Sean Longstaff scored one of those goals that you pretend to score in slow motion as a kid when you're playing with a balloon in the living room.

I’ve taken a bit of time out recently and even watched some proper TV for once — usually it’s news, politics, or sport. Channel 4’s Dirty Business is well worth watching if you care about our environment, our water systems our green spaces, and the health of the places we all rely on.
It isn’t comfortable viewing, but it exposes what many people have been warning about for years.
In 2024 alone, 4.7 million hours of sewage were released into UK waters.
Like a boat without its bung — let that sink in.
Millions of hours of pollution poured into the rivers, reservoirs, and coastlines where people swim, paddle, walk, relax, and reconnect with nature.
Privatised water companies in England and Wales paid out £1.2 billion to shareholders during the same period.
This is not just an environmental issue.
It is a public health issue.
It is a governance issue.
It is a moral issue.
The writers and actors behind Dirty Business deserve real credit for telling this story with clarity, courage, and humanity. Their work brings the truth into the light in a way that is impossible to ignore.
Even more importantly, huge respect is owed to the real-life campaigners — the hearts and voices who have fought this battle for decades. Groups like Surfers Against Sewage, local river guardians, community volunteers, scientists, and everyday people who refused to look away. They were often dismissed or labelled as troublemakers, yet they were simply telling the truth long before anyone wanted to hear it.
You don’t need to work on the water to care about this. Anyone who values clean spaces, healthy ecosystems, and the right to enjoy nature without worrying about contamination should be paying attention.
Cleaner water should never be controversial.
Accountability should never be optional.
If you haven’t watched Dirty Business, it’s worth your time. If it makes you angry, that reaction is entirely justified.

@DP_tweets Have you tapped into Cross Country Trains CCTV? That is exactly what happened.

Plans to increase defence budget, and now this?
Wait, this is almost like Kier Starmer decided he's going to act like a Prime Minister. It feels weird.

@SeabrookCrisps To be fair, he's run a solid campaign.
I wonder if I could hire him to lobby @Morrisons into stocking Canadian Ham.

Just picked up a bottle of Lea & Perrins in the pantry, snarled "slag" at it, then lobbed it in the bin.
Must admit, this wasn't on my Saturday bingo card.

💔 It’s over! We thought Lea & Perrins was The One. But they’ve been having an affair… with WALKERS! 😱 So our Worcester Sauce flavour are now free and single. And they’ve have had a makeover. 👇
