many in this country have never witnessed before. In the face of these rising prices the Bank of England has increased the price of money itself. This is bizarre. A thread……

It’s crucial that NGOs be in open discussions with all stakeholders involved in the urgent need to solve the dire nature crisis, but evidence shows UK is not at the forefront in any respect. And I’d love to see rhetoric change from “world leading” to “most collaborative country”.

Yesterday Thames Water 💧 told their customers how they should save water 🚿 Today Guardian Environment exposed how Thames Water 💧 are leaking water at their highest level in five years 😲 Shifting responsibility away from themselves and onto their customers. This is gaslighting.

Thank you once again to everyone at Good Morning Britain for being so utterly amazing and supportive. You have been such an inspiration and such a force in helping expose the scandal that is England’s water industry. Tip of the hat. 👏👏👏

A brilliant and detailed assessment of what’s gone wrong, where we are and what needs to happen next. With the terrifying conclusion “Government thinks that saving the private water companies is more important than them polluting our water, rivers and beaches”.
