In the four years since #Brexit, the #EU has added 31 new chemicals to its 'Substances of Very High Concern' list versus our UK list of 0 new chemicals/substances!

By not keeping this list updated with new chemicals, our population is exposed to harm.

The government copied the EU's REACH chemicals regulation wholesale when we left but by not updating, our people and environment are at greater exposure to harmful chemicals than in the EU.

Dr. Doug Parr, chief scientist at @GreenpeaceUK “The government's failure to keep up with Europe (on these regulations) means that people in Manchester are less protected from harmful chemicals than those in Marseille or Munich. No one voted for that.”
More #BrexitBenefits !!

@VoteTrueAndFair believe this is yet another reason to start on the road to #RejoinEU

Well this certainly caught @Jacob_Rees_Mogg off guard. Someone with first hand knowledge of the disaster Brexit has inflicted on UK farmers. @MrDavidCatt1 brilliantly schools Rees-Mogg who is left floundering in the sea of his own fantasy

Week 13 of the Strike Against Sewage

Lots of people coming out in the rain today. We’ve had a lot of rain in January, which means we will likely have seen a lot of untreated sewage dumped into Windermere.

Thames water has a real time map that tells you when their CSOs are active, and United Utilities don’t. Why is that ? Why is data and information not publically available ? Why is information withheld ? @ICOnews

One thing is certain:Water companies are profiting from pollution, while the Environment Agency seems to be turning a blind eye to it all.

Our latest blog can be found here, which recently featured in an article covered by the BBC ⬇️

Would that be the same @YorkshireWater who 'loaned' almost £940,000,000 to their owner in Hong Kong and somehow had forgotten to tell regulator about it? Of course it would.

Now you know why they can't afford to fix the sewage system. "The money was only resting in my account."

If you think UK news shows should be asking why the UK Government actively turned a blind eye to Russian interference in UK elections RT this widely

Any comment on the fact that the fall is partly because you are faking the stats on Domestic Abuse?

"With foul rivers and polluted soil, the ‘conserve’ in Conservative clearly does not extend to our natural world."

@stellacreasy brilliantly spells it out. This govt has all but killed our environment.

@SuzanneatSavvy @grandmaambury I was working for a Citizens Advice Bureau during 2000s Labour Government. Our office mantra was ‘we can always do some good’.
Then the Tories came in May 2010.
Options closed, poverty rose, Surestarts closed, DWP difficult to contact. Just awful.

[Archie the terrier @SuzanneatSavvy]

Fast forward 14 years…

But
the rich getting richer
taxes at record high &£billions lost to corruption #ToriesDestroyingOurCountry

Tell you what actually constitutes “the will of the people” Sunak, the millions who want a General Election now so they can vote you twats out.

[Chris Daw KC @crimlawuk]

All these politicians who deleted or “lost” their COVID messages should be investigated for perverting the course of justice.

Search warrants, seizure of phones, full digital forensics examinations, the lot.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Why does the entire country need to know about the kings arsehole or Catherine getting weeks of private luxury hospital care?

The NHS waiting list is nearly 8 million.

There are people in Britain on chemo who are forced to use food banks.

Do you not see how mad this is?

Back in 1999, Sir Geoff Mulgan was an important but isolated voice in Tony Blair’s senior team who warned that Fujitsu’s Horizon system - which has led to such an appalling miscarriage of justice for so many sub-postmasters - was a monumental crock. Shortly before the final decision on roll-out of Horizon, in May 1999, he wrote a “lessons learned” note for the then PM Blair. His language is blunt and unequivocal (there are shades of Dominic Cummings). It is astonishing that what he said went unheeded. Here is what Mulgan said more than 24 years ago should be learned:

“Horizon has been a fairly disastrous project. It: - was misconceived from the start - has faced continual delays and problems - has over the last year taken up huge amounts of ministerial and official time - has delivered in the end a far from optimal solution

“Information: nearly all the facts presented to ministers turned out to be unreliable. Moreover data was presented in ways that were difficult for ministers to understand.

“The Post Office: throughout this process the relative lack of competence of the Post Office and their failure to develop a proper business strategy has been a key failing.

“Courage. Perhaps the most important lesson is a more general one: namely that when a project is clearly failing government needs to be bolder about cutting its losses. There was a clear case for termination 12 months ago...”

Since then around £2.5bn has been paid to Fujitsu for a system that provided the unreliable evidence behind almost a thousand criminal convictions that ruined lives and should never have been made. The government cannot claim it was not warned.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Emergency legislation to disapply human rights, dispensing with courts & threats to join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR - this obscene & insane Government must be stopped

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £219bn.

Or immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Or Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You are buying their lies.
