Five Homes Farage. That’ll stick.

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

This is incorrect

Welsh Water is not in public ownership, it's a 'not for profit' which loses 41% of bills to finance costs, same as Thames Water

Publicly owned Scottish Water on the other hand has finance costs of only 8% - and 50% more investment

NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent.

All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017.

Yeah I know Andy Burnham doesn’t wear a tie, likes buses to run on time and detests the London elite, but any chance we can find out what he thinks about Israel’s genocide in Gaza and how he’ll pursue accountability?

[Prof Colin Talbot @colinrtalbot]

Michael Crick on a mission? And it’s not to give a fair hearing to Andy Burnham …

Burnham has been one the most open and honest of politicians of his generation.

He gives one speech without allowing the Whitehall press pack their platform and he’s suddenly “unaccountable”? 😱

So only the rich have talent do they....

[Bella Wallersteiner 🇺🇦 @BellaWallerstei]

Britain’s top 1% already shoulder nearly a third of all income tax. Instead of thanking them politicians in this country only talk about punishment. Slap on a wealth tax and the only thing you’ll achieve is driving talent, investment and wealth out of Britain

[Bill McGuire @ProfBillMcGuire]

Still no campaign for home water harvesting

This is big in countries like Germany, and can make a significant difference to demand for mains water

Why the silence from Ofwat, the water companies and the government?

The proposed ‘up to’ £10,000 accommodation ‘repayment’ that people accorded refugee status will be expected to pay won’t raise any money net, won’t deter anyone and appears to simply to be there to appease the mean-spirited. Which it won’t.

Are you against social housing being built...?

@Kwajotweneboa How do you stop the Tories selling it off in two decades?

[Planning Magazine @PlanningMag]

Andy Burnham must “reset” the government’s approach to nature recovery after “significant regressions in environmental legal protections” under the current administration, a letter from over 80 conservation groups, academics and businesses has said

Yes perhaps because this is what Cass recommended

@useadmiral Hi Admiral. Your customer service is appalling. For 6 weeks we have been trying to sort out the failure of your app regarding the black box. Nothing is recorded, no one rings back. complete kafkaesque nightmare. Now you are trying to charge us more....

[RiverActionUK @RiverActionUK]

💧 Every drop counts. But so does accountability.

As England emerges from another record-breaking heatwave, a new national campaign is asking us all to use less water.

We welcome any effort to help people save water. Every litre saved helps reduce pressure on our rivers.

But let's be clear: the public cannot be expected to fix a crisis they didn't create.

❌ Every day, water companies lose more than 3 billion litres of clean drinking water through leaking pipes.

❌ Since privatisation, they've paid out billions to shareholders while failing to invest in the infrastructure our water system desperately needs.

❌ And despite growing water shortages, no new reservoirs have been built by water companies in England for 30 years.

We're being asked to take shorter showers while water companies waste billions of litres and continue to pollute our rivers.

It's time they got their own house in order.

We need a fully funded national freshwater emergency plan that fixes leaks, restores rivers, invests in resilient infrastructure, and holds polluters to account.

Saving water is everyone's responsibility. Fixing the system is theirs.
