More than £30b of the £40b raised in taxes is going to the NHS and schools.

Not tax relief for the wealthy

Not tax breaks for big business

For our health and the education of our kids

A refreshing change in direction!

🚨 Breaking News 🚨

Save Windermere has once again been involved in exposing United Utilities exploitation of Windermere. Today the BBC reported that in the last 3 years, United Utilities has ILLEGALLY dumped 143,000,000 litres of untreated sewage directly into Windermere from just one of their sites — that’s thethe equivalent of 23 million toilet flushes, 1,600 double-decker buses, or enough to fill Big Ben 30 times! 💩

According to the BBC, United Utilities claims they reported these incidents at Glebe Road Pumping Station as soon as they were aware, which suggests they simply didn’t know about the instances of illegality from 2021 to September 2023, despite it being their statutory obligation to show permit compliance. The BBC estimates an additional 24 incidents that weren’t reported at the time could have cost the company £2.5 million through lower rewards or greater penalties.

You might be thinking, where’s the Environment Agency? Isn’t this their job? Well, once again, they’ve turned a blind eye. They’ve failed to ask for the data, failed to hold United Utilities accountable and failed to protect Windermere from this predatory behaviour.

We need your help to stop this 🫵

Let’s try and get this trending. Keir Starmer has often spoken about his love for the Lake District. Now it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is and end sewage pollution in Windermere once and for all. Windermere is a symbol of our cultural heritage, a key driver of the local and national economy, and a sanctuary for rare and protected wildlife. This is a national and international disgrace, one of the country’s greatest natural treasures is being exploited by the multi-billion pound private water company. It’s time for Westminster to act.

@Keir_Starmer , it’s time to stop the sewage to Save Windermere.

Listen, if Taylor Swift suddenly gets awarded a contract to provide healthcare services to the NHS, is given part of the HS2 line to run or gets given a life peerage like Lord Siberia or whatever he’s called, then let’s chat about Starmer taking his kids to her concert shall we.

@nevisondave @McGracing pt 2..as owners we lost the joy of winning & the finances too, winners prize & bets, as our jockey rode within the rules. It’s now a simple rule that should mean 2nd gets race & punters paid out in same way & timing as normal enquiry where interference affected result #stillhurts

If you’d rather leave the country than pay your fair share in taxes, I say go ahead.

@YvetteCooperMP Delighted to see you appointed Home Secretary Yvette. Your gravitas at the despatch box as Shadow HS when dealing with the revolving door of Tory Home Secs was truly impressive.
You also bring intelligence & empathy to the role & at last the grown ups run the show! 👏👏❤️❤️

[Nick Bannerman @Nick19666]

Wonderful to see, change is coming!!👏👏

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

Nicholaw Watt, "This by Rishi Sunak was planned. It was planned that he wouldn't be there. It was planned that David Cameron would take his place. You can just randomly walk up and stand next to the President of the United States Joe Biden. This was absolutely planned"

Really good point 👏

[Nick Bannerman @Nick19666]

@campbellclaret Surely Tory elder statesman ‘Lord’ Cameron (who we’ve all been force fed the line that he was brought back as an UNELECTED Foreign Secretary because of his experience on the world stage) when told to stand in for Sunak would’ve said ‘don’t be a feckin idiot Rishers!’???
