The Coca-Cola factory in Morpeth, Northumberland, sits above a natural underground reservoir of fresh water. It produces enough bottled water every year to fill 30 Olympic-size swimming pools.
But The Observer can reveal Coca-Cola is paying the Environment Agency (EA) just £6,070 in annual charges for a licence to extract up to 674m litres of water for its production line at Morpeth. It extracted about 125m litres last year. @JonUngoedThomas investigates

The belief that Manchester is in the North is a reflection of the ignorance of Southerners and an insult to everyone else's intelligence, but that's UK politics for you folks!!!!
We’ve now had 27 days of sunshine in England. Millions face hosepipe bans 🌞
Yet so far this year, we’ve had 150% of our average long-term rainfall. Some areas have had over 50 days of consecutive rain 🌧️
Something is very wrong with our water industry.
And that, dear folks, is what every government, from the 80's onwards, has encouraged; that's your 'free market capitalism' right there! Emphasis is on the 'free' by the way!!!!!!👇👇👇👇
"Watchdog accused of ‘giving away’ billions of litres of spring water to foreign bottling giants."
Yep the EA are up to their old tricks again. The EA are charging Coca-Cola £6,070 a year to abstract water from the north of England which Coca-Cola then sells for £30 million.
Did I mention that according to the EA by 2050 in England we will need to find another 5 billion litres of water per day just to keep our taps running and to try and save our chalk streams.
What a hoax of a regulator.

Companies that had no money, that had just been incorporated, that no history at all in PPE, were paid up front so that they in turn could buy dodgy, shit, cheap PPE, that they then marked up to make massive profits. It is crooked, corrupt and criminal.
The Covid Inquiry concludes the Tories were a bit careless and lost £10bn down the back of the sofa
No it was blatant corruption, money given in dodgy contracts to Tory Donors
The money isn't wasted, it wasn't lost. It was stolen.
Michael Gove is proof positive that British politics is institutionally corrupt. He is a brazen liar. He awarded those PPE contracts to Michelle Mone, Doug Barrowman and the rest of his cronies. I’m disappointed that the spotlight isn’t also on Dido Harding in this national scandal. So many died but Mone and Barrowman continue to sail the seas in luxury while Gove will be doing the rounds at London’s most exclusive summer parties. 🥂

Hey not to be too out of touch with the times or whatever but the fucking President paid a $5.6 million settlement this week because he fucking raped someone and I think it should be a way bigger deal.
One of the most jarring things about adulthood is the realization of how many truly incompetent people are in the most important jobs. When I was a kid, I just assumed everyone “important” was smart or they wouldn’t be important. Boy, was that fucking wrong.
Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Wow you can actually see the moment where Reform’s Laila Cunningham’s soul exits her body
This is the car crash of all car crashes, and again it’s all because they’re out under strict instructions to defend Farage’s abject shittery and greed
Embarrassing
6000 miles of Scotland's North Sea were secretly claimed by Westminster in 1999. Unionists often deny this, so I have included the legislation. Every Scot should RT this to reveal the truth about Westminster's underhand tactics to stop independence. https://t.co/2XKJ3WYZVP
