What sort of government has off-the-record meetings with bosses of water companies that they know are breaking the law on an industrial scale.
First, the regulators and now the government, embroiled in the dirty business.
What did you talk about with the Thames Water Chairman who diverted over £1billion of customers' money out of investment to reduce pollution to the benefit of him and the owners instead, Environment Secretary @EmmaforWycombe ?

Henry Nowak’s family have lost their son and brother in the most appalling circumstances.
Nigel Farage is exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division.
It’s completely unforgivable.
“His response has been to appeal for rage. That’s his response to a father who has lost his son and asked for that not to happen. Exploiting this tragedy to create grievance and division would be wrong in any circumstances but to do it when the family are expressly saying please don’t is unforgivable. It shows exactly who he is”
Keir Starmer responds to Nigel Farage at #PMQs
Farage should be arrested for incitement and also sent the bill for the clear up of the mess from these racist riots in Southampton.

Seriously, 10 yrs after having voted to throw away its own free movement, the aggrieved articles keep coming thick and fast in the UK press↙️↘️
Working in other people's countries as if you were in your own, crossing borders freely is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 the natural state of affairs, anywhere in the world. The EU, remarkably, pools trust among its member countries and enables both of these, hassle-free
The UK media invariably presents it as "new Brexit barriers" as if the awful EU was cruelly imposing something on the poor UK. The UK benefitted from free movement, but voted to throw it away, for all of us, reverting to the normal state of affairs between countries
Stop all the victimized talk about "Brexit barriers" and "new rules" ! It's simply what happens when you leave a club which has created unique "free movement" for its members !
Most of these poor twats are going to be arrested.
Farage will be at home drinking expensive wine, counting his money and chuckling to himself.
This is the two-tier society we actually live in.
Well done @BBCNews@BBCPolitics for playing your part in the latest #FarageRiots
Platforming Reform all day across BBC output, Zia Yusuf, Matt Goodwin and clips of Farage.
@Ofcom@lisanandy you’re supposed to regulate the media. You’re failing us.

Well done to Max Wilkinson from the Lib Dems (and others) in Parliament today calling out Farage for ignoring the wishes of the family of Henry and using their tragedy to stoke hate and division. Hear also the shouts of 'rubbish' from the Reform benches; shame on them. #ReformUK
What on earth…. The police man has resigned. Another had to move. Murderer locked up for 21years. The internal investigation is underway. 3 minutes and we have this?
Two cheeks one arse.
A horrific pair of race baiting bigots.
Nasty Nige has crossed a major line today with his incitement and he should never be forgiven.
Remember today, and remember who he is when he shows us.
@cymbal_martin@BBCPolitics No better on @BBCr4today this morning. Literally the mouthpiece of Farage. No doubt tomorrow they will say exactly the same thing again.
@cymbal_martin@BBCPolitics It was appalling today. Platforming a racist and letting him loose on a woman MP who dared to challenge him was a sobering experience, to put it mildly.
How sad to see just how low @BBCPolitics#PoliticsLive has sunk. Bad enough it platforming one of the worst, would be politicians, in the country. It kicks off the programme doing exactly what Mark Novak had requested doesn't happen. First, it carefully 'clips' the words of Henry's father. Follows up immediately with a screenshot from Reform (only Reform). Then Young leads an oh so predictable race to the bottom of the toilet asking the question of Goodwin, is there 'two tier policing'
.........Ring a bell?
Utterly embarassing from Rob Kenyon. What he clearly doesn't know is Labour MP Josh Simons confirmed just over a week ago that this library would be reopened and work is starting soon, following a 6 month campaign by Labour Councillor Christopher Ready. What total numpties Rob and Zia are.
