"Anglian Water spills sewage for two weeks straight into rare chalk stream."
Repeat after me @AnglianWater.
Dumping sewage because groundwater seeps into your badly maintained, underinvested, creaky old network of pipes is illegal, ILLEGAL!
Got that!

How do you feel about #pigcrisis and YOUR company @asda complicit in the CULLING AND WASTING of healthy pigs for personal gain, choosing cheaper imports instead, leaving your CONTRACTED pigs to burn @bbcquestiontime

We must have been busy between 1994 and 1997 when it was made illegal to remove more than 20 metres of hedgerow: cpre.org.uk/wp-content/uploa…
All data is to the contrary.
Are you brave enough to retract your statement and apologise @watsonchas, or do you have evidence?

Here's some brilliant news to brighten your Sunday - in 2023, Britain generated more electricity from renewables than from fossil fuels!
And we're unlikely to see this trend reversed.

Astonishing how some people react to receiving the type of questions they pose to others… and are then caught out for giving answers that they would consider completely unacceptable from others. Priceless.

So @MarkAvery has confirmed:
1) Bird numbers down, but he/RSPB are proud.
2) The RSPB national plan to recover bird species was limited to just the farm it owns.
3) Bird numbers on RSPB reserves are okay because it’s members still visit them.
Astonishing. How the RSPB works.

The RSPB pulled in over £1m a year in grants on just one of its farms. Apparently all this is a laughing matter. Well the UKs farmland birds might disagree with an organisation that has grown its income to £146m a year… as the bird population declined. Just a thought.
'Profited £ millions from the decline of farmland birds' 🤣 I forgot how good value @AndrewGilruth was - absolutely 🦇💩!

So Mark, why are you not taking up the offer to meet Minette as per her welcome invitation? Are you concerned it may undermine your preconceived views? – at East Midlands, England
Mark Exelby retweeted
Perhaps this Ex-RSPB conservation director… an organisation that has profited £ millions from the decline of farmland birds over last 40 years… might like to explain how the e-NGOs, that raised hundreds of millions to ‘protect’ them, are not also held to account? 🤷♂️

Here they are again.
Can you tell me please:
1. Are you proud of your environmental record at the RSPB & why?
2. What were your plans to reverse biodiversity loss in UK farmland & why did they fail?
3. Do you accept bird numbers dropped on RSPB reserves and must now rise?

Michelle Mone's husband Barrowman has issued a "statement" this morning after @thetimes report showing the National Crime Agency is investigating a £3 million payment into Mone's Coutts bank account, which would prove her direct benefit from the PPE Medpro contract as well as indirectly through trusts.
The statement is full of "look over there", fundamental lies (we saved the govt £100 million - they didn't) & obfuscation. Who'd have thought it?
Obfuscation is where he doesn't mention that he didn't declare his interest on company filings- nowhere on the Companies House declarations at the time.
She didn't declare her interest on official documents, she lied consistently (par for the course), threatened press with libel, lied to her lawyers, lied about her lawyers "they told me to lie" - they didn't.
Now their defence about getting £65 million profit and pandemic profiteering is saying
"I'm not the only one who robbed the public, they're picking on me, it's not fair"
There is so much which needs to be investigated with other companies too. We've been saying this for a long time.
@RachelReevesMP has promised a Covid CORRUPTION Commissioner to investigate them if Labour win the next election.
More to follow with data.....
Don't forget to follow "The VIP Files" with @GoodLawProject and I here.
We have access to huge amounts of data through FOIs and are putting it together about numerous contracts given through the infamous VIP Lane.
It's a Tory mess which stinks and they're still trying to hide a lot of the evidence.
