How do we define "unacceptable"? If you're not going to do anything about it, aside from a little "urging", it seems that it's pretty much just being accepted. Ditto sewage discharges and a whole host of other unacceptable things that are allowed to keep happening year after year

Joint statement from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Canada.

"Government can just nationalise it. But then taxpayers will not only face years of legal cases and end up paying the fines owed to themselves; they’ll also still have to find billions to fix leaks, stop sewage dumping and build drought-proof infrastructure".

The LIE, the damned lie that's told over and over and over.

Over the next 5 years 99% of the funding to fix the leaks, stop sewage dumping, build infrastructure is NOT being provided by shareholders, it's coming from you and me and everyone else via those recent bill increases. The shareholders' contribution is actually less than 1% of the total spend. You should know better @CitySamuel

PS. Water company "fines" rarely if ever paid, at all, and certainly not by shareholders.

A prelude of what is to come.

Just you wait until this drought breaks and that inevitable deluge of rain comes and with it million of tons of sh*t getting dumped into our rivers and onto our beaches.

The full quote is even more disgusting:

“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

They cannot help themselves. On the one hand they don’t trust the police because they’re ‘the establishment’. On the other when it suits them they invent advice and say it has to be followed because the cops are the cops. If we don’t want Trumpism in the UK make sure these charlatans never get near real power’

It’s so incredibly stupid that this is how we let the world of business function.

Maybe the media could be discussing this instead of Andy Burnham having a holiday as if we are all 6 years old

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

A renegade polymath with binoculars and a beard , Bill was invariably funny and occasionally furious . He loved birds and loathed those who harmed them . He was delightfully unpredictable , sparky , smart and at times a bit spiky . Critically he really knew his stuff , and his passion was true - he didn’t just pick up his binoculars on telly , he went birding whenever he could . So he was genuine and that’s why we loved him , he never needed a script , and took scant interest in any he was given . He didn’t like rules and often neglected to play by them . This may have frustrated the serious and the worthy but it always amused his audience - he was an utter joy to be with . I recall finding a Black Woodpecker in a damp Dutch park with him once , he gazed at it intently , sighed , put down his bins , turned to me and just smiled . A massive grin . No words , just a beautiful childlike bliss . That says all you need to know about Bill Oddie .

Sadly we’ve not only lost a goodie , we’ve lost one of the besties .

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Keeping the public safe will always be my top priority.

I have instructed my team to put a pause on the sentencing changes that were due to start in September.

No prisoners will be let out under this policy until we have conducted an urgent review and done everything we can to minimise risk to the public. 

Where changes are needed, I will not hesitate to make them.

This document should keep you awake at night.

The govt’s National Risk Register now ranks losing our drinking water alongside a PANDEMIC as one of the two biggest threats facing the country

This year, in the right-hand document: The chances of “Catastrophic impact” on our drinking water supplies - up to a one in four chance.

Last year, same document (on the left) rated it a minor risk. Bottom of the chart.

So what changed? Nothing changed!

Water is still in private hands and depute the Water Special Measures Act deteriorating rapidly.

This is where 36 years of privatised water has brought us.

Tens of billions handed to shareholders. Over £60 billion of debt racked up on water assets that should belong to al of us.

Leaking pipes. No new major reservoirs. Sewage in our rivers, on our beaches, in our sea.

They didn’t invest. They extracted. And now the state’s own risk experts are telling us the tap water could go.

And the regulators? They watched. Fines for pollution became a business expense. Thames Water’s creditors are now asking for their pollution fines to be written off. You couldn’t make this stuff up!!!!

So let’s cut the crap about ‘tougher control’ of water companies. We’ve tried that for 36 years. It ended with drinking water on the national risk register next to a pandemic. You can’t regulate a cash machine into caring about you.

There’s one answer. Bring water back into mutualised public ownership. Run for people, not profit. Answerable to bill payers, not bondholders. Every single pound going back into the pipes and reservoirs we should have built decades ago.

Water is life. And yet we’ve watched it turned it into a payday.

Time to take it back.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.
