I don’t want a prime minister who has to call a press conference to read out letters from imaginary school friends and who thinks whatever he definitely didn’t do was cool because there was black face in a sitcom on TV at the time. I want a calm, competent, sober leader.

The British were always very polite to Gandhi, when not beating his supporters with truncheons.
Nigel Farage reads out letter from Dulwich contemporary at presser who said that while Reform leader's comments were "yes, sometimes offensive" they were never uttered "with malice". Notably,he doesn't repeat Richard Tice's claim that multiple allegations are "made up twaddle".

It’s worth noting that there are many causes of our broken infrastructure, crap public services, hopeless trains, creaking NHS, nightmare call centres, poor postal services, peeling town centres, stretched schools, absent dentists, lost carers etc. None of them are immigration.

Just leaving the developed world (Asia) for the developing world (Britain) where I will be boiling water before it’s fit for human consumption, and no doubt benefitting extensively from the other infrastructure decimated by 14 years of Tory incompetence, Brexit and other folly.

Dave Hinton, CEO of South East Water, hasn't been heard from since he telephoned MP Mike Martin @ThreshedThought to rant at him. 🤷♂️
“He's kind of complacent and over promises and under delivers and isn't fit to lead.” South East Water CEO David Hinton faces pressure to resign over his failure to manage the water crisis in Tunbridge Wells, says Liberal Democrat MP, @ThreshedThought. @KateEMcCann

This is a devastating interview. Excellent journalism.
Neil Hudson, head of water quality at South East Water, has spoken to BBC South East's environment correspondent Fiona Irving about the current situation in Tunbridge Wells. More here: https://t.co/sAjvUoEQq9

You would be much more likely to find Lord Lucan in Tunbridge Wells than the Chief Executive of Southeast Water.

Zero accountability. The Basil Fawlty of utilities appears to be running @sewateruk A functioning board would have dismissed him this week.

@sewateruk @ThreshedThought The latest piece of genius is that my post code isn't on the very long list @sewateruk have published of all affected postcodes under the boil notice, despite the fact that we had the same supply issues as everyone else. @ThreshedThought

To be crystal clear, as people seem to buy so much misinformation so readily these days, all action on the @sewateruk scandal has been led by @ThreshedThought and the Lib Dem led district council. Reform, who control the county council, have done exactly nothing, as you’d expect.

Since Sunday the local (Lib Dem) MP @ThreshedThought has worked every hour of the day on this, with the district council (Lib Dem). It has reached the Minister for water, and even the Prime Minister. 4 days in the leader of Kent County Council (Reform) wakes up. Truly pathetic.
‼️We are working with @TWellsCouncil and have declared a MAJOR INCIDENT in #TunbridgeWells which has now been without water for 4 days ‼️ This is completely unacceptable and we are not taking the pressure off @sewateruk until it is fixed.

When @sewateruk says don’t drink the water without boiling it, it’s a bit more that that. It’s actually not really suitable for washing dishes, babies, feeding pets, or anyone with a wound or medical condition. They probably need to, er, tell more people this. @ThreshedThought

Superb email from @sewateruk who after telling me all about how to boil water that isn’t safe for human consumption after five days of providing none at all excitedly trails a satisfaction questionnaire I am soon to receive. Whatever they’re drinking, it isn’t water. Obviously.

Always makes me chuckle hearing people moaning that Christmas is being banished so as not to offend Muslims. I am in Jakarta, capital of the largest Muslim country on earth, and you cannot move for Christmas decorations, in malls, offices, hotels. People should travel more.

It’s all getting a bit sticky for @sewateruk now. This where management incompetence and the worst communications team on earth gets you. Not a great look. Well done to @ThreshedThought for escalating it this far. The CEO must go. Today.
