They’ve given up now. It seems to me that the Conservative Party’s strategy is to bury their heads in the sand until after the election, at which point they will blame the in-coming Labour government for the (escalating) consequences of Brexit and claim that it would have been…

Liz Truss and Boris Johnson are both collecting a pension of £125,000 a year for life.

Andrew Neil of course has never mentioned that, but he will complain about Humza Yousaf getting 40%.

So Yorkshire Water 💧 says the reason for sewage dumping is two issues: 'exceeding the amount of sewage the system can handle and failing to adequately maintain assets'.

'Ever get the feeling that you’re being had? Presenting: the great sewage scam.'

At what point I wonder will the boards of Ofwat and the Environment Agency be charged with misconduct in public office Crown Prosecution Service?

Some pretty damn startling revelations at yesterday's Environment Agency parliamentary hearing.

Committee: 'Do you regard yourselves as doing a good job?'

Chair of EA: 'I don't think we can say we are doing a good job at the moment'.
