@andrewpakes_ How's Scottish Water getting on?

[Chris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺 @ChrisEngland81]

@an0n_Nic Agree.

Still don't understand why there seems to be such a blind spot for Blair's 3rd way, which inevitable leads to excessive government.

“I wouldn’t be able to teach my kids to swim where I learn because the water had been polluted by raw sewage that’d make them sick.”

- In 1995, only 46% of English bathing waters met today’s minimum standard. In 2025, 93% did.

- In 1988, only 65% of bathing waters met the far lower minimum standards of the time.

- This is unsurprising. In the 80s, sewage was routinely discharged into the sea. (Not in exceptional circumstances, but as a matter of practice.)

- In Brighton where I live, almost all sewage was pumped directly into the sea without biological treatment until the 2010s.

- Until relatively recently, there was essentially no monitoring of storm overflow discharges of sewage.

- Some bathing waters have got worse since 2019, but will still be far better than they were in 80/90s

- The number of bathing waters classified as poor has increased, but that’s because they are newly classed as bathing waters.

- £12bn is being spent over the next five years to halve the number of storm overflows.

@sedlescombemike @QueenMoub @chrisnulled @elliswayman @Eric38226702 @Michelle_htimS @DPJHodges Is German an ethnicity?

@BBCNews I think you can stop calling them "education protests" now.

[Chris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺 @ChrisEngland81]

@Lord_Talbot64 @Battsby The counter argument is that a gentleman such as Bukayo Saka can play for England but can't consider himself an Englishman.

If the ethnic English supporters identified as Anglo-Saxon instead, then this silly conflation of ethnicity and nationality would end.

@ArchRose90 No. They should be allowed to protest on any day they see fit and certainly not banned.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

@JeremyCordite He's not changing his mind, he's lying to your face.

@QueenMoub @chrisnulled @elliswayman @Eric38226702 @Michelle_htimS @DPJHodges If the ethnic English crowd called themselves Anglo-Saxons then this would all be a lot easier and people would stop talking past one another.

The only fragile and shallow thing here is the conflation of ethnicity and nationality.

@mother_of_rome Is there any scientific merit behind inclusivity training?

@DaleVince "That’s Tory economics, tax the poor - give to the rich."

In 2010 the tax threshold was £6,475. Adjusted for inflation, that would be £10,384 today.

In 2024 it was £12,570

@Victoria_Spratt The House Building Federation have already done this back in May.

Week after week, I try to alert readers to the gravity of Britain’s predicament. I write about our debt being the fourth-largest in the world; about having to borrow £130bn a year; about spending most of that £130bn servicing the interest on past borrowing.
And you know what? Hardly anyone cares. Perhaps the sums are too large to grasp, or perhaps we assume that the people in charge know what they are doing. Either way, there is a chasm between what the electorate expects and what the Government can provide.
Paywall down.

@UniteSharon If the tax threshold in 2010 (£6,475) was linked to inflation, today it would be £10,384

@NewStatesman Women getting bitchy towards a woman making lots of money and getting attention... must be the patriarchy

[Chris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺 @ChrisEngland81]

@DanNeidle It's OK. It was a stretch target anyway.

[Chris 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇺 @ChrisEngland81]

@Heidyll @afneil Although the rates are different between regions, the starting threshold is around £120,000
