Together, water companies are upgrading sewers across the country, to halve sewage spills by 2030. So, everyone can enjoy cleaner waterways.

We were delighted to join Claire Baker MSP as she visited RSE to mark Scottish Apprenticeship Week. Fife College works closely with employers like RSE to support apprentices in gaining the skills, qualifications & confidence they need to succeed in industry. #ScotAppWeek26

@HOMESofFOOTBALL Looks a lot like Brough, or the artist formally known as Carvetti

@paulinescott222 You know where to find me 😁

@stevesless Thank you for saying these words. There has been a lot of adaptation, reflection, and then further action. I wholeheartedly believe that the best is still to come. I would welcome more friends on the journey 😉

2025 was a year of growth for Paradigm. Our team has been key to our success. Integrity, talent, creativity and passion 👏

@paulinescott222 Every setback is just feedback in disguise. You learn, adapt, and come back stronger. Keep going — the progress is clear, and the best is still ahead.

@stevesless Thank you Steve. I always appreciate knowing encouragement is there. It's been a steep learning curve with much more to come. We are up for the challenge.

@BloodyPolitics Wow, a chipmunk - haven’t seen one in many years. had nearly 30 hours of flying time in them whilst in the Air Cadets. I believe they once used to train WW2 pilots.

Not many planes flew over Bee Towers today, so here's a wee one I snapped recently. #sizedoesntmatter

@UnisonDave Completely agree with your analysis on scarcity, but your wide off the mark on how the capital programme is delivered. All PFI will be back in SW ownership in next 3 years. SW is one of the best performing water companies in UK and has the best quality water in the world

Water and wastewater is rarely discussed in Scotland because it rains and so we don’t think there is water scarcity. And with a public water service, we don’t have the shambles of the privatisation. However, as I explain here both of these are misleading. unisondave.blogspot.com/2025/12/water-…

@_RebeccaMcCurdy @JohnSwinney @heraldscotland Rebecca, your videos in the night were outstanding. Your delivery and analysis were first class 👏👏👏👏

.@JohnSwinney thanks his wife Elizabeth for her sacrifice as he is named @heraldscotland Politician of the Year. #politicianawards25

@AnasSarwar Brand Scotland should be more than just Food & Bev exports - Scotland is exporting world class engineering across North America with zero help.

Brand Scotland: selling our strengths to the world, creating jobs at home.

@ScotRoadArchive Manged to rescue the temporary works drawings when the Inverness office of Morrison was getting refurbed. Civil Engineering history - too important for the skip

#OnThisDay in 1984 the Kylesku Bridge was opened to traffic by Queen Elizabeth II. The bridge was designed by Ove Arup & Partners and built by Morrison Construction. It has become an icon of the #NC500 and its unique design has seen it win several awards! #Archives #Scotland

@ScottWWright Your quite right Scott, we are the largest employer in her constituency and her support has been really helpful to us growing to 2,000 people. She has not got everything right, but she is generally a positive force for business

I can only imagine this will be a big disappointment to Scottish business people who have been impressed by Kate Forbes' understanding of the issues they face - even though she hasn't always given them the answers they have sought.

@lauraviatrix Roblox is a great environment for kids to explore; but be careful that they keep within it. Lots of Discord chat groups which lure kids in. We had significant online harm for our 13 yo which started in Roblox and ended up in Discord.

Kids have started playing with Roblox Studio. I'm quite impressed by what Roblox has built with this editor. They can even collaborate in real time. Can't wait to see what they will build!

@GraemeKelly1 The sites perpetually crashing as well when you get through.

Before I order online, is the new kit in the club shop now or pre order only? #LFC

@L__Macfarlane Nonsense- prices are low in Scotland because the Scot Government choose to not increase prices above inflation to keep up with investment. Assets in Scotland need replacing just as quick as in England due to chronic underinvestment in last 30 years.

And if you think Scotland’s low population density is somehow a benefit, it’s not. It massively increases the cost base, as you need far more pipes / sewers per customer Prices in Scotland should be far higher as a result, but they’re not. Why? Because it’s publicly owned

This is desperate - he’s selectively focused on water usage, meter coverage, and leakage. There are very good reasons why these are higher in Scotland What matters is water quality, environmental performance and price. Scotland performs better on all three

Hey @grok who was the most famous person(with the most followers) who has visited my profile? They don’t have to be mutual. Don’t tag them, just say who it was.

@ArneSlotArmy_ Just said the same thing 🎉

THIS IS THE BEST TRANSFER WINDOW OFF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN

@BladeoftheS That 33% “profit” figure for Thames Water in the early 90s mixes things up. It refers to operating margins before interest or big investment costs. Back then, the company had little debt but also faced huge future spending needs. Privatisation brought ia need for private cash=

@BladeoftheS t’s a myth that bankruptcy “stops the theft.” Thames Water’s debts don’t vanish—they’d still be paid by taxpayers or customers. Water’s capital needs are huge, and the system was underinvested pre-privatisation.

Thames Water announced losses of £1.65bn today When it was sold 30 years ago it had zero debt and made an operating profit of 33% Bills have gone up way above inflation, even before this year's nearly 50% increase They need to go bankrupt it is the only way to stop the theft
