David Hinton, the boss of South East Water, earns a base salary of £400,000 & received a £115,000 bonus last year Alas, despite previously promising to take our water back into public ownership Starmer is now siding with the profiteering private companies that are ripping us off

It's a scandal that there are tens of thousands of metal frames, signs, cones and sandbags needlessly discarded by @NationalHways and their unaccountable contractors. Tens of millions of pounds being left, abandoned, by the side of the road... @NatashaLeake

"Perhaps the worst moment for South East Water was when it opened a bottled water station in the wrong town." Oh yes they did. 24,000 properties in TunBridge Wells are without water, what do South East Water do? Set up a bottled water station in Tonbridge 5 miles away.

Britain is decaying. Blocked road drains. Potholes. Rubbish strewn streets. Dirty buildings. Road signs covered in muck. We are paying increased taxes, yet local and national governments and authorities aren’t doing the basics. It’s time for a Great British Clean Up.

FBU members in Oxfordshire are considering industrial action to stop dangerous cuts that could cost lives. Oxfordshire County Council are consulting the public on plans to close 5 fire stations, remove 6 fire engines and force at least 42 firefighters into redundancy.

It's awards day....

Fire related incidents are going up. Fire deaths are going up. But firefighter roles are being cut and stations are closing. This budget failed to introduce a proper wealth tax, and now the fire service is facing austerity mark two.

Well well.

Did you know that every single stretch of river in England designated as bathing water, bar one, has a "Do not swim" advisory posted?

Another Govt fail on protecting our precious chalk streams, but also a fail by the Tory Opposition. Where were they? Why didn't they oppose the Govt's lack commitment on this issue? Why aren't they opposing the Govt when the Govt is in the wrong? @Feargal_Sharkey @ChrisGPackham

🚨BREAKING: New data shows that even our most protected river sites are unsafe for swimming - another sign that regulators are FAILING to hold polluters to account. Enough is ENOUGH. The upcoming Water Bill must make polluters pay. Public health, the environment, and our economy
