You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
🚨🎙️| Roy Keane:
“People will call me harsh, but I’m being honest, Burnley played against Arsenal and the officials. That’s what I saw. Arsenal fans can get angry all they want, but deep down they know some of those calls were embarrassing. Maybe this title race is being decided before the ball is even kicked.”
“Burnley were robbed, absolutely robbed. I’ve seen poor refereeing but this felt different. Every key moment somehow favored Arsenal. Funny that, isn’t it? After all these years without a title suddenly everything starts going their way. If that’s football now, we’re in trouble.”
“I don’t want excuses from Arsenal fans because if this happened to them they’d be screaming corruption for months. Burnley never got a fair chance. The referee had an absolute shocker and VAR? Don’t get me started. At some point you start asking questions, are Arsenal actually that good or are they just getting carried?”

Great work from @BBCWales. Keep going

Trump is now giving pardons out to his fucking wealthy friends. These ppl were convicted and ordered to pay millions for cheating ppl out of their money. With his pardon their debts were wiped out (hang in to see her list). Why isn’t this making the headlines?
'I think Steve Reed now needs to resign and hand the job over to somebody who can be more effective'
Campaigner Feargal Sharkey told #BBCBreakfast a major report into the water industry in England and Wales is a 'disappointment' and the Environment Secretary should quit because he's lost control

@Lord_Sugar told @amolrajan:
“Go back into Europe. I’ve never met Starmer, but if I ever did, I would ask him what mechanism would it take to effectively get down on your bended knees and beg to be allowed back in again.”
“Brexit is the biggest disaster I’ve experienced in my whole lifetime and business career.”

Important study on Covid deaths from France’s prestigious Institut Pasteur. Boris Johnson’s refusal to lock down quickly meant the UK ( Royaume-Uni for non French speakers ) had the highest death rate in Western Europe.
"Nosferatu" knocked me out, so I felt fortunate to be able to spend time talking with thoughtful director Robert Eggers about how this passion project he'd been working toward for more than 30 years got made. Fascinating. https://t.co/GeLz5KlZMQ
@KennethTuran@alissamarie I always sit through the closing credits. I get up to leave when the lights come back on. I'm usually the last out, walking past the cleaner who has been patiently waiting for the last minute or two.
