The call for public ownership of the water industry is growing louder everyday.
Why are govt refusing a referendum, why are govt refusing to allow the public to decide?

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

@mihangelsiencyn @Keir_Starmer No, just get someone who knows how to negotiate.

We should rejoin the EU without delay, @Keir_Starmer.
The Daily Britain@dailybritainonx
63% of Britons say they would now vote to rejoin the EU. Brexit has cost an estimated 6-8% of GDP. Net migration - one of the primary Brexit arguments - hit 944,000 in 2023 before falling to 171,000 under Labour, its lowest since 2012. The government is already moving toward EU regulatory alignment. A Question Time audience member: "We're papering over the cracks." Should Britain rejoin the EU?

@OperaSocialist Farage isn’t making us stand in a queue! It’s the EU!
English
If your summer holiday is delayed because of Brexit EES restrictions, remember Farage got paid £5 million to make you stand in a queue.

@OctaviaHill86 Hell no. He and his merry band of colleagues have not yet realised that instead of buying oils and gas from Norway, hugely boosting their economy, they could be using our own from the North Sea.

@tobyperkinsmp m glad you mentioned people had stopped listening by the time as I am too charge. That’s exactly
What’s happened now with Starmer.

@SKinnock deluded. You think increasing minimum wage and employer’s NIC at the same time is good!!!!!

Yorkshire Water spewing sewage from Thornton le Dale sewage works in dry weather!
Again and again.

@Matt_Pinner Neither should have been prime minister.
You could walk down the street and probably pass a dozen people with more common sense, charisma and honesty.
English
Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer?
English
@edballs well done to your, Suzanne and Good Morning Britain for the Forrester interview.
This spill at Thornton le Dale, the third of its type and the EA have done nothing.

@Feargal_Sharkey @kitbradshaw you completely
Miss the point. Find out who is responsible and get them in front if a Judge.

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
Kit Bradshaw@kitbradshaw
NEW: Tunbridge Wells MP Mike Martin is calling for Ofwat to waive its £22m fine for South East Water and replace it with an enforced investment plan. The water regulator proposed the penalty for multiple supply failures in Kent and Sussex from 2020 to 2023. @itvmeridian

Should Manchester United's co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, apologise for saying the UK has been colonised by immigrants?
The Prime Minister has said his comments are 'offensive and wrong' and demanded he say sorry.
What do you make of the situation?
English
@ITVNewsPolitics They do represent the views of most brits including people of ethnic minority to stop trying to divide and rule.
We are being taken over.

Reeves calls Jim Ratcliffe's comments about immigration 'disgusting'
The Chancellor called on him to apologise and said his remarks 'do not represent the views in modern Britain today'
English
@Keir_Starmer You need to go mate
And when can my brother have his shearling jacket back that you borrowed!
We know you like free clothes but you were not given that!
English
Offensive and wrong.
Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse country.
Jim Ratcliffe should apologise.

So how's that privatisation of the water industry thing going? 👇
IlkleyCleanRiver@CleanIlkley
So, lovely morning at Denton near Ilkley. Described as "tap water like gravy" Yorkshire Pudding anyone?

@JamesMelville Someone once said there is a similarity between being stupid and being dead in that the person don’t know but everyone else does.
Starmer is the epitomises that from the stupid perspective.

British decay:
▪️Rubbish everywhere
▪️Blocked road drains
▪️Dirty road signs
▪️Weeds on pavements
▪️Potholes
We are paying huge amounts of council tax and getting a reduced return on our investment from local councils.

@SohailQureshi_ @Keir_Starmer When did Britishness become diversity?
English
Despite deep differences with Starmer on many policies, he’s right on one thing: far-right race rhetoric must be confronted.
Well done, @Keir_Starmer.
Britishness means diversity. Period.
This isn’t about a small minority or so-called “culture wars.” It’s about allowing racist narratives to fester while Britain faces serious economic decline.
A mass exodus or sharp cut in immigration would decimate the UK—its economy, its NHS, its future.
Ignore this reality at your peril. You have been warned.

We need to shoot down this idea that slogans, easy answers, quick fixes and shortcuts are what fix the country.
