Drop everything and read this vital piece from @jayrayner1 on #farming and food!
“The warnings on post-Brexit food safety from the Port of Dover are stark enough. But they pale against the threat of the UK not being able to source all the food it needs to keep its population fed.”

It makes sense on every level to have more diversity in leadership across all sectors. Yet still there is a gap between what we know and what we see

Michelle Mone/Doug Barrowman rumoured today to be spending £50 million on a new yacht after taking £60+m plus from the potentially unlawful PPE Medpro deal
@DanNeidle has found 25 MORE companies where Barrowman has unlawfully concealed ownership.
But THE BIG STORY re Barrowman coming soon from Dan!!!
So there we have it. The time has come as we surely knew it would.
@thameswater's sewage overflow in Fairford, Gloucestershire has being dumping sewage into the River Coln for over 1,000 hours. That's nonstop since the 3rd Dec 2023.
And the @EnvAgency does what exactly?
@SBarrettBar Dear @SBarrettBar, Seema Misra’s barrister has now had to intervene to point out your falsehood.
The longer you publicise this false claim, the deeper your dishonesty, and the greater disrepute you bring to our profession.
Correct your lie and apologise.
Would it surprise you to learn that the CEO of @southernWater is also on the board of @NationalHways the very organisation responsible for not only picking up litter on our motorways but it is also one of the biggest polluters of our rivers.
Hmm? Thought not.

Kirstie Allsopp says detached houses should be banned because they are not 'environmentally practical' and lead to loss of community feeling, according to an interview in Mail. Posh people always seem to know what's best for the rest of us, don't they?
"Water firm drives 240 truckloads of sewage a day through town ‘to pump into sea’."

So the government has spent an extra £100m on the Rwanda gimmick and didn’t bother to tell Parliament or the public when the third Rwanda Home Secretary went off on his treaty signing day trip the other day. We are now on £240m - £80m per Home Secretary. And not a single 1/4
Once again a massive round of applause to @joe_crowley and everyone at @BBCPanorama for exposing the lies, deceit and corruption of the water industry and the utter inability and incompetence of the regulatory system to deal with it.
It's what @BBCPanorama was built for. 👏👏👏
The whole family devastated by the news that Glenys Kinnock has died. She has been a big part of our lives for forty years and a part of our children’s lives since they were born. There could be no more loving friend and counsel. Devastated today above all for Neil. It is 1/4
Utterly shocking, damning, explosive report by @BBCPanorama@joe_crowley exposing the lies, deceit and corruption within the water industry and its regulators.
Enough is enough, the boards of @ofwat and @EnvAgency need to go and go today! @BBCiPlayer

I’ve been warning for years that #Brexit would lead to food shortages.
Christmas dinners will suffer from lack of veg!
Now that war has broken out in #ukraine and #gaza we are suffering the most in Europe bc Brexit leaves us in a weak position.
British food production is in rapid decline and the Autumn storms will now be felt over the coming weeks.
To be sure of more robust food system we need to get back in the SM and CU.
"Surfing was my life – then Britain’s filthy water left me with an incurable illness."
Two days ago local WC @SouthWestWater increased their dividend payout to shareholders by a whopping 8.3%
So when did you last see a 8.3% pay rise? It pays to pollute.

"Water firms handing out big dividends as bills surge."
Water companies are arguing they need to put bills up to fix their infrastructure, it's a lie, they're just trying to screw you, the customer, again.
And @ofwat do what exactly?
