The best defence of centrist politics (and argument for it) I’ve heard in a long time. He’s so good on this stuff. https://t.co/4qmuOsOatl

The idea that the BBC is a waste of money, can get fucked. Our publicly owned broadcaster is the ONLY thing we do better than anyone else in the world. 'In Our Time' on Radio 4 alone is worth the licence fee.

Nigel Farage says it upsets him when people call the far-right violence 'The Farage Riots'. So people should definitely not do that

Harlyn Bay, Cornwall back in the news again. Not in the least shocking considering there had been 13 sewage dumps between 18 June and 18 August with 8 in July alone. Pretty standard stuff for @SouthWestWater

Between 2012 - 2022 @AnglianWater paid shareholders £4.6 billion and now they want to put up your water bill because they didn't spend enough on infrastructure. No doubt you'll remember that come the general election. Oh, and @ofwat did what exactly? https://t.co/zcE3xDOZ5w

£4.9 billion profits, up 40%, when your nan daren’t leave her immersion heater on. There is something unfathomably wrong with this. But hey, don’t pay attention to these cowboys, look at the boat people instead.

Good old @SouthWestWater always dependable, always reliable, always crap. Highest water bills in England, customers living under a hosepipe ban since last August and this morning dumping sewage into huge swaths of if not most of Cornwall and Devon. Ho hum.

What is it that you actually do, @mercer_felicity ? Take a break from obsessively attacking Vorderman to provide a breakdown of your duties. The people paying your wages have a right to know.

When your team need a point you step up!

In the 2 weeks since saying "SORRY", 3 water companies have already paid out £672m to shareholders, that's your money and they still want to fleece you for another £10bn. Remember that the next time you find yourself standing at the ballot box. https://t.co/zQitkQ8jGx

When Tina Turner left her first husband - who was also her boss, captor, and brutal tormentor - she snuck out of their Dallas hotel room with a single thought in her mind: "The way out is through the door." From there she fled across the midnight freeway, semi-trucks careening

Jeff Stelling is a national treasure. One of Teessides greatest exports.

Conservative MP Johnny Mercer just voted for a tax break for the top 1%. Instead of standing with Plymothians in the midst of a cost of living crisis, this is how he and the Conservatives thinks £1 billion should be spent. Labour will always stand with working people.

Overnight Plymouth’s Conservative council chopped down nearly 100 trees in the city centre. It’s a scene of environmental devastation and utter council vandalism. I’m appalled at the actions of the Tory Council. Sad day for our city. #plymouth #ArmadaWay
