Totally agree, let's do that then, 250,000 signatures here we come.
Replying to @Feargal_Sharkey
Fergal, I still think the debate will be a whitewash -look at the written response to 10.000 signatures. I still think we need to double the number of signatures, and join together, with others, to keep this Government under pressure.

What is being billed as the UK's biggest ever pollution case is being brought at the High Court in London by more than 4,500 people living or working along the River Wye. The case against chicken producers Avara Foods, Freemans of Newent Limited and Welsh Water is based on claims also involving the Lugg and Usk rivers that involve accusations that chicken manure and sewage polluted the waterways and turned them green and slimy. All three companies have denied the allegations.

So a bunch of environment charities who claim to represent 8 MILLION people living in the UK are about to launch what they say are their "Proposals for ambitious reform". 👇 If you manage to get to the end of point 1 with being bored raise your hand. When oh when will they learn they'er simply not up to the job and they desperately need help. Without it this is destined to be nothing more than yet another failure of an environment campaign.

We would be happy to pay for investment into fixing sewage pollution but not to be used as cash machine by parasites, which sums up privatised water's business model - take but never give.. No thanks - time to end the scam.

Great work Clive, a sane voice in the @HouseofCommons. This needs supporting Welsh MPs. @CatherineFookes @TufnellHenry @JoStevensLabour You have seen the latest debacle from @DwrCymru top-of-the-poops.org/company…
Water is a critical national resource. It is part of our commons, and belongs to all of us. Yet a decades long ideological commitment to privatisation has seen water treated as a commodity, a profit extraction vehicle that exists to enrich a small few at the expense of the many. We can do it better. My Water Private Members’ Bill aims to show how - and it’s being debated tomorrow. Watch the debate from 9:30am here: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde… Read the Bill and find a briefing here: bills.parliament.uk/bills/37…

A massive shout out to top-of-the-poops.org/. Great work that our regulators should do is being done by people who care. Now armed with this, what will our politicians do about it? Well the one and only @labourlewis is up for it, meanwhile @SteveReedMP looks the other way.

It doesn't have to be this way. Some great resources @SteveReedMP @JoStevensLabour @premnsikka @labourlewis @CatherineFookes to see the radical change happening across Europe to take our water back from greedy corporate interests. Want a briefing? thepeoplescommissiononthewat…

Groundhog day at the @NatResWales board meeting. Departing board member @fedwarian calls it. Talk talk. A board that is handsomely paid to deliver what? You will never hear an outcome spelt out hence never accountability made. There is NO shortage of money just the will to act.

And the final insult of the day from this failing organisation NRW. Good riddance to the Chair & CEO. The chair brings Public Q&A session forward by 45m. Meaning the people who have asked questions wont be there. Well, here are the answers if not downright lies on video.

A once abundant Salmon breeding stream on the river Usk (The Rhiangoll, on the Glan Usk Estate) now devoid of Salmon for over a decade or two. If it isn't #Maize doing the trashing, it’s intensive sheep & stubble turnip. Any thoughts @WUFoundation on what can be done?

What failure & breaking the law look like. Isn't that right @NatResWales? I wonder when Non Executive Directors will start to hold the agency to account? Less than 55 Salmon caught on the Usk in 2024, a 95% collapse since year 2000 Nothing is happening to change this trajectory.

Our position is actually to support farming with fair food and tax policies. But to think for one moment that many family farms are “custodians of the countryside” is, quite simply, delusional. Fancy a tour around trashed nature by unsustainable farming, lunch included!
Interestingly we had a scientist&environmentalist come up to us today expressing his understandable fear of the irreversible damage the #FamilyFarmTax could do to the environment and biodiversity. As well as producing food, family farms are custodians of the countryside.

Plenty of this poison entering the River Severn catchment from old landfill sites where PCBs in mild steel barrels were dumped 40 years ago. Ticking time bombs.

Question is: Will it be damning? 30 yrs of abuse & what? Give Liv Garfield a bonus is the normal response. Paid £30M over 10 yrs for a monopoly business I wonder how much @stwater have funded eNGOs to keep them sweet? Institutional corruption and failure from @Ofwat & @EnvAgency

Lets have a moments silence for this poor home owner who watched their money quite literally blow away... No laughing
This is especially for @Shitlawns . A friend just posted this on FB. Their "grass" has blown away! Another excellent reason NOT to have these horrid, plastic lawns.
