No doubt @Ofwat can explain to us why South West Water still have an operating licence.

"England’s rivers and lakes are poisoned by sewage. These official numbers prove it."

So what's the plan guys @andyburnham @angelaeagle ?

Tice says he & Farage have both filed claims in the High Court against the National Crime Agency.

There are no records in the High Court filing system to support this claim (that I can see).

Extraordinary story. First revealed in the @NewStatesman by the excellent @emilylawford, as @thetimes credits in the piece.

The Sunday Times and the @guardian have led the way on this story, doing extraordinary work. Appalling that Gabriel has to put up with this stuff.

The same @Arron_banks who is in photo below standing in front of Mowbray Jackson during a Russian interference parliamentary committee; the same Mowbray who @thetimes @Gabriel_Pogrund revealed to be one of the Reform operatives who helped Cottrell evade UK gambling restrictions by funneling funds via Fispay (Mowbray's company) from/to TetherBet (Cottrell's company). Ah, fun fact: Banks is one of the followers of TetherBet on X (of just over 6.000 followers - small world eh?).

Russia just bombed the Odesa stadium. The Olympics just invited them back by the way.

It's also worth noting that this would make Iran the third richest country in the Gulf region after the UAE, with a nearly equivalent level of GDP. Much of this increase will likely go into a weapons-buying spree, which I expect China will be eager to supply. In short, Trump has likely ensured that Iran will have the most powerful military in the Gulf within 5-10 years.

Like Peter Oborne, Carole Cadwalladr's bravery and pilgrim soul mark her out as a rarity: A journalist who defies the pack in an era when journalists hunt in packs and pat each other on the bat in packs. Groupthink is hard to stand up to.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🔥 The most revealing line in this Times piece?

Reform insiders say Farage called the Clacton by-election after advisers wrongly assumed resigning would stop the Parliamentary Standards investigation.

It didn’t.

So he’s spent his summer fighting @CountBinface while the investigation he apparently hoped to sidestep is still waiting for him.

Some master strategist.

Arron Banks hired private investigators to look into Sunday Times journalist

This is extraordinarily stupid and would instantly block the transit of European goods - which includes much of the UK's food supply - across the English Channel. Massively increased shipping costs would be the least of the problems caused by this witless aping of Trump's policy.

🚩🚩🚩 This is getting very disturbing.

The Sunday Times has been investigating the money surrounding Farage, Cottrell and Reform.

Farage & Tice are now suing the NCA over alleged leaks.

And Arron Banks appears to admit commissioning private investigators to investigate the Sunday Times journalist leading the investigation, responding: “When you live by the sword, you die by the sword.”

Don’t lose sight of what’s happening here.

Journalists scrutinise politicians. Politicians and their wealthy backers should answer the questions not turn the scrutiny onto the journalists asking them.

That’s what a free press is for.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

@emilylawford @thenerve_news So much more to say inc the evidence of Banks covertly surveilling journalists that came out in my trial (& was reported nowhere). This time he’s picking on a male journalist at a newspaper that actually has the guts to stand up to him so let’s see how this goes

And here's the bit that should make your blood boil, the @EnvAgency were charged with changing all of that 23 years ago and what have they achieved in over 2 decades?

Yep, nothing, in fact less than nothing....
