Water is not a dumping ground. It was good to meet Matt Staniek of Save Windermere during the EFRA committee visit and hear about the fight to protect our waterways. We must hold water companies to account. But ultimately, public control of our water must be the way forward.

All those that called for Starmer's head should be ashamed. These are not real MPs, they were voted in on the back of a shit Tory regime and Starmers integrity. Unless the government gets a grip Labour is buggered.

I see an even bigger divide now, than when Starmer was PM. He had broad appeal for the pragmatists & realists. Now we're heading back to the tail wagging the dog. Those that quit the cabinet bringing Starmer down were incompetent at their jobs & looking for a scapegoat. I'll reserve judgement.

So, Healey sited lack of invest as a reason for quitting as defence sec, Raynor sited lack of investment in housing etc and quit. Whingers on the left of the party, it was all Starmer's fault. Let's change leader just as things are improving.🙄We have a bunch of quitters, way out of their depth.

Social housings a scam. Council/Gov pay to have them built, put in the hands of not for profit housing associations, and then sold off via umbrella companies.

To answer your question Mr Lowe, I do. His name is Nasser Hamid. He was 16 when he left his village, to escape Sudan's civil war. He could not speak English. Look what he achieved! I admire his courage, resourcefulness and intelligence. All qualities sadly lacking in... certain people 🤮

There may be an explanation. But the trail raises a legitimate question about what was declared on his election paperwork and the actual use of the property at the time. Given Arundell's extensive property interests across Boston, it's a question worth answering.

Burnham must be watched carefully. He seems to have no scruples at all about claiming the credit for the great work of his predecessors. He seems to be reluctant to provide attributions, or tardy at the very least.

Maybe he'll get 12 months before he's replaced. Perhaps this is going to be how UK politics plays out in the future. I could spare a few months to act as PM. Might as well all have a go.

Reform's Zia Yusuf had claimed the state was "providing no protection whatsoever" to the party's MPs. In fact, Nigel Farage had been offered a package that would have given him the same level of protection as Kemi Badenoch - but he turned it down.
