Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Well that didn't take long. Less than 10 minutes into the hearing and the water industry is already trying to blame @Ofwat for the devastating lack of investment.

Let me remind them, for 35 years WCs have annually "Certified" to Ofwat that they know the law says and that they been given all of the funding needed to build, operate and maintain an properly functioning sewage system... Where's our money gone?! @CommonsEFRA

if someone on £139,000 a year (before you take into account the money her banker husband earns) cannot budget for a holiday to italy, how are we supposed to trust her with the economy?

Happy Book Birthday @robparkerauthor
Looking for a new crime series to kick off the new year? THE TROUBLED DEEP has a different angle than most—freelance diver Cam Killick literally getting in over his head uncovering a long-submerged mystery. Riveting character-led thriller. Ace

@TheBookshopMan How wonderful! 😊

This is the CV of Oliver Newton, Head of Business Engagement for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is the maddest thing I have ever seen. If his CV came my way I would have many, many questions.

When did the British public give our permission or mandate to use OUR health data to make a profit for private companies?

Give the NHS the technology and resources to use this data itself. The NHS was the best system in the world before privatisation

She’s also sent a letter to Tesco demanding they stop selling lettuces.

Good morning @wesstreeting , What is stopping you from employing unemployed GPs? Why are you not removing the unacceptable restrictions on recruitment of theses unemployed doctors? It just does not make sense.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I gave this TED talk warning Silicon Valley of the profound threat of it posed to democracy nearly 6 years ago. It provoked a lawsuit that caused me years of pain. The UK government did nothing to contain the threat. And here we are.

[tess gerritsen @tessgerritsen]

So here’s what happened. I was invited to take part in a FB live event by a well known interviewer. After some back and forth, I said yes. A week before, his tech support zoomed with me to set up FB live thru my page as well. I gave him temporary admin access. A day later …

Who initiated prosecutions of the #Rochdale child abusers?

Overturning a CPS decision?

A Muslim Prosecutor, Nazir Afzal.

Stick your racist narratives.
They’ve never helped one child and they never will- in fact, lies and misinfo HARM victims.

[Prof Colin Talbot @colinrtalbot]

As Kemi Badenoch and others seem to be suffering from amnesia here is the national investigation they are calling for.

It reported in Feb 2022. When she was in Govt.

[Colin📚 @TheBookshopMan]

I've just read #TheSafekeep by Yael Van Der Wouden.

A tale of love, desire, family, histories, and so much more. Elegant prose with a story to hit you in the heart. It is a book where the silences say as much as the dialogue. Fierce and utterly brilliant.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

I can’t be the only person absolutely enraged by Musk’s incitement of further unrest in Britain by spreading disinformation. Meanwhile, the so called “patriotic” far right bend over and welcome foreign interference.

I see it as an attack on our country, because it blatantly is.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Nigel Farage has been wrong about everything for over two decades. Every stupid notion he has backed and promoted in that time has dragged this nation to the very sewer and he should be a national disgrace - not afforded interviews on the BBC #farageriots

[Thomas Standfield @TStandfield1789]

Well, well, well.
None of the 20 recommendations to tackle abuse detailed in the Child Sexual Abuse Inquiry were implemented by the Tory government.
@KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @RishiSunak @SuellaBraverman @CPhilpOfficial
There's nothing quite like Tory hypocrisy.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Farage should have been asked about this - he should be forced to own it

I’m sorry but all these Tories suddenly interested in the grooming gangs can fuck off. You had 14 YEARS to do something and you did NOTHING. How dare you weaponise people’s trauma for your own political gain… you’re VILE.
