I’ve just been kicked out of this ‘private event’ - a lobby conference with @rishisunak about to start. I’ve been reporting on climate for 35 years so it’s possible I know more than most Pollcorrs. That’s why the environment corrs are left outside. ⁦Fiona Harvey⁩ ⁦

HOWLING at this present from husband. I had no idea what they got up to on walks but apparently every cat sighting from the past year has been catalogued in this book 😂

So when you see a headline like this, you don’t need to do much digging - just give it a quick sense check. How likely is it that 70% of customers are lost overnight for a bridal shop, with excellent public transport links, cos they all drive 20yo cars…. 12/12

Tory MPs just voted to insist that Afghan interpreters who served British armed forces can be sent to Rwanda. A scheme which costs £2m per asylum seeker. A £500m+ scheme for less than 1% of asylum seekers. Which now includes those who worked with our troops Shameful & shambolic

"Water firms hike dividends despite sewage pollution scandal and rising bills." These three companies alone have just made £710,000,000 in profit. Screw you is what they're saying, screw you and screw our rivers. It's gotta stop and that time is now. independent.co.uk/business/water…

"Severn Trent raises dividend despite increasing bills and sewage spills." Shh! Don't tell. We may have increased the amount of sh*t we dump into rivers by 33% but we're going to give our shareholders a 25% pay increased anyway. Oh and pay our CEO £3.2m mirror.co.uk/money/severn-t…

"UK’s Environment Agency chief admits regulator buries freedom of information requests." There it is. Corruption. Management at the Environment Agency burying FoI requests because it exposes their inept, incompetent handling of WCs. Will a new govt act? theguardian.com/environment/ar…

The final report from the Grenfell public inquiry is damning. It cites “decades of failure” by the Government and "dishonesty" from cladding manufacturers. This is the story of how the state not only failed to regulate the building industry but actively encouraged deregulation
