"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."

Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM

Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I am at a loss to understand why the government has done nothing to reform @ofcom which is not fit for purpose and has allowed Farage UK to have its own TV news channel; nothing to push back on the relentless bias and untruthfulness of most of our press; and nothing to respond to the capture of the BBC political coverage by the Gibb brigade.

[Shaun @LfcShaunjudge]

He can't keep doing this to players without punishment...

He's reckless...

[Grizz Khan @GrizzKhan]

He done the exact same challenge that put VVD out for a whole year. He’s a prick and a dangerous one at that. Referees need to wisen up to these type of challenges. The worst part is he always gets up and berates the player too.

What a fabulous day we had yesterday at Whitstable, just brilliant. Huge turnout, excellent speeches, everyone really up for it. Huge, my respect. 👏👏👏👏

Southern Water's response? Security guards, dressed in high viz, with body cameras, lining the fence, to spy on their own customers just incase they wanted to storm the Bastille.

How utterly pathetic.

HERE WE GO.

Water testing at Henley-on-Thames revealed E coli levels 10 times above the threshold for safe bathing water.

Govt have refused an application from local community groups to become a designated bathing spot because of the low number of swimmers. I wonder why that is? 🤬

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised.

RT if you know it has to be.

Sorcha Eastwood with a Q for the PM "What was it about the twice disgraced paedophile adjacent self styled prince of darkness that you found so attractive to put into this job?"

Starmer is the frontman for a faction Mandelson was a key part of, he wanted the job, so he got it

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“It's sending the civil service into a defensive crouch.”

William Hague tells #TimesRadio the sacking of Olly Robbins is “disgraceful”.

@WilliamJHague | @KateEMcCann

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

If nothing else, the decision to sack Robbins, when he didn't need to, must rank as one of the most absurd acts of political self-harm any prime minister has yet committed. All of this eminently foreseeable.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“Is it fair?”

“It's the prime minister's judgment. If you've lost the confidence, then it's difficult to continue.”

@KateEMcCann asks @PatMcFaddenMP three times if it was fair to sack Olly Robbins.

[ITV Racing @itvracing]

Guess who's back on the flat tonight? 😏

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

And here's the thing Ofwat already has the power to do exactly that, simply issue an enforcement order, see section 18 of the Water Industries Act 1991.

In fact the law requires that Ofwat SHALL issue an enforcement order. Any failure to comply means Ofwat can then fine South East Water anything up to 10% of their turnover or revoke their operating licence. @ThreshedThought

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Yet more corruption exposed.

In 2024 98%, yes 98% of all serious water company pollution incidents got downgrade by the Environment Agency to minor.

Time to end the charade, to call an end to the farce. Time for public ownership.

[Hugh Grant @HackedOffHugh]

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

[Stig Abell @StigAbell]

I don’t want to be hasty but I’m beginning to worry that FIFA might not have thought that Peace Prize through properly.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Did you see the shocking finale to Dirty Business?

Govt must act, NOW!

And can I just say, a huge round of applause to all of the decent people working within the water industry and regulators, trying to do their job, to make things better, to put things right and all the while being hampered by politics, corporate greed and incompetence. 👏👏👏
