The Rivers Trust have since spoken out on what it will take to clean up our waterways: bit.ly/3Eg5Epk
#EnvironmentBill
Only a few days till we preach to the world about the environment yet in our own backyard rivers are treated like public toilets. Over 3 million hours of sewage in 2020.

Sir Claude Balls Feargal Sharkey James Daly MP I stood on bridge in #BradfordonAvon Wilts for 1 hr 2 days in a row to raise awareness of #SewageScandal and #EnvironmentBill . Would appreciate a retweet RiverActionUK Gareth Dean Hugo Tagholm Jenny Jones Gary Lineker
This is not how to make a #chalkstream . Our tester maxed out at 25 times the phosphate level for rivers - at the head of the #RiverVer . What hope with the underachieving #EnvironmentBill that we'll ever see this problem sorted? It's been going on here since the 1980s.
MPs are now voting on an amendment to strengthen the proposed Office of Environmental Protection. Labour is voting for a stronger OEP, the Tories are voting to keep it weak. #EnvironmentBill
The #EnvironmentBill is now law! ๐
This legislation will protect and restore our natural world.

September 2019 at Ilkley, are we any further forward, I am back there on Thursday filming. A river I film in regularly, and a river I regularly get covered in sewage litter. Certain sections I film more sanitary waste than fish. #sewage #Pollution #environment #EnvironmentBill
Brilliant to hear John Randall (of Uxbridge) express in House of Lords the huge disappointment the amendment to protect us rural residents from cocktails of toxic agri #pesticides was not adopted in #EnvironmentBill which it should have been! The fight goes on! ๐
Zac Goldsmith Natalie Bennett
Peers of all parties are backing #EnvironmentBill changes to curb #sewage pollution & #airpollution , and give the new #OEP & courts full freedom to enforce the law.
A parliamentary vote is called a 'division', but it's wonderful to see politicians come together for what's right.
Tomorrow MPs will vote on the #EnvironmentBill and with amendments that will decide whether water companies can continue to allow raw sewage to flow into our rivers. Will #Guildford and #Cranleigh 's MP vote to protect the River Wey? More from me here: bit.ly/EndSewageOverfโฆ
Marched today for our #RiverLea #wildlife calling for #healthyrivers #healthyseas #COP26 & for our MPs to vote for the House Of Lords amendment to the #EnvironmentBill to hold water companies accountable for stopping sewage being pumped into our rivers & seas #SewageScandal
Thank you to everyone who came to our event in the Senedd on Tuesday celebrating the passing of the #EnvironmentBill
Bit wild out there today, but exhilarating, until I swallowed a wave. Hope I'm not going to be ill Welsh Water NO to polluting our sea. #Sewage scandal

The #EnvironmentBill simply does not go far enough.
The Office for Environmental Protect has no teeth, they refused WHO air quality targets, and there's much work to be done on trees and single-use plastics #BanPlasticInWetWipes #COP26
Luke Pollard MP Ruth Jones MP Labour DEFRA
DEFRA admits in cursory statement slipped out this morning that itโs failed to fulfil statutory duty to publish #EnvironmentBill targets. This matters. Yet Govt claims they have capacity to review 570 green laws by end of next year under REUL! Madness โฆHelena Hortonโฉ
This is Scott Mann MP MP for North #Cornwall . Tomorrow he has the chance to vote to better protect our most precious marine & river habitats from #rawsewage by supporting House of Lords amendment to the #EnvironmentBill . All eyes on you Mr Mann! #Wadebridge #Rock #Polzeath #Bude
