Quite an extra ordinary exchange on Thursday between the MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset @IanLG_MP and @PennyMordaunt Leader of the House of Commons.
It's claimed the owners of @SouthWestWater have hired lawyers to "threaten the press and parliamentarians".
Oh dear me.🤔

I have no idea why anyone who’s give anyone flack unless they were telling an uncomfortable truth.
We need to stop using peat in horticulture and then we need the horticulture industry to focus on becoming truly green, sustainable and ecologically responsible – at Bristol, England
