Holding people to ransom Thames Water lenders demand govt block campaigners from legal action. Their demands: Exemption from environmental laws. No fines, prosecutions for abuses. Rocketing customer bills. Continue with sewage dumping, cash extraction. Let TW collapse. Nationalise for £1.

This will probably come as no surprise to anyone but.. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Last night, @LisaSmartMP.bsky.social tabled an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill to hold water company managers liable for missing pollution commitment levels. 

It was voted down by the government. It’s so disappointing that Labour MPs have voted to let these executives off scot free.

Prediction: Vance has joined Bluesky primarily to later boast on X that he's been cancelled by the woke mob when everyone blocks the boring little man.

🔺 HS2: Labour to confirm delay until 2033 after ‘litany of failure’ Heidi Alexander, the transport secretary, is to address MPs as the costly, crisis-hit rail project endures another setback

HS2 reports subcontractor over alleged fraud. Is there a pristine sector? Fraud/Corruption is endemic: In a rat race people are rewarded for hitting targets & self worth is determined by material outcomes, seeds of fraud and corruption are sown. How do we change our value systems?

You have to love the Brexiters losing their collective shit over Gibraltar becoming part of the Schengen Area. It's happening BECAUSE of Brexit which has made life very difficult on the Rock and that's why 95.9% of Gibraltarians voted remain.... but apparently Starmer is giving it away

The sea is rising, Eastbourne will flood – what’s the plan? sussexbylines.co.uk/news/environ...

Future flooding from the sea is now a reality. There are no clear long-term plans for this. What will this mean for towns like Eastbourne? #Eastbourne #ClimateChange #CoastUnderThreat

France is our closest ally. Isabel Oakeshott is ridiculous. Two facts you will never read on the pages of the Telegraph.

Revealed: 5,000 English nature sites at risk under Labour’s planning proposals

Irreplaceable habitats are on the line. This is the reality if an unamended Part 3 of the Bill passes. It must not.

An actual tragedy is playing out in real time on the pages of the Telegraph. If you are the praying kind then please pray for them.

🚨🚨 BOTH João Pedro and Georginio will not be involved against Tottenham.

Listening to Brexiters is to see a group of people who haven't changed as the world/country around them has.That's Starmer's gamble. Then as now, they continue not to reckon with a simple truth: we still need the EU more than they need us. New from me goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/brexiters-...

WHAT A WIN FOR THE ALBION! 💙🤍

Brexit was never going to work, but that's somewhat beside the point now - because it has become a cult. And that's everyone's problem when seeking to resolve it.

To guarantee 8th and Europe (ECL) #BHAFC 4 pts v Liverpool + Spurs Man C 2 pts v Bournemouth + Fulham (or more but don’t lose to Bournemouth) Forest beat Chelsea Man U don’t beat Villa Chelsea win ECL Chances? Remote. All plausible, but too much has to happen.

BREAKING: A leaked recording obtained by @news.sky.com reveals top Tory Chris Philp admitted the UK couldn’t return asylum seekers to Europe post-Brexit, despite promises made at the time

Yesterday's Commons debate was on UK-EU relations – the issue Farage built his career on. He now has the immense privilege of a seat in the chamber. So where was he? If he thinks the Brexit deal's a disaster, why not show up to say so? Utterly disrespectful to the public.

United Utilities in use 'less water' warning as reservoir levels drop. UU has 205 criminal convictions. It loses 175bn litres to leaky pipes, built no new reservoirs, paid excessive dividends, neglected Investment. Wants people to pay more for less. No national plan for water security.

Brighton owner Tony Bloom has bid £9.86m for a 29% of Hearts. The proposal, for non-voting shares, will be considered by majority shareholders, Foundation of Hearts. The fan group requires a majority approval to proceed, and a consultation period, prior to a vote, will take place until May 26.❤️

The FIA has issued instructions relating to the risk of lightning at the Miami Grand Prix. In that event, the race will be suspended and the cars returned to the garages. A re-start order will be issued no less than 18 minutes before the expected start time

Well that was frustrating, team played better today imo. However, when you are up against a good team like Newcastle and an appalling referee like Pawson, who bought pretty much everything they were selling... 'better' probably won't cut it #bhafc

The start of qualifying has been pushed back 15 minutes to 4:15pm local time (9:15pm in the UK) following the late start and finish of the sprint race. #F1 #MiamiGP #RaceFans

Why not? We are a nation of manic self-harmers.

The media give Reform such a disproportionate platform in relation to their actual size and popularity and then act all surprised when they perform well in elections. It's really dispiriting how many people are supporting such negative, discriminatory and backward policies.

Self inflicted wounds for America by an ignorant and malevolent leader. It took the UK 9 years to work on a reversal of their terrible move to break from Europe. America unwittingly wants to break from the world. Let’s get it together before more damage is done.
