Profiteering water companies. Toothless regulators. A complacent government. All turning a blind eye. 2.7m hours of sewage were pumped into the sea last year, poisoning precious ecosystems and making people sick. 🤢 This must stop. 💩😡 #EndSewagePollution

New Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman just told Conservative party Conference “it would be my dream to see a flight taking migrants to Rwanda by Christmas.” Our dream is to have politicians that treat refugees like human beings - not trade them for cash.
