"The government has missed its own deadline for bringing enforcement action against water companies polluting rivers and seas."
And yet again there we have it. All of the promises, all of the empty, vacuous words, all of the failed commitments.
Worthless, meaningless, nonsense.

Who should own Thames Water?
🇭🇰🇨🇳NOT Chinese linked firm CKI
🇺🇸NOT US asset management creditors who are currently holding us all to ransom
It should be OWNED BY THE PUBLIC, accountable to its 16 million customers, its workers and the environment

The billionaires have been using immigration to scare you into voting for them for decades.
That’s why they are richer than ever and services are getting worse and worse.
We need to stop falling for it.
Dredd (2012) is a wildly underrated sci-fi gem. Karl Urban nailed the role, and the world-building deserved way more love. Still holding out hope for a sequel.
On Dean Street, Newcastle upon Tyne we see the magnificent railway viaduct of 1848 viewed from the Side in c1880. The viaduct was widened to the north in 1894 on a slightly larger span. Credit to the unknown photographer for this amazing streetscape.
How do we bring water into public ownership? @Feargal_Sharkey explains on Channel 4 News tonight 👇🤩🤩🤩
He is backing the new petition from @windrushwasp.bsky.social calling for a referendum so the public can decide
82% of us support PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
The United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum in 1994.
The deal was simple: Ukraine surrendered its massive nuclear arsenal, and in return, those powers promised to respect its sovereignty.
Everyone needs to remember that
The government promised to stop sewage in our rivers and seas.
Here’s their chance. Ofwat is on the verge of approving a deal with Thames Water that could see them dump sewage freely UNTIL 2030.
Take just 2 mins this long weekend to ask your MP to demand Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds block that deal. https://t.co/GpGAe4nVGH
"Thames Water may avoid new fines until 2030 under Ofwat deal."
This nonsense must be, should be, has to be and will be opposed.

😡😡😡 @Ofwat@EmmaforWycombe you have no right to approve this 👇
Thames Water creditors (aka US hedge funds) want to *avoid any new fines over next 4 years*
Did you watch Dirty Business? Do you want to stop sewage?
REMOVE THAMES WATER'S LICENCE NOW

It's outrageous to threaten doctors with this while telling them they must accept an effective pay cut.
It's easy for Wes with his £160,000 salary plus £250,000 expenses to tell others to take a pay cut.
Hypocrisy of Starmer's cabal👇
Can we PLEASE for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY just STOP IT with the password complexity criteria already? We all know the highest risk is that the service itself leaks the password in a security breach, and then what use is the complexity?
UK has similar gas storage capacity at present as Europe - about 28% in UK to 29% in Europe - BUT gas storage is vastly smaller in UK, only enough for a few days relative to 5-6 weeks of supply in Germany.
Once again, UK has failed its own people by privatising its essential utilities to rentier private equity which does not invest in critical infrastructure.
Nationalise water, gas and electricity now.
Two months ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.
The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.
Now we are getting 15% tariffs on everything.
The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.
Water privatisation has been a disaster.
It’s a rip-off, services aren’t good enough and our waterways are filthy.
We tried regulating bonuses. They found a loophole anyway.
Half-measures aren’t working.
It’s time to bring water into public ownership.
Unilaterally changing a contract that 17&18 year olds were pressured to enter into in order to have a chance at success in the job market to terms that make them significantly worse off is immoral.
Worse still, the chancellor seems to think that student loans thresholds are there to be changed to suit the treasuries income needs, they are not a tax.
If a high street lender did this, the ombudsman would rule against them.
