🚨THIS IS HUGE!🚨 Legal action over pollution in the Wye, Lugg & Usk has been expanded to include Welsh Water (WW), in the biggest claim of its kind in the UK.

Sewage spills by WW are now accountable for damaged river water quality, say @LeighDay_Law 👇👇

Road Run-Off working its way towards the Brent, luckily in this case via wetland areas which can absorb some of this motor oil. Mitigation, Resilience, Natural Design, Reduction of Pollutants all needed throughout our catchment

And those will be the worst Ammonia and Phosphate results we’ve ever seen. Straight from a misconnected tower block. Raw sewage, into the Brent. ⁦@LDNWaterkeeper⁩ ⁦@Thames21⁩ ⁦@thameswater⁩ ⁦@EalingCouncil⁩ ⁦@_EalingNews⁩

@thameswater @PhoenixOutdoorC On my way home I called in at the iconic @acecafelondon for a sandwich and a drink. Behind the cafe, in the Brent, was an area of white foam and greasy bubbles in the water. 50m away some men were hosing fish vyans into road gulleys

@thameswater Blocked sewers overflow into surface water drains, which flow into natural watercourses. So the Welsh Harp has been given a hefty dose of raw sewage. Fish, birds, canoeists, sailors use this reservoir. Ready about? Keep your mouth shut. @PhoenixOutdoorC

Part of the problem with winter fuel payments is the chronic underclaiming of Pension Credit, a key benefit that now triggers entitlement. It's thought 880,000 due it won't get it, and they're the poorest pensioners.

I doubt the awareness raising campaign can have much impact on that (I and others have been shouting about it until we're blue in the face, for years)

It needs proactive one on one contacting of likely candidates, eg those not getting full state pensions.

Yet even that is hard because there are so many scams targeting elderly how do you ensure people trust that it is legit?

I'd be interested in your ideas on how to reach the hard to reach pensioners who may be eligible.

@LeeAndersonMP_ After the constant talk or dehumanising language and aggressive rhetoric leading to the events of the last week, you have just compared Asylum seekers to the German Army of the second world war...

Henley Regatta water 4x higher than safe bathing level for E-Coli. As we filmed this yesterday ⁦@RiverActionUK⁩ did the testing. Regatta and rowing organisers instruct competitors how to stay safe and most will but…

[RiverActionUK @RiverActionUK]

E-Coli levels found to be 27 times higher than acceptable in Thames ahead of Henley regatta

@thameswater accuse River Action of being alarmists... 🤔🤔

... but the results speak for themselves 🔽💩🦠

As a cancer specialist, I find this level of journalism absolutely appalling. It’s hard to know where to begin, when the lack of understanding of how cancer might affect people is this poor. I’m more than happy to speak to @AllisonPearson to explain why this is so bad
