@Figo_Restaurant Do you have GF options?

"Disabled woman 'used cat litter as toilet' because of sewage."

Think about it. 87 year old lady using a cat litter tray simply because @AnglianWater can't be bothered to fix the sewer.

AW has paid £4.769bn in dividends since 2012

OFWAT?!!! 🤬🤬🤬 FFS!

"'Filthy rich' water and sewage bosses branded a 'farce' after handing almost £80bn to investors."

That's almost £80,000,000,000 of your cash. Gone. And a 87 year old disabled lady is having to use cat litter.

@Ofwat you're a fu*king disgrace. 🤬🤬🤬

Clive Myrie, "What has recently been discovered in a harbour near Portsmouth?"

Ian Hislop, "It's not all the money stolen by all the water companies over the years, is it?"

Paul Merton, "You say stolen?"

Ian Hislop, "They've literally borrowed money in order to give it to their shareholders.. I think this is theft.. The river is not the only thing full of 💩"

@Se_Railway what’s the ‘service disruption’ on you high speed services, what is its cause please

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

Post Office (PO) executives paid bonuses to just take part in the Horizon Inquiry.

Govt (Treasury/Business Dept) signed off those bonuses.

Why this reward?

Business Secretary appointed PO directors who already collected bonuses by abusing postmasters.

Should I be concerned that on the occasions I have tried to contact certain companies , for example just recently @OctopusEnergy to ask about gas supply loss, that my X account gets suspended?

@SouthernRailUK What time will the bus arrive at Ashford , presumably before 8.24?

[Katherine Buchanan @KtgBuchanan]

@SouthernRailUK what is the situation with the 20.24 train to Rye (Eastbourne) from Ashford International, conflicting info on line. Is there a train to Hastings at this time or a replacement bus?

[Katherine Buchanan @KtgBuchanan]

@SouthernRailUK Thanks, will it be outside the domestic side or international?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Seriously? New Environment Sec has taken money from major backer of a climate-denying think-tank. Why did Barclay accept donation? What discussions has he had with Hintze before & since receiving it? Does he agree with GWPF climate-denial? We need answers

[Katherine Buchanan @KtgBuchanan]

@SouthernRailUK Delays can’t be helped but info on how long a delay is really helpful especially when we have only one train an hour and only other option is to drive

[Katherine Buchanan @KtgBuchanan]

@SouthernRailUK any idea on length of delay and reason for late running if 8.48 Rye to Ashford? Are we blocked by late running train into Hastings?

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

We wouldn’t let tobacco firms fund MPs working in health policy - so why is Govt allowing fossil fuel giants to fund MPs who need to act decisively on tackling #climateemergency? I've signed the No Fossil Funding Pledge - we need a #FossilFreeParliament👇

FINALLY ENERGY STANDING CHARGES TO BE REVIEWED. Thank you @ofgem for listening at last, I hope you will listen in the review too. 90% want standing charges lowered or scrapped, though we need to protect vulnerable high users with illness or disability.

It has been a long fought campaign to get this morally hazardous energy poll tax looked at, a flat £300 a year just to have energy meters is too much. I will put more info out in future on how you can feed into the consultation. But to start...

Liz Truss, a failed PM, wants to cut minimum wage, paid holidays & redundancy cash.

Tories won't stop until workers are totally enslaved, sick, disabled and elderly abandoned.

All to increase wealth of the richest.

Tories have no empathy for normal folk

Appointing reckless #Brexit referendum instigator Cameron as Foreign Sec is a democratic embarrassment. If Sunak can’t even find one of his 350 MPs to take on one of the most important jobs in Govt, why on earth should this party be governing at all? We need a #GeneralElectionNow

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ("taking back control from unelected officials anyone?") in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.

Remembering today not just the family members who fought and died in two world wars, but also my handsome, charming great-uncle Harold whose life was ruined by his injuries in WW1 and who died, homeless and alone, on a bench at Waterloo station in 1960; not a lifestyle choice.
