New. Got Sky TV? A 6.2% price rise is coming but a loophole means you CAN'T cancel penalty-free if it hikes your price mid-contract. Read our investigation... https://t.co/Qh6S6U4MNG

Here's the letter that @thameswater is sending to its bill payers this week, demanding an estimated extra £19 A MONTH.
To do what it should have been doing, but hasn't.
We should not be paying this.

Over 90% of the UK's 11-year-olds and half of 9-year-olds own a smartphone.

In a unique social experiment, a group of school students have completely given up their smartphones for 21 days, to better understand how phones impact their lives.

This is how they reacted.

Reform UK leader @Nigel_Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR

Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely

One of our great traditions, the Boxing Day dip, has been cancelled in Deal because of a no swim warning due to high E. Coli levels.

The swim is a charity event which usually raises £7,000 for good causes.

Will you be donating this money instead @SouthernWater?

"Thames Water supply ‘on knife-edge’ with £23bn repairs needed"

This article should absolutely terrify anybody who hasn't yet quite come to terms with the seriousness of this situation.

@UKLabour, @Keir_Starmer and @SteveReedMP you have to act NOW.

No ifs and no buts. Bring @thameswater back into public ownership.

The supply of water to our capital and the 16 million customers relying on this failing entity is far too important for you to allow the situation to be dictated by greedy investors squabbling over its future.

Public ownership - now.

@The_RHS Less ‘fancy’ flowering plants, more single structured flowering plants, for pollinators.

And for those of you that didn't want to believe it here it is.

The UK is bottom of the league when it comes to European bathing water quality standards. 🤬

Who/what is responsible or for the £358m underspend at DEFRA?

It’s really important that we know where exactly the problem/s lie and that they are being solved because otherwise the system fails and the £ is taken away from DEFRA which is deeply unfair

[PenzanceHour @PenzanceHour]

Inflatables are fun but they really aren’t for the sea. This afternoon we’ve been involved in more than eight incidents along the East Coast, where inflatables have got their owners into trouble.
Please, please leave them at home or on the sand. We don’t want to spoil your fun

[St Agnes Niki @scillyniki]

For all the lovely people out there who’d like to see peace and calm 😘 Sharing the love with you ❤️

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

Said it before I’ll say it again. If you can afford a holiday that’s fine. But for those of us who can’t, taking your kids to the beach for a paddle, or swim in a river is now a luxury we’ve had taken away. It may not sound like much to you but for us it was everything. So knowing water companies would rather pay their shareholders than look after the infrastructure, why should WE be bailing them out? We should renationalise… who’s gonna look after it better, a company who chose to neglect the system and pay shareholders or us as country owning it again?

I have spoken to many families bereaved of fatal domestic abuse and alongside Level Up we have pushed to change reporting standards in newsrooms. We need your help to stop the damage being done to the families, traumatised by this reporting. This has to stop.

[David Challen @David_Challen]

As a child bereaved by fatal domestic abuse, headlines calling a man who killed three women a “nice guy” and “normal person” have felt personally traumatic.

The media called my father a “gentle man” and “nice chap”, which misrepresented the controlling reality that myself and my family experienced for years. It compounded our trauma.

Reporting like this causes so much damage – both to victims’ families, and to public understandings of coercive control. It has to stop. Now.

We need every single newsroom trained in how to report domestic abuse deaths, and to lobby the regulator for stronger rules. The press has the power to prevent further deaths and save women’s lives.

Please support this crowdfunder I’ve started to support @we_level_up’s crucial work to train journalists in their Dignity For Dead Women guidelines.

This takes all of us ➡️ https://t.co/iPJGFUs7Qn

Apparently they tap you up for cash on the promise you'll become a member of a political party, but the money actually goes to a limited company with shareholders.

Dear clever pottery people of twitter

Can you tell me anything about this plz?

[tern @1goodtern]

I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work.
Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

I hope Labour investigates the endless contracts given to Tory donors , not just during Covid

£8.4 BILLION since 2015 given to Tory donors who gave £53 million to the party

Funny that
