Ah the Ministry of Truth has spoken, note the change language gone is the "private sector investment" now just a plane old "£104 billion will be invested". Why the change, because not a single bloody penny of any of it is coming from water company shareholders it's all coming
By 2030 £104 billion will be invested in the UK's water networks. @AnglianWater is building 35 new storm tanks to help cope with extreme weather. The company has already invested £96 million on 112 new and upgraded storm tanks. Find out more: https://t.co/lSUkpwS5W6

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws https://t.co/WfLikuuprR

😡🤑Read our piece for LBC News. "Over the next 5 years, £22 bn of our money, as billpayers, will go straight into the pockets of private investors. This is double the amount they took between 2020-2024." There may be investment in water coming down the pipe, but investors are

Despite having already signed off on a 36% water bill increase last year, Ofwat is once again allowing bills to rise, as shareholders’ profits are protected at the direct expense of billpayers.

This is shocking. New @jrf_uk report has found ‘very deep poverty’ in Britain has hit its worst level in 30 years. Why is this not on every UK news show this morning?
Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

5 lines into the foreword for new Water laws, the Secretary of State tells a massive, cynical lie, pretending customers' money is private investment. By line 12, it is a full-blown sinister fairytale. This is big money fighting to max profit from water bills and using our

@EdKrassen He was pepper sprayed, beaten, disarmed and shot in the back while on his knees. How any American can support this is insane to me. I don't care why he was there. Even if he was an anti-vaxxer protesting Biden's reelection, execution is not acceptable.

Talking is so necessary. Understanding others positions is key to good decision making.
One of the most interesting conversations I've ever had in a Green Room was with Ken Livingston - "Red Ken". He and I probably don't agree on a single political issue, but we had a good chat and parted on very good terms. Indeed, over the years, I've enjoyed countless

Last year, the government promised to crack down on water pollution. But without public pressure, its plans could once again let big polluters off the hook. We should all be able to enjoy clean
