If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.

He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.

France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.

Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful.

Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years.

Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth.

Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Don’t talk to me about Nathan Gill & the failure of the British press to cover it. Or the UK state to investigate it.

Read this thread. I remember my state of mind when I wrote it to a brick wall of total fucking silence.

Also we used to have a blue tick thanks so much.

I am receiving a number of reports of children getting sick from swimming in the the River Wey. Addressing sewage dumping by Thames Water is something Liberal Democrats are working actively on. As you can see from this video, it's dark, dirty and opaque because of all the raw sewage being pumped into it. I’m doing all I can to highlight the issue and we have asked Parliament to consider putting Thames Water into special administration.

No one seems to want to do anything about it except us - it's time we had a water infrastructure that works, and a regulator that does its job so that we can all enjoy our rivers, not become sick because of it. I hope your son and his friends feel better soon. Please do let me know of any similar reports. I will certainly add them to my report to authorities. If anyone wants to speak about this, please message me and we can set up a call to discuss. #riverwey
