Dear @thameswater,
You are a disgrace.
The network was full of leaks, even before the hot weather period.
The leaks waste far more water than the #hosepipeban saves.
For years, money has been pouring into the pockets of execs whilst the network falls to pieces.
Suddenly we have a few hot weeks and you blame everything on the weather.
Yours,
A truly livid consumer.
Why are we seeing more leaks right now? Here's what's happening 👇
The recent hot, dry weather is putting extra pressure on our water network. When the ground dries out, it can shift putting more strain on the pipes. At the same time, higher demand for water increases the pressure in the network, making bursts and leaks more likely.
That's why our teams are currently fixing around 20% more leaks than normal - over 1,000 weekly, or one every 10 minutes.
We're also making major long-term improvements, replacing 100km of water mains since April last year as part of our biggest upgrade in 150 years.
With more than £500 million invested every year in finding and fixing leaks, we're working around the clock to reduce leakage and strengthen the network for the future. 💧
Restore Britain has endorsed the monstrous lie that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza - the opposite of the truth. The horseshoe theory of politics is being proved correct - a right-wing party has aligned itself with the far Left and extreme Islamists on this issue. It is vital that retired actors, pro-Israel conservatives or observers of UK politics in Europe or America, including @elonmusk understand the truth about this party.
Restore’s talk of Gaza ‘genocide’ is as ridiculous as the Left’s

@jeremycorbyn There is no genocide and never has been.
Real experts who have actually spent time in Gaza all agree.
This is a total nonsense made up by Islamists and Socialists.
Let me get this straight. The argument is that Israel has been trying to wipe out every Gazan, whilst at the same time flooding the place with aid, vaccinating all their children, and killing almost none of them who weren’t combatants, in terms of a significant percentage of the whole? In nearly 3 years? That’s the argument? That they’re both genocidal AND completely shit at it?
It is incredible. There is no aspect of the genocide allegation against Israel that has not collapsed.
The media, NGOs, UN hangers on, fraudulent academics, and influencers should be apologising for three years of lies and false assumptions.

@BBCBreaking No country is willing to tolerate these murderous fanatics, but Israel, which is literally surrounded by thousands of these madmen- is expected to “live peacefully side by side with them”.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.
I’ve been to Gaza 3 times during the war, I’m writing my PhD on it, and I have a book coming out early next year.
I did 16 years in the British Army, three tours of Afghanistan. The IDF operates to the same standards we do.
Streeting doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
No child is born in the wrong body.
The puberty blockers trial is state-sanctioned child abuse.
There are already too many young people who have been poorly advised and suffered irreversible harm due to gender ideology.
A Reform UK government will hold every professional who has enabled this scandal to account.
It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.
From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.
You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:
- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel
Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.
@sophielouisecc Here’s a crazy idea…
Too many people are bad parents, and don’t care if their kids spend all day on Tik tok. Are we going to write off a generation of kids just because we should’ve trusted parents to do their job?
