So exactly how effectively has govt, water industry and regulators been in dealing with pollution, sewage dumping and the despicable state of our rivers and beaches in the last 12 months? "Serious pollution incidents up 60% in 2024 from previous year." It's over. Enough of the…

Panic at BBC HQ: “Oh sh*t! How are we going to keep this new sensation off Question Time?”

Islamophobia isn’t just socially acceptable in the UK now – it’s flourishing. How did this happen? *Easy because the media never took it seriously..it’s been going on for years… theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Hilarious how mainstream media (known for their antagonism towards the Left) are soooo concerned about whether a Corbyn /Sultana gets off to a “clear” launch or not. (Just the start of the criticism masquerading as objecting journalism.)
Hang on, now Jeremy Corbyn’s team say Your Party is an ‘interim name’. Not the clearest of launches.

The little people must be kept uninformed about nukes in their community for their own sake says Lammy. 👇 what kind of democracy is that? @CNDuk
David Lammy says it would be wholly inappropriate for the British public to know if US nuclear weapons are now stationed on UK soil.
To be clear about this the £100 billion to nationalise the water industry being branded about by govt this morning does indeed come from a think tank report commissioned, bought and paid for by; @AnglianWater, @stwater, @SouthWestWater and @unitedutilities It also uses a…

Fantasy water politics 👇
Government pledges to halve sewage discharges by 2030 - while also planning to add 1.5m homes to an aging sewage network requiring massive upgrades to cope with capacity.
