PFAS “very persistent”, “mobile” in the environment, “toxic" there was evidence to suggest it could disrupt sexual function, fertility and development in humans.
@RachSalv's reporting on this is utterly brilliant and totally terrifying in equal measure.

"Water regulator's £1bn plans to reduce sewage discharges will only stop 3pc of spills".
Does the £1bn plan now replace the £3.1bn plan announced last August or the £2.1bn plan before that, or the £12bn before than?
HELLO! IS THERE ANYONE IN CHARGE?

"The politics of poo: How sewage-strewn beaches became Britain’s new election battleground."
I did warn government that the water industry was going to help them lose the general election and I was right.

Superb @FT analysis by @susanpjhawley of @EndCorruptionUK about @UKSFO - a govt that takes fraud & corruption seriously would strengthen SFO and value the Roskill model, not downgrade and split it up https://t.co/F1Idt0PXmk
"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?

"Anglian Water confirms Southend beach storm overflow".
No doubt @AnglianWater will be able explain exactly what "exceptional situation" arose that allowed them to legally do that and that by the way does not include heavy rain. @LewisBerrill

The arrogance is breathtaking.
Take something that is effectively illegal, sewage dumping, make it legal and claim victory. Shame on you and shame on your incompetent government.
Time for change. Time to go.
The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world and yet here is @DefraGovUK trying to celebrate it as a victory when they should be hanging their heads in shame.
Now there is truly shocking statistic.
167 hours elapsed between the showing of episode 1 and 2 of Paul's brilliant documentary yet during that time @SouthernWater managed to dump the equivalent of 931 hours worth of sewage along the south-east coast of England.
"More than half of water bills in England help fund leading Chinese investment firms."
Think on that the next time you pay your water bill.

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?
