Southampton Council declared a vote of no confidence in @SouthernWater after finding "levels of faecal bacteria 140 times the limit for designated bathing water status" in the River Itchen.
Good for them. Disgusting, as ever, from @SouthernWater.

Here's some benefits claimants we need to crackdown on.
£17.5bn Shell/BP
£2bn Amazon
£500m Glaxosmithkline
£700m Tesco/Sainsbury's/Asda
Nobody ever says these ridiculous benefits to billionaires are unaffordable, because they never even mention them.
Lets cut THEIR benefits.

Michelle Mone must be removed from the House of Lords and be made to repay the £187 million she owes the taxpayers. Michelle Mone and her husband, Doug Barrowman, should be in jail for fraud.

It's always pensions and benefits and things for you that are unaffordable.
Never billionaires, never war, never MP's expenses, never Lord's expenses.
Let me tell you the richest 1% in the UK gain more wealth every year than the entire cost of the NHS and Pensions for everybody.
That's what is unaffordable

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit.
British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit.
Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit.
It's the billionaires who are ripping you off.

NHS England has said that you cannot opt out of Palantir having your medical data and they refuse to review their policy.
So if you live in England, Palantir, Donald Trump, Netanyahu and co have access to all your medical data.
Nobody voted for this.

How is this right?
Dominic Cummings £50,000 of unpaid council tax 'written off'.
Lord Bamford millions owed in taxes.
Michelle Mone millions owed to taxpayers.
Paula Vennells millions received in bonuses.
This is wrong on so many levels.
An absolute disgrace.

Please help me keep my TD5 Defender on the road but this will be relevant to a lot of older cars!! ‼️IMPORTANT‼️ *Please Share.*
So the government is going to try and effectively remove old vehicles from the road.
They've created a sneaky consultation on this huge change with an end date of only the 6th of September.
They want to have a yearly emissions check on every car and motorcycle on the road AS WELL as your mot.
If you pass the mot but then go to your emissions check, if the vehicle doesn't emit exactly the same emissions as when it was built the car will be banned from any use on the road even if it passed its mot emissions.
‼️ This will effectively destroy cars for those of us who love older cars, as well as those who simply can’t afford a newer car. Also car tuning and modifications will be forced to stop you been able to drive your car.‼️
This is targeting all vehicle, cars, motorbikes, trikes, kit cars etc.
So far they are just targeting cars after 2001 but they want to use it on every vehicle on the road targeting mot & tax exempt (historic) vehicles.
They've purposely not given this consultation much time, so please go to the bottom of this page, click this link: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/x-QHYJB7… and click *DISAGREE* and tell them you do not want any of this from the government and share the consultation for others to do the same.
Only way to stop this would be to get the results of this consultation to be a resounding NO (DISAGREE)!

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

For 37 years, privatised water companies have fleeced customers and poisoned our supply whilst extracting £88bn+ in dividends.
Privatisation is a scam. It is absurd that successive governments have allowed this farce to continue.
Put water into democratic public ownership, now.

The America vulture capitalists now running Thames Water are trumpeting Liz Barber, former CEO of Yorkshire Water, as the new saviour of the company.
Would that be the same Liz Barber who put up customer's bills by 41% and then refused to give up her own bonus? Of course it would.
Liz Barber was paid £1.32 million in her final year as CEO of Yorkshire Water.

This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

🚨‼️ ¡ATENCIÓN! La decisión de KTM de bajar de la moto a Maverick Viñales NO se debe a su disputa personal.
➡️ La continuidad de Maverick está EN RIESGO tras una revisión médica en su hombro izquierdo.
➡️ Podría necesitar cirugía, lo que supondría el FINAL de su temporada. Pol Espargaró es el principal candidato para sustituirle.
➡️ Los resultados los recibirá mañana, lunes.
