Brilliantly put. 👏👏👏
Unhappy with your bank, phone provider, or electricity supplier? Switch.
Unhappy with your water company? Tough. No competition. No price control. No opt out.
A state-protected cartel profiteering from ecological ruin with total impunity.

Southern Water has put out a statement confirming to Helena Dollimore MP that their wastewater treatment works at Eastbourne was the source.
There have been issues known to several authorities there for some years now. Systemic failures.

BREAKING: Court of Appeal judgment handed down today in our nationally important river case with @pickeringfish against @DefraGovUK and @EnvAgency.
WE WON (again)! Government's appeal comprehensively dismissed.
The ruling sets out exactly what @SteveReedMP needs to do to restore rivers across the country. No more excuses. No more delay.

Tomorrow @Jesse_Norman will introduce a Ten Minute Rule Bill titled the River Wye (Cleaning) Bill. It would require the Secretary of State to publish and implement a plan for cleaning and improving the water quality of the River Wye.
👏 Well done to @Jesse_Norman MP for his bill on cleaning up the Wye in parliament tomorrow!

I’m so hugely disappointed to read this. For years I felt the conservatives had the best understanding for rural England and those who live and work in the countryside. This beggars belief 🤬 theguardian.com/environment/…

Anglian Water was fined £560K for a serious pollution in 2018.
The same year it paid over £1.9 BILLION dividend to shareholders. (Ofwat figures)
The fine? 0.03% of the profit the shareholders made while/by the company breaking the law.
