Therese Coffey says she cannot fix sewage scandal ‘overnight’. Translation - Tory Govt can't clear the mess that it has created. After 13 yrs of Tory Govt, rivers are full of sewage. Water companies making bumper profits. Water must be nationalised. https://t.co/PCgfJwIjJZ.

UK Govt Rejected Dover Port Funding Bid For Extra Passport Booths. Result - 14 hour queues, pollution, missed holidays. Brexit has delivered misery and loss of freedoms. Tories blame others but can't join the dots to see consequences of their follies. https://t.co/3MrlbgFFuy

@66gooner99 On a number of occasions I have been asked to appear on GB News, business items, and have always refused. Hope they got the message.

Conservatism is toxic and Tories are now trying to rebrand themselves. Tory HQ tells Tory MPs to remove ‘Conservative’ from social bios. Whatever they do, it can't hide the damage, corruption, poverty and divisiveness that they have inflicted on people. https://t.co/AfGbu4uAqM

@julienxiii Water was privatised in 1989. Water bills have increased in real terms, but investment has been low. There is no competition and regulator OFWAT has done nothing to protect people.

Former UK chancellor Nigel Lawson dies aged 91. What will he be remembered for? Chairing Vote Leave campaign and then applying for French residency. City deregulation which caused the 2007-08 crash. Privatisation of gas, energy which haunts us day. Atatcks on worker rights.

England’s beaches had 8,500 hours of sewage dumping - blue flag beaches covered in waste. Water company execs get bonuses for dumping tons of sewage into rivers, face no personal sanctions. Are you eating seafood fished out of sewage filled rivers/seas? https://t.co/0EBQ6VqQkj

@rolandhoskins1 When incomes ceases and bills mount up, workers come under pressure to cove-in. I have seen nurses queue-up for food at foodbanks in my local hospital. Their wage/morale is low and many see no future in the NHS - which is what the Tories want as they seek to disband the NHS.

Not unsurprising that teachers have rejected 4.5% pay offer and will strike. Senior teachers real pay in England cut by £6,600 since 2010. Tory Govt spends 4.2% of GDP on education, 5.6% in 2010. Govt hands tax cuts to the rich but won't fund education. https://t.co/6mdQfQ4CGN
