Hollingrake is asked on #TrevorPhillips about the unrest in #Epping

And instead of talking about civil disobedience, riotous assembly, or the threatened welfare of the #AsylumSeekers and the citizens of the town, he takes it upon himself to say ..........

Yes, I am very worried about the number of people crossing the Channel in boats and the instability it causes."

I am livid!!

Here is Holingrake talking nonsense on #TrevorPhillips

"Just as inflation, water bills are much lower than they were 20 years ago" KH

"Nobody's adjusting wage increases for inflation. We are having to pay more for our water bills" TP

"In cash terms, you are paying more, but just as inflation, you are paying less." KH

- wtf does that last sentence even mean?

Holingrake offers up the either or guilt trip choice on #TrevorPhillips

"You either build new schools and hospitals or you replace antiquated Victorian sewage systems"

'You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants"

Paul Weller, Going Underground

Hollingrake, Tory Environment Shadow Sec has just said on #TrevorPhillips that, "We have seen £200 bill of investment since we privatised the water industry & that investment just wasn't happening when they were owned by the private sector"

It was privatised rapidly after 1987 GE

In 2017, research by the Uni of Greenwich suggested that consumers in England were paying £2.3 billion more than they would if the industry was state owned

Where did this 'extra' money go?

John Kiernan on #TrevorPhillips says "the shareholders [of privatised water] should lose their shirt"

"You're warning the tree huggers it's all over now," said the stupid man called #TrevorPhillips on TV this morning

Generally, it was expected today that Steve Reed was going to announce the dismantling of #ofwat prior to John Cuncliffe's Report, but he has bottled it and the British public are stuck with the 250 people who work for Ofwat incapable of doing much

Somebody has been speaking to Mr Reed.

There are forces above Labour that run my country. I truly believe this.

Steve Reed says, "Sewage pollution from the water companies will be cut in half in 5 years." #TrevorPhillips

Ambitious...

Here he goes another cliche
.Steve Reed, as I said yesterday,

"Our water sector is absolutely broken "

On #TrevorPhillips

Can't they be more imaginative in the words they use

He said bonuses have been banned, but what happened instead? Bosses' salaries were doubled.

Idiot

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. #Starmer withdrawing the whip because some Labour MPs stood up for their disabled constituents tells you everything you need to know about him and his government. Will follow back like-minded people. #bbclaurak #trevorphillips #DisabilityBenefits #TakingThePIP

On Monday, Sir John Cuncliffe will publish his report into the state of the UK Water Industry

To get ahead of this tomorrow, Steve Reed, the Environment Secretary, will be on #BBCLauraK and #TrevorPhillips during which he will announce the closure of the tissue tiger that is #Ofwat

But what will replace it?

Isn't it high time that full nationalisation takes place? Isn't this the opportunity?

In the #Labour manifesto, it says there would be no tax rises for “working people."

This morning on #TrevorPhillips Heidi Alexander, the SofS for Transport defined working people as those on a "modest income"

So we are glad that's been cleared up then /s

"If we can get the distractions of bureaucracy out of the way, we can get on with policing," Mark Rowley on #TrevorPhillips

- a far from ideal statement from an organisation that has been proven to be systematically racist

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. This is not a Tory Government the UN Commission has concerns about. This is a Labour Government. Their targeting of Disabled people on #DisabilityBenefits is shocking. Shame on Labour. Will follow back like-minded people. #bbclaurak #TrevorPhillips

Alexander repeats the ambition position of "phase out the sale of cars with an internal combustion engine by 2030" on #TrevorPhillips

Sebastian Coe is talking about the 2012 Olympics on #TrevorPhillips saying it "never got bogged down into a bi-partisan approach"

Coe, the Tory, is being a revisionist here

Johnson, who was London Mayor at the time, was going to cut the funding for Danny Boyle's imaginative introduction if he didn't drop the #NHS section.

Boyle refused to do so.

Johnson was booed every time he appeared.

Questionable way of thinking by man on the ##TrevorPhillips panel who suggested we "should consider Reform as a joke and not take them seriously."

That's how Hindenburg was conned

##TrevorPhillips asks Mel Stride, "Is it right that you are going to be saying foreign nationals should be excluded from sickness benefits?"

"We have tabled an amendment," MS

"Why pick on them, foreign nationals pay taxes . .... That's almost one third of the NHS"

"British citizenship should mean something," he parsimoniously replies

#NastyParty

Never vote tory
