Nigel Farage is now talking about cutting the minimum wage for young people.
Once again, instead of going after the super-rich, he attacks ordinary workers.
So much for being a man of the people.
As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep
Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications
This should also be banned
Influence being bought in Govt
Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy
DEFRA, OFWAT AND THE EA TRY TO BURY THE BAD NEWS AND FAIL, JUST LIKE THE WATER INDUSTRY.
It's been a very busy, busy morning in the world of regulation and water this morning in fact you've almost believe that @Defra, @ofwat and the @EnvAgency have been coordinating their sad little press releases.
First up it was @ofwat and their attempt to bury the bad news.
❌ More WCs than ever have missed their leakage targets.
❌60% WCs have failed to meet drinking water quality targets.
❌ More WCs have failed to meet sewage treatment works compliance than last year.
❌The number of WCs having 'serious' pollution incidents stayed the same, nothing, nothing improved.
Today, England's water companies received their worst pollution ratings since records began.
Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.
❗More from our petition hand-in yesterday
💪✍️Over 20,000 of you signed our petition, demanding that Ofwat say NO to 15 more years of ILLEGAL pollution.
👀watch as we get ready to speak to Ofwat officials and make our voices heard loud and clear - we will not accept a broken water system which pollutes for profit.
The extinction of the Slender-Billed Curlew should be a wake-up call.
The world is upside down: billionaires jaunt to the moon while wildlife vanishes.
Endless wealth for greed, scant care for what enriches all our lives.
Nature belongs to all of us—we must defend it.
Thames Water's collapse is 24 hours away?
Back in July Ofwat announced that, at TW request, they had delayed the company's appeal against this year's price rises. TW want more money. a lot, lot more.
TW was given a deadline of 22nd Oct or else, that's tomorrow.
They're clearly not going to make it. Then what???
Resulted in so many fantastic teachers leaving taking early retirement. He had no understanding or grasp of education either . Just public school boy Entitlement . Utter scum
A probe into the academy trust that paid nearly £5,000 in 'consultancy services' to its CEO’s mum was kept under wraps while officials ruled on its merger

What a day.
5 water companies appeal Ofwat's pricing decision and have their appeal approved getting up a further 3% bill increase allowed.
What does that say about Ofwat's original decision, which they worked on for 3 years by the way? And how sick would you feel if you were one of the other companies who didn't appeal?

Why is everybody obsessed with leaving the ECHR?
It isn't about immigration it is about their billionaire owners
Leaving the ECHR allows them to rewrite all your Rights, Pensions, access to Healthcare, Paid Leave, Sick Leave, Disability...
They will decide YOU don't need any
"There are no good options at Thames Water. But temporary renationalisation is cleaner."
The City knows it, the markets know it, hell every child in the country knows it but there is govt, head in sand denying the inevitable, it won't end well.
