Ditto @PFreeNWLeeds @MarchforWater
We were so proud to be part of @MarchforWater last week and Why we must continue our campaign for cleaner U.K. rivers and seas! Please share @GreenpeaceUK @ActivistAnglers @saveourswale @MattStaniek @UnderwaterMedia @carolvorders @PeterStefanovi2 @CleanIlkley @leanahosea
Hi @CattHobbs what a plan!
Bring Thames Water into public ownership so that:
🌊 Your rivers are the priority, PROFITS get reinvested into cleaning them up
🌊 The governing board can include Surfers Against Sewage, River Action, Feargal Sharkey for real ACCOUNTABILITY
#floodthestreets #MARCHFORCLEANWATER
Marching with thousands @MarchforWater March in London today. What do we want? Zero pollution now!!
What’s going on in ministers’ meetings with water companies?
No-one’s taken any minutes...

Thanks @MarchforWater on our way from Richmond North Yorkshire where last week @YorkshireWater dumped from one CSO on the Batts into the River Swale for 163 hours!! This needs to stop!
We're all gearing up for the march today to send one simple message: 📢 Government, IT'S YOUR JOB to stop the poisoning of Britain's waters!
📺 Can't make it to the march today? Join in by watching the livestream from 1pm: youtube.com/live/t16nnewIVDM
Hi @CleanIlkley we're on it. Will let you know how how we get on. We have a couple of Baronesses here in RichmondNY...
Hi @Feargal_Sharkey @MarchforWater thanks for all you do. You're an inspiration.
Ladies and gentlemen here it is, a very special, one-off collector’s edition of @TheNewEuropean devoted to the sewage scandal and edited by me.
A huge, massive, humongous thank you to Matt Kelly and all of the editorial team for such a brilliant job, immense, you’re all rock stars. 👏👏👏
Available from all good outlets…
Hi @CleanIlkley Thanks for sharing.
@premnsikka excellent in HoL tonight proposing vital amendments to the Water Bill, and giving a masterclass in copmany finance and how regulators have let them run off with our money. if you need a direct explanation listen at about 17.10 parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde…
Campaigners question government delay in water industry review darlingtonandstocktontimes.c…
Hi @DefraGovUk there is nothing like a Gov Commission to delay what we know is already needed. Just enforce the current Law! You @UKLabour @serauk promised change not tinkering. @YorkshireWater @Feargal_Sharkey @CleanIlkley @MarchforWater
BREAKING: Government launches Independent Water Commission – the biggest review of the sector since privatisation to clean up our waterways for good.

Yes @UKLabour @SteveReedMP @serauk @Feargal_Sharkey You campagned on a promise of change. We're waiting for you to hold @YorkshireWater @EnvAgency @DefraGovUK to account- Why are you dragging your feet? Your hemorrhaging good will. You must know that!
There is a real disconnect between what @UKLabour says it understands and what it does. It’s simple just enforce the law @SteveReedMP stop tinkering around the edges
Hi @SOSWhitstable Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Difficult to keep up with their duplicity!!
It transpires that @SeemaKennedy, director of the water industry financial regulator @ofwat, is advising a lobbying group who are trying to "make it harder for consumers to sue water companies".
Perhaps a resignation is in order?

See you all @MarchforWater Sat 26th Oct, London.
Thankyou @Feargal_Sharkey for calling out 'inconsistencies ' without fear or favour. @DefraGovUK we all can see this now and are watching... @GOVUK @UKLabour needs to be joined up and transparent.
"The new legislation being introduced to parliament on Thursday will also give the regulators powers to ban bonuses for water company CEOs."
Am I getting confused or is govt? Treasury says it will absolutely not under any circumstances reintroduce the ban in bankers bonuses but Defra say they will for water company CEOs. Huh? 🤔

Banner is ordered @MarchForWater We'll be there.
Some of the measures brought in by the Water Bill are welcome, but these one-off actions do not go anywhere near far enough.
The govt NEEDS to fix the underlying causes of our poisoned waterways. The lack of urgency is putting people & wildlife at risk.🧵 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy5…
Those powers have been available to Governments for years @DefraGovUK the difference we need to see is them being used!!! and soon! No idle threats wanted. We need action.... @YorkshireWater @TheNorthernEco @RiverActionUK @Feargal_Sharkey
BREAKING: The new Government is cracking down on polluting water bosses.
