Right now the government is putting our communities, our water security and our climate ambitions second to the demands of tech giants.
It's time to slam the brakes on water-guzzling, energy hungry datacentres.
It rained....
And as predicted on @LBC with @HenryRiley1 not 48 hours ago.
Anything in brown is sewage being dumping into the environment right now, in real time, anything in red is sewage dumped over the last 24 hours.
Since privatisation England's water companies have borrowed £83bn, paid £88.4bn in dividends.
35% of customer bills cover financial costs
Under-investment is the norm
At the current rate of investment it will take 700 years to replace the water network.

Privately educated kids get internships in the City. State school kids get slave Labour for multi million profit making supermarkets. Sainsbury’s can afford to at least pay them a minimum wage. They should not be made to feel grateful for licking the dirt from Lord S’s boots!
When I talk to young people about work, the same thing keeps coming up. Not a lack of ambition - a lack of a way in.
One million young people in this country are not in education, work or training. That's around one in eight. And six in ten of them have never had a job at all.
I know that these young people aren't lazy. They have been let down by a system that told them there was only one route to success, and then left them without the opportunities to get their foot in the door anywhere else.
Too often, work experience has depended on who you know, rather than what you can do.
Last month we changed the education system so that from 14, young people can access proper technical education, with real skills, real work experience and real links to employers where they live.
Now we're bringing employers, schools and colleges together to close the gap between the classroom and the workplace.
The youth unemployment crisis has been ignored for too long.
That ends now.
En Lille (Francia), mercenarios policiales agredieron brutalmente a un joven negro que ni siquiera se resistía ni suponía ninguna amenaza, solo se acercó a hablar con los policías cuando fue apalizado y gaseado.
La vieja europa colonial racista nunca se fue, por mucho que cada día se llamen "demócratas" una y otra vez ante el espejo para convencerse de ello.
Hoy el tribunal del apartheid racista de "Israel" protegió y absolvió de cualquier cargo al colono Yona Schreiber, quién empujó por la espalda a una monja contra el hormigón, en Jerusalén.
Estos son los referentes ideológicos de la ultraderecha europea, esa que dice ser "muy cristiana".
This is just free labour for Sainsbury's, who totally coincidentally are the biggest donor to Andy Burnham.
This is pointless because Sainsbury's isn't offering 10,000 jobs, it won't even hire 1000 of them.
It's just nonsense and free labour.
We have over 140,000 NHS vacancies.
We should offer free training for those who want to train, and restore NHS pay to make it a desirable career again.
This is a really poor policy announcement.
I run a UK Tech business with UK data hosting. EU customers will not touch us if we are seen, in any way, to have sub-GDPR compliant processing.
This would not be a benefit to UK businesses, it would be a Reform UK sanction on them.
Sainsbury's profits top £1bn profit after closing all cafes and cutting 3,000 jobs 2025
Now they're going to get paid for hiring 10 000 free staff
Whilst taxpayer's also pay Universal Credit because of poverty pay

🚨 The Government must stop confusing the cost of intervention with the far greater cost of failure.
Thames Water is drowning in almost £20 BILLION of debt, while sewage pollutes our rivers, billions of litres of water are lost through leaks, and millions continue to be spent on finance and executive rewards.
Now the Government is reportedly shelving plans for Special Administration because of the cost.
But what’s the cost of doing nothing?
The Special Administration Regime was created for precisely this kind of crisis.
If not Thames Water, and if not now, then who and when?

Over 250 academics and lawyers have written to Andy Burnham urging him to end military cooperation with Israel and de-proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. https://t.co/fk4SlGo07c
Unpaid labour is not a solution to the youth employment crisis, it is grotesque exploitation.
Sainsbury’s made hundreds of millions in profit last year. If there are job opportunities available, they should pay fairly and guarantee full employment rights from day one.
Thanks so much @BBCNews
