As I have always said, one day a politician will bring Britain back home to where it belongs - at the centre of our common European destiny! 🇪🇺🇬🇧

"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry."

People in Whitstable and Kent really do get it from both ends, your sewage is dumped on to local beaches and your tap water gets cut off simply because the water company can't keep your supply running. Bloody hell.

Lady in glasses, "I'd just like to say that if there should be any cold rage that is happening, it should be directed towards the politicians"

Fiona Bruce, "What, all of them?"

Lady in glasses, "No, the ones trying to sow the seeds of division between us"

"Because we're basically being manipulated by billionaires at this point"

"And it shouldn't be like that"

@onetechmedia247 @KemiBadenoch Word salad.

[Andrew 🇪🇺🕯#FBPA @EU_AndrewPB]

@onetechmedia247 @KemiBadenoch Anger and rage, two very different emotions. So, no, pointing towards Aquinas doesn’t really work in this context.

Remember the old days when we were part of Europe . . . before the Brexit liars won out . . . but then as we queue the economy crumbles as a result too . Lesson - don’t believe their lies ! https://t.co/1ztS4gilmh

[David Gauke @DavidGauke]

I didn’t vote for either of the winners of the last two General Elections but “traitors” for whom a “reckoning is coming”? Really? This very excitable, angry & hyperbolic man should be nowhere near a position of responsibility in a political party that aspires to power.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Yet another glaring example of how utterly failed the water industry is. All it took was one hot weekend and not one but two water companies have been brought to their knees, incapable of doing the most basic job possible, supplying their customers with water.

And we tolerate this nonsense.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Now what was I just saying about water companies misleading if not blatantly lying to their customers?

Ofwat?

[SOS Whitstable @SOSWhitstable]

This chart is a masterclass in how to make ordinary variation look like a crisis.

The biggest problem? The y-axis starts at 500 instead of 0. That massively exaggerates the height differences between the bars, making a relatively modest increase in water demand look dramatic and alarming.

571 ML/d and 670 ML/d are only about a 17% difference — but visually the red bars appear almost twice as large as the green one.

Then there’s the colour coding:
🟢 safe
🟡 warning
🟠 danger
🔴 crisis

Those thresholds are arbitrary, but the design makes the audience feel like demand suddenly becomes catastrophic at 650.

This is why data visualisation ethics matter. Charts shouldn’t be designed to manipulate emotion — they should help people understand reality accurately.

A simple zero-based axis and neutral colours would tell the story honestly.

@sewateruk @CondiReview Useless bunch of racketeers. Be ashamed.

[Andrew 🇪🇺🕯#FBPA @EU_AndrewPB]

@sewateruk Yes, by when do you expect there to be a water supply back in Whitstable?

[Andrew 🇪🇺🕯#FBPA @EU_AndrewPB]

@sewateruk @carolhibbert51 Conor, your link offers zero information re. when the return of a water supply can be expected. You know yourself it is of no assistance whatsoever. You’re working for @sewateruk who are a bunch of shameless racketeers. Re-nationalise now.

[Miles Cookman @MilesCookman]

@Ofwat No water in Whitstable and Herne Bay on the hottest day of the year. @sewateruk are fine to pump raw sewage into our coastline but can’t even provide water. Absolutely disgraceful.

[Andrew 🇪🇺🕯#FBPA @EU_AndrewPB]

@sewateruk Renationalise the water industry NOW. You are the worst bunch of shameless racketeers, and you really don’t care. Be ashamed.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Here’s just one detail from @thenerve_news #HarborneReceipts timeline.

On the *exact same day* Christopher Harborne gives Reform £3m, Nigel Farage says Reform will lift cap on stablecoin ownership.

Where does Christopher Harborne’s money come from, you ask?

Stablecoins!

[Labour Heartlands @Labourheartland]

THE WATER RIP-OFF IS NOT ADDING UP.

Barry Gardiner MP has exposed the great trick at the heart of Labour’s position on water.

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds says bringing water back into public ownership would cost an “enormous amount of money”. But when challenged, her department’s own response admitted it has not assessed the cost of continuing with privatisation against the cost of public ownership.

Read that again.

The Government insists public ownership is too expensive, while refusing to do the maths needed to prove it.

Water is a natural monopoly. People cannot shop around for a better pipe to their home. Yet billpayers are trapped in a system where their money must cover not only clean water, functioning infrastructure and sewage treatment, but the financial interests of private owners, creditors and shareholders.

Public ownership is not some wild luxury. It is common sense. Remove the need to extract profit from an essential service and put billpayers’ money back into pipes, reservoirs, sewage works and lower bills.

The question is no longer whether the privatised water model has failed. We can see and smell that failure in our rivers and on our beaches.

The question is why a Labour Government is defending it without even calculating the public alternative.

Come clean, Secretary of State. Publish the full comparison. Let the public see who this broken system is really serving.

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:

- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%

- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)

- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds

- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)

- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility

- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium

- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains

- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules

- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years

- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years

Ooops, sorry!

That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.

Mick Lynch on Nigel Farage:

"He's going to unleash a torrent of racism & division.. putting us into the dark ages"

ML calls out the Telegraph:

"The Telegraph seems to be preparing itself to become a fully signed up affiliate of Reform & all the racism & disunity it will cause"

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Christopher Harbourne & his crypto millions are fuelling Britain’s far right turn. First via Johnson & now Farage. It’s the great undercovered story of our time.

I’m really proud that @thenerve_news is doing this work. If you can afford to support it, we so appreciate it. 🙏
