The water company said in a statement after sentencing: "We apologise for what happened in the past." Presumably that's only because they can't yet apologise for the sewage spills in the future?

South West Water fined almost £8m for sewage spills

South West Water previously entered guilty pleas to pollution offences spanning six years.

🎭 Do party members with "dark" traits want "dark" leaders? Paul Webb, @timbale.bsky.social & Stavroula Chrona survey 4,266 UK party members: Reform UK and Conservative members score higher on the "Dark Triad", and those high on these traits prefer leaders who share them. 🔗 doi.org/10.1080/0140...

Description of the article "Personality, populism and party: support for 'dark triad' leaders in the UK" by Paul Webb, Tim Bale and Stavroula Chrona, published online first in West European Politics.

Table 1. Mean scores of Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green, Conservative and Reform UK members on Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy, and on their preference for leaders with those traits. Right-conservative members score higher than left-liberal members on the Dark Triad measures and are clearly keener on leaders with Dark Triad personalities.

Table 2. Regression table of two linear models predicting preference for leaders with Dark Triad traits, by party membership, party vote, demographics, ideology and respondents' own personality. Left-liberal members and voters score lower, and right-conservative members higher, than the Reform voter reference group; respondents' own Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy each predict a stronger preference for such leaders.
