Yes United Utilities paid £452,00,000 in dividends to shareholders in 2023 and yet they are still trying to fill lake Windermere with sewage.

As always brilliantly done by Susanna Reid 👏👏👏

Prof Hannah Fry, 'Where does Rishi Sunak like to go for breakfast... Wetherspoons' #HIGNFY

Ian Hislop, 'Oh he doesn't'

Prof Hannah Fry, 'He says: We have one at home in Northallerton. I think I still have the app on my phone.. Which is interesting, because, the Wetherspoons…

Definitely worth a read

One minute MPs are crying about needing more protection ,the next ,Matt Vickers MP sends his councillor pal and apparently two of his families employees to harass Angela Rayner... #r4today

Sorry. Maybe I have false memory syndrome, but I don’t remember the Brexit campaigners during referendum warning companies that cost of doing business was going to rise steeply and become ever more bureaucratic. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention

John Major (June 2016) was spot on when he said:-

“The NHS is about as safe with them (Conservatives) as a pet hamster would be with a hungry python”

It was bad then just look at the state of the NHS today

No one else to blame but the Conservatives

Exempting the monarch from a law is a convention, not a law itself. Conventions can be changed.
And this particular convention is an anachronism and totally out of step with modern life.
I should know, the House of Lords is full of such stupidities. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

Incredible exclusive by Pippa Crerar. Sunak paid £2m for focus groups to check whether 'Eat Out To Help Out' would be a popular thing to do, but neglected to even tell the govt's scientific and medical advisors so they could assess the health risk. ~AA

King Charles has demanded immunity from the new Welsh rural regulations, or he won't sign the bill and make it law.

2024 and the King still wants to be immune to the law.

Time to defund them.

So this week in politics we have William Wragg. A man who sent photos of his John Thomas to a random stranger on Grindr, who then blackmailed him demanding the phone numbers of his fellow MPs, who then all received dodgy text messages, and Wragg had to sack himself in the end…

Royal courtiers privately put pressure on the Welsh govt to ensure that King Charles could not be prosecuted for rural crimes under a new law.

Everyone is equal before the law, except when they are not.

We're told pensions are 'unsustainable', the Post Office is 'unsustainable' and now that the NHS is 'unsustainable'. They were all entirely sustainable before the private sector starting looting the public sector.

So, govt is paying £500+million to send maybe nobody to Rwanda, in planes they can’t charter, to live in houses that have been sold off, which will deter no one from trying to come to the UK. And Sunak is threatening to leave the ECHR if they can’t do this.
Totally fucking nuts.

'Three-year-old boy suffered vomiting and diarrhoea after 'sewage release' on his local beach.'

The sewage company is South West Water one of the worst environmentally performing WCs in the country.

Now how are those two things interlinked I wonder? 🤔🤬

When Junior Doctors are on £16 an hour and MP's are on £46 an hour.

And raising the Junior Doctors pay by £4 an hour is unaffordable, even though they just raised MP's pay by £5 an hour.

It's hard not to see the lie.

RT if Junior Doctors NEED paying.

E. coli levels in the Seine are unsafe for Olympic swimmers but Pres Macron is so convinced he can clean it up in time he's vowed to swim in it.

Rishi Sunak you up for it mate? Quick mile along the Thames next to Parliament? Take the Macron challenge?

'Anglian Water reports biggest rise in sewage discharges.'

It was the rain, the wrong kind of snow, it was Mr Jones at 75 Arcadia Avenue with irritable bowel syndrome or maybe it was the fact we paid our shareholders £4.769bn in dividends since 2012? 🤬

Imagine that Willy Wragg is NOT an MP.
Imagine he is a teacher and you are his Headteacher

Do you:
a) Let him teach Yr9 as normal
b) Praise his apology as courageous
c) Ignore parents concerns
d) Refuse to discuss it in the staff room

So, see the problem yet, Rishi Sunak ?

Britain has just had its wettest 18 months on record and some water companies expect to ration supplies this summer. This is how utterly incompetent the privatisation fat cats have been.

As a lifelong Labour voter, I firmly believe Angela Rayner should be investigated ... the moment we've finished investigating hundreds of Tory MPs, peers and donors who are tax avoiders, scam artists, sexual predators, bullies, racists, homophobes, or profoundly corrupt.
