UK water companies made £340m by pouring billions of litres of industrial and commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works.

Treatment works are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland.

@HespeChris34466 It’s a rather woeful response, I agree. I couldn’t be more disappointed to see the Party’s rationale utterly neglects women. The Party is inclusive except of 51% of the population 😞👎

What an absolutely ridiculous conversation England is having about its extreme ideological experiment with privatisation

It's really not that complicated

9 out of 10 water systems worldwide are in public ownership (1/6)

If there's one thing that ought to unite all women across the political spectrum, it's protecting our rights. Well done @hollowood_zoe Such a travesty how many MPs think it is progressive to disrespect the significance of sex differences. Listen @unitetheunion @unisontheunion

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere.

Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.

"Feargal Sharkey: Burnham’s water plan won’t fix the sewage crisis."

The problem with the water industry is ownership, fix that you fix the issue. Anything else, is irrelevant.

"Public ownership of water industry could save £22billion, MPs are told."

Oh look, you were lied to, nationalising the water industry isn't going to cost you billions, it could in fact save you £22 billion.

Who'd have guessed it.

Reform's released a mobile game that breaches Google and Apple's rules on hate speech. I've just added my name to demand the app stores remove it, will you join me? >> https://t.co/LtKUbQCu3k

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations.

Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK.

You can watch the full investigation here: https://t.co/f1g358fN2Y

Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.

B&Q and Five Guys among over 650 UK employers that paid staff less than minimum wage.

I bet none underpaid their bosses.

Puny penalties don't deter.

The fine should equal the salary of the entire board, with 50% payable by directors.

@CraigMurrayOrg @AdamRamsay @ZackPolanski @andrewfeinstein You think a man who preyed on women's vulnerabilities and took their money to increase their breast size through hypnosis is a person worthy of trust to represent a constituency? Judge a person by their actions, not their words.

[Alison Teal 🍃💚🍃 @alisonclareteal]

@shadowcanman @Harryyayyay Thank you for your excellent work. It would be very interesting to know how it compares with funding for women's domestic abuse charities and rape crisis centres run as charities.

@clur_roberts Thank you for sharing. Huge congratulations to your daughter! I hope Oxford is everything she's imagined it will be. Well done on being a super supportive mum, you must be bursting with pride, and rightly so 😃

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And here's the bit that should make your blood boil, the @EnvAgency were charged with changing all of that 23 years ago and what have they achieved in over 2 decades?

Yep, nothing, in fact less than nothing....

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

🚨BIG BREAKING NEWS (that's going to surprise absolutely nobody)

While only 14.3% of England's rivers have "good ecological status", the figure is 66% in Scotland where water is in public ownership

Andy Burnham must reverse this mess, beginning with Thames Water: https://t.co/Hb9j7LWIKO

[Alison Teal 🍃💚🍃 @alisonclareteal]

112 MPs have called for special administration of Thames Water. Over 10,000 of us have signed the petition for you to bring it into public hands. You've even said this 'should' happen. Will you make good on your promise, @AndyBurnham? @we_ownit https://t.co/gKn4gQ4QsV https://t.co/b5MYkUvBVI

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

England is the home of 85% of the world's chalk streams, a crucial part of the UK ecological system.

Despite criminal convictions water companies continue to destroy it by dumping raw sewage.

I asked the Minister to revoke their licence to operate.

Watch the Minister's reply.
