In all fairness @SouthernWater did come & look at their stopcock 8 months after asking them. Verdict - they couldn’t fix it but they’d be back. That was 2 months ago. So who is the criminal here? A pensioner behind with bill paying for service he doesn’t get? Or these polluters?

I know a lovely man, nearly 76, deeply upset by sewage releases on his local beach by @SouthernWater & still waiting for them to fix their stopcock to his house 10 mnths on despite requests. He’s behind with water rates & upset to get this today. @horton_official @Feargal_Sharkey

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful. Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years. Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth. Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏
Barry Gardiner MP@BarryGardiner

Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt. Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers. So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?

How can the Secretary of State for Environment not be aware that according to the Office for Environmental Protection, the Environment regulators she presides over broke the law ?
Barry Gardiner MP@BarryGardiner

The Office of Environmental Protection says the Environment Agency (EA) broke the law by failing to regulate Water Companies properly. I asked the Secretary of State if she agreed. She said she would have to write to me!!

Sorry @metoffice I love you & practically everything you do. But I just can’t tolerate the new App - it can’t even get my location accurately & it brings frustration to my day instead of calm. Hoping for improvement either to old App or to a better version c.org/g8vxqSRtZ6

@AmericanAir you have sent me confirmation of travel for several connected flights from the US to Europe - but they’re not mine. They belong to someone with the same first and last name and I’m guessing a very similar email that has been mistyped. Can I dm you?

"Schools shut again as water supply issues continue." In many ways that is the biggest obscenity of all. Children been deprived of an education due to nothing more than corporate greed, regulatory failure and political indifference. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
