"A profoundly disabling notion"

God this woman is an intellectual giant.

I would say the same of masculinity in reverse.

BREAKING NEWS: Whistleblower says that @unitedutilities burst pipe is in fact the collapse of an outfall and even the slightest bit of rain could now cause a catastrophic sewage dump.

Naughty, naughty.

"Blackpool beach visitors advised not to swim after 14-mile sewage spill."

1 month ago @unitedutilities paid £300m to shareholders. Perhaps more of that money should have been spent on their failing, underinvested, creaky old network of pipes.

"But what no NHS trust should do is to tell a female patient that she will be seen by a female nurse or doctor, and then instead send a male staff member who identifies as a woman. The people who signed this off are willing to ignore the basic principle of consent, and respect for boundaries, in the name of gender ideology allyship"

"We're sorry". So sorry in fact that just 2 of the water companies have already announced they are going to pay shareholders £550m over coming weeks.

PS. I see that Liv Garfield, salary last year £3.9m is not on the list of CEOs giving up their bonuses.

It’s the 3rd time Gov have announced they are going to ban wet wipes in 5 years!

And as for the £1.6bn investment? Does that now replace the £3.1bn announced last year or the £2.7bn announced before that or the £12bn announced before that?

I could go on…

Dear God!

"Ending sewage dumping will mean higher water bills".

Here's the curious thing @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat claim WCs have already had all of the funding they needed to meet their legal obligations with regard to sewage.

What happened the money?

Might this be why Thérèse Coffey's @DefraGovUK rejected a bathing application in her own constituency?

E. coli sampling in Martlesham Creek that feeds into the River Deben at Woodbridge.

Sample taken 2 weeks ago. There should be no more than 9 blue dots. How many can you count?

The Secretary of State Thérèse Coffey has the power to fix all of this with nothing more than the stroke of pen.

Government also has the power, and has done since 1991, to order WCos shareholders to pay the fines and not pass them on to customers.

Why doesn't gov act?

Born #OnThisDay in 1867 was Marie Skłodowska–Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win twice and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two disciplines: Physics for her work on radioactivity, and Chemistry for her discovery of radium and polonium.

Shocking and mind numbing news about @BrittenSinfonia who have lost their whole @ace_national grant in one cut. Just over 50% of budget. I know we will rise to the challenge but this is a real shock.
