The Tricolore textbooks did not prepare us for all this shit going off in France. The most exciting thing that ever happened in La Rochelle was Annette falling off her bike or Philippe enjoying a particularly tense game of le badminton down l'auberge de jeunesse.

This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.

Replying to @Ofwat
@Ofwat simply has to remove @sewateruk license. South East Water are blaming Moody’s junk status on the last two major outages, whilst taps are dry again for thousands in Kent. SEW aren’t compliant with the conditions of their license & intervention is now urgently required.

The Friendly Society Hall was designed by William Barnsley Hughes when he was apparently only 25 years old. An accomplished piece of Victorian eclectic design which deserves conservation as a building, not just as a façade … Thanks Sarah Mott : Photographer #tunbridgewells

The Council's developers say the snooker hall has to go to make space for the cinema. We have shown this is not so. The snooker hall is valuable socially & the building for its history & architecture. We have shown the developers our alternative & are waiting for their reply.

'This is no way to live': The fightback group in 'water limbo' trib.al/0n3stKJ

The group fighting back amid Kent's 'water limbo' - which they blame on South East Water

Although most people are now reconnected, lengthy outages in Kent and East Sussex in December and January mean residents in Tunbridge Wells fear further water cuts are just inevitable.

This is a phenomenal letter by @ThreshedThought It is quite clear that he simply isn’t going to stop until he has driven change in @sewateruk & provided his constituents with a reliable water supply. My money is on him not just succeeding but excelling in his aim.

I’m calling on the ultimate beneficial owners of South East Water to sack the board and bring in a turnaround team.

For those in #TunbridgeWells affected by the latest 36 hour dry spell, are you confident that water supplies will return to normal on Friday morning? (Begs the question what is a normal water supply? Can't remember - it's been so long.)
