Can't remember a more powerful first Holyrood speech. @duncdunlopwas ex-CEO of @whocaresscot on @NicolaSturgeon's failure (as he sees it) over 'The Promise' to children in care and the care-experienced. Passion, frustration, a call for action. youtube.com/watch?v=sgi-f862…

Environment Agency inaction is a national scandal. On the Wye and many other rivers agricultural pollution is the most significant factor in worsening water quality. When will the EA enforce the law and protect our rivers? @SaveTheWye @RiverActionUK @GeorgeMonbiot

🇬🇧 We are supporting @ukantidoping during #CleanSportWeek which is focusing on protecting young people’s health and tackling dangerous misinformation online about image and performance-enhancing drugs. We want every athlete to know that true success is built, not bought

Can't believe how poor @UKLabour are at politics. @wesstreeting knew what the local election results would be, should have prepared and resigned on Friday and launched his campaign. He's a week late and won't win. @Keir_Starmer will do a deal with the Burnhamites to survive.

So @RachelReevesMP what will the chaos from a @UKLabour leadership battle look like? NHS shutdown, riots, banks collapse, trains stop running, supermarkets run out of food, wages go unpaid. Answer: None of the above, we will carry on as normal. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwy21gpr…

Some good news to brighten your day: ex-Battersea cat Petal has just celebrated her 20th birthday in her forever home! 🎂 Adopted from us back in November 2006 at just seven months old, two decades on she's clearly been very well loved. 💙

Caroline Lucas of the Green Party reckons that Water needs to be Renationalised. RT if you know it has to be.

Swindon Town Women join Swindon Wildcats in being crowned league champions. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏

Hopefully @Keir_Starmer, @EmmaforWycombe, @Ofwat will wake up and realise they are being played. This can only end badly for the environment, billpayers and eventually the government and @UKLabour.

Full of energy. Love it. instagram.com/reel/DXCfk49sn…

Water UK have turned off their comments but it’s important to note that @Ofwat advised all water companies to build resilience to population rises and climate change over 20 years ago. They didn’t which is why we have the issues we are seeing now. #gaslighting

So, public ownership of water is 'not the answer' according to the government, ignoring all the real evidence. But leaving our companies and us to be preyed on by the most expert amoral asset strippers and financial engineers is regarded as a market-led solution! This is why we need the power of a referendum to end the scam. Please sign and share. Less than a week after launch, we are already on 38K signatures and we need 100K to get a Parliamentary debate. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

This is how we end the water scam. Please sign please share, everywhere. windrushwasp.org/single-post…

Glorious video highlighting the beauty of the longlisted locations except for Swindon where the drone circles The Mechanics Institute a building that to Swindonians is emblematic of our cultural & heritage failures. Who at DCMS chose this & did they consult with SBC? Epic fail.

What should happen to Thames Water? Vote and share. #ThamesWater Please RT 💙💚💙 Remember: the fish can’t speak, but we can. Don’t hand their future back to those who polluted it.

Fascinating graph in the @FT South East Water story this morning "South East Water... has paid almost as much in interest and dividends in the past 15 years as it has invested in its infrastructure". Graph shows that levels of debt skyrocketed, quadrupled between 2003/4 to 2006/7 Guess who bought SEW in 2003 and sold it again in 2006? Yep, the Australian vampire kangaroo Macquarie. Macquarie then moved on to Thames Water and we all know what happened there. After dumping TW Macquarie moved on to Southern Water a company currently on Ofwat's financial sh*t list. Three water companies, all financially devastated, lumbering customers with billions of pounds worth of debt and all with one common thread, Macquarie. No mention of any of that in govt's hapless white paper.
