Just before he was sacked the SoS blames the @EnvAgency for sewage dumping.
The EA didn't know what was going on, they should have, it's their fault, that's why the EA is now being investigated by the @OfficeforEP
It wasn't me governor it was them. Despicable.
"Let water bosses drink sewage."
Curiously it's almost 3 weeks since I made my offer to the CEO of @SouthernWater, drink a glass of what comes out of a sewage overflow and I’ll donate £1,000 to a charity of his choosing.
Still not heard anything back 🤔

Never to be out done in any competition with another water company @SouthernWater up the ante and dump sewage along most of the south and south east coast of England.
42 separate locations according to my calculations.
Well done everyone. Stand up and take a bow. 👏👏👏
It rained and this is how @SouthWestWater responds, by dumping sewage into the environment.
In June this year the company paid shareholders a 'special dividend' of £1.5 billion.
10 days ago what they are doing was illegal. Today it's not. Wouldn't that be right @theriverstrust
I want to do a thread about MONEY, because I think what is happening at the moment is super interesting.
I just read this article on rising rents:

What is fascinating to me about the article is that it explains rising rents purely referring to ...1/X
Those close to the government appear to be realising that UK households have no chance of surviving the coming winter with fuel bills forecast to rise to £4,000 or more a year. But the plan they're looking at is dire. A thread....
A No10 "Spokesperson said since the industry was privatised in 1989, the equivalent of £5bn had been invested to upgrade water infrastructure."
Let me remind you during the same period WCs have paid out over £72bn to shareholders.
Just hold that thought

Well, well. Here's a copy of @thameswater's licence to operate as a water company issued by @Ofwat.
It's signed by Cathryn Ross as Chief Executive of Ofwat.
Would that be the Cathryn Ross that is now Director of Strategy and External Affairs at Thames Water?
Of course it would
All of them, all of them, @DefraGovUK, @Ofwat, @EnvAgency and @SouthernWater should hang their heads in shame and by God do they have a lot to answer for.
Every beach in East Sussex between Brighton and Hastings has now been issued with a sewage alert.

Everyday, thousands of #maritime workers across the country keep our critical goods moving - and as #Christmas approaches, we should pay an extra thanks to those working hard behind the scenes - love this video from @Mersey_Maritime ⚓️
