English water ways are an international disgrace. So-called plans for improvement are announced by Tory governments, but they tend to remain plans, not actions. The pollution continues unabated.
Then at the next election, after yet another failure, the Tories promise to do better. And the whole disgraceful, #PostTruthSociety vicious circle of #PublicRelations , half truths & lies is repeated again, while the #Finacialization of the water industry goes on, unabated.
There’s money to be made by the water companies pouring their sewage into our rivers and onto our beaches. So, being greedy, they do it to add to their Directors’s bonuses & shareholders’ dividends.
#Budget2023 and #NetZero a thread. The UK is lagging behind in its commitment to achieving a drastic reduction in GHG emissions & protecting us against climate change.
#Budget2023 has an industrial strategy. However, it is clear that it will be insufficient to meet the requirements of #NetZero in the right place, in a timely manner in order to reach the target by 2040, not 2050. We are in war-time crises of an unprecedented kind.
Russia has been waging a cyber war against the West for at least 10, if not 15, years. Now due to #Brexit, #COVID19 , & #WarInUkraine, prices, especially energy & food, are spiking, but the Tory govt is either inadequate or absent in response.
I’m watching, on delay, @SuellaBraverman on @bbclaurak this morning. What a liar, what a fake, what nonsense she utters, no end of squealing and misbehaviour. She should be on a boat in the channel, experiencing the wrath of the sea. Ruanda! Deterrent! “Evil people smugglers”!… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
She should be on the cross of public opinion. What drivel, what … This is insupportable. “Cohorts of people”. Who does she think she is? We are not stupid. The ear rings! I could swear they were mine in a previous bad life. I can’t watch any more. #PostTruthSociety She surely… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 
These photos come from Paris and reflect my view of our Home Secretary, who is beyond the pale, so right wing as to be a racist, a bigot, a liar and a fraud. Trying to speak for the racists and miserable unwoke of the country. Promising the earth, but telling lies not truth.
I fell off this bike when I came back from a hospital appointment on 14Dec because the cycle paths had not been de-iced. I also had to see the dentist. When I arrived, the previous patient had been treated because his front teeth had been broken by a fall on the ice.
Many people fell on the ice, but the hospital outpatient services were quiet because the ambulances were stuck in the snow. This is a failing society. This is what #PostTruthSociety looks like c/o @TheConservati19 i.e. the @Tories misrule.
All for the want of some salt and the means to distribute it.
We had two weeks of Arctic hell in Cambridge, UK, over the last three weeks. The pavements, walkways, cycle paths, sidewalks, and side roads were not de-iced. There was black ice, so many serious accidents. The authorities failed 😨 to act.
We in the UK seems to have to look after ourselves when things go wrong. Good government is missing. “We’ve never had it so bad” as PM Harold Macmillan did not say.
