Guess who's back on the flat tonight? 😏 #ITVRacing

And here's the thing Ofwat already has the power to do exactly that, simply issue an enforcement order, see section 18 of the Water Industries Act 1991. In fact the law requires that Ofwat SHALL issue an enforcement order. Any failure to comply means Ofwat can then fine South East Water anything up to 10% of their turnover or revoke their operating licence. @ThreshedThought

Yet more corruption exposed. In 2024 98%, yes 98% of all serious water company pollution incidents got downgrade by the Environment Agency to minor. Time to end the charade, to call an end to the farce. Time for public ownership.

Dirty Business on @Channel4. Brilliantly made, devastating. Water must be nationalised now. The owners of the private water companies jailed.

I don’t want to be hasty but I’m beginning to worry that FIFA might not have thought that Peace Prize through properly.

Did you see the shocking finale to Dirty Business? Govt must act, NOW! And can I just say, a huge round of applause to all of the decent people working within the water industry and regulators, trying to do their job, to make things better, to put things right and all the while being hampered by politics, corporate greed and incompetence. 👏👏👏 theguardian.com/dirty-business…

What does it actually take for a water company to lose their operating licence?

"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. thetimes.com/uk/environment….

"Two hospitals, a kidney treatment centre, 15 schools, 19 care homes and 29 nurseries in Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding areas were left without water for two weeks before Christmas." Just think about that for a second, just think about that. ft.com/content/5d358a…

"Wessex Water bosses handed £50,000 in extra pay despite Labour government’s bonus ban." Govt's ban on water company bonuses yet again exposed as the farce that it is. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

Everything you need to know about South East Water and the water industry in a single sentence. Between 2020 - 2022 South East Water spent more on paying dividends and debt interest that they invested in infrastructure like pipes and water treatment works.

@itvracing @GBRacing What will you show on itv this afternoon?

🚨 Precautionary inspections will take place at 8 am tomorrow ahead of racing at Wincanton and Sandown #ITVRacing | @GBRacing

Since when did ministers become part of the water industry propaganda machine? "175 local volunteers spend the weekend on their hands and knees with tweezers and dustpans and brushes getting rid of as many beads as they could", and not a word of acknowledgement, not a word of recognition, not a word of thanks. Someone's got their priorities seriously wrong. PS. Southern Water of course were nowhere to be seen.

‘Forever Delayed - The Greatest Hits’ was released on this day in 2002, bringing together over a decade of Manics singles in one essential collection. The album reached number four in the UK chart and remains a perfect entry point into the band’s story. Which track on ‘Forever Delayed’ means the most to you?

My newsletter has another sponsor - Island Pellet Stoves. I am really excited about this partnership because they are a proudly Welsh company who create beautiful handcrafted, patented wood pellet stoves. Unlike traditional log burners, their stoves just need you to pour some wooden pellets into a side hatch (a bag will last you all day). This means you don’t need to keep opening the front door, eliminating indoor air pollution. Plus their stoves are automated so you can just press “go” on your phone. No more fiddling around with matches. It’s getting cold now isn’t it? If I were you, I would head to their website and see how they can make your home nice and toasty. You can find them here: islandpelletstoves.co.uk

Once again, this appalling private business prioritises its own executives. The CEO of @NatResWales proudly announced @DwrCymru were fined £1.35M for 800 offences in the two years, the three top executives, including CEO Peter Perry, shared a bonus of £1.2M @SeneddClimate

"Household complaints to water watchdog soar to highest level in nine years." And top of your sh*t list, that'll be Thames Water, Yorkshire Water, South West Water, Affinity Water and SES Water. You have been warned. Not that there's a damn thing you can do about any of it, they are state controlled monopolies after all. Yet another regulator wagging yet another finger. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

"Surfing competition abandoned after sewage is dumped off Cornwall." What a headline for the nation the 2025 English Inter-club Surfing Championships, abandoned due to sewage dumping. 🫨 thetimes.com/uk/environment…

"Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water announces 500 job cuts." Not content with dumping crap all over Wales Welsh Water now wants to dump a load of sh*t on its workforce. *Last year @DwrCymru spent 856,351 hours dumping sewage, more than any other company in the UK. nation.cymru/news/dwr-cymru…
