MPs set to reject move to make water firms cut sewage discharges

Photograph: Maureen McLean/Rex/ShutterstockPhotograph: Maureen McLean/Rex/ShutterstockThe government is to reject calls to place a legal duty on water companies to reduce raw sewage discharges into rivers.

If you wanted to see one thing that illustrates exactly where the Tories hearts lie it is this. Rejecting a move to protect the environment & public health to protect the profits of their mates at the privatised water companies - trulyeviltories

Our sovereign power to lower our standards…

Which MP’s are shareholders of those water companies. RejoinEU make our waterways clean

marcuschown This really is repugnant from the government.

marcuschown Foxes in charge of the Henhouse.

They’ve already took the p1ss now they’re leaving the sh1t behind. bbcpm

If you didn't know it already, this govt really is full of **it and this decision does not bode well for this govt's hosting of COP26. Count on toxic Tories to legislate for Corps to drop their sh1t in our back yard! Another bottom line Brexit bonus for Corporations. Brexit

What is it with Tories and turds..?

Oh those pesky EU regulations which protected our safety/health .. are now gone thanks to Brexit .. so we can drown in our own shite

England is rapidly becoming a turd-world country

How can they do this?

OldWallerd Isn't this in contradiction to their green eco environmental policy or is it just about headline grabbing making money for their mates.?

The Opposition need to put the shareholders of the Water Companies on notice that they will,in the future, face uncompensated nationalization and the CEO's will face prosecution if their current polluting activities of the rivers and the sea are not stopped immediately.

Brexshit

Why should they? They make more profit if they can pump it straight into rivers and streams and the Conservatives MPs have their backs & backpockets covered

And this, my friends, is why they don’t want us to be able to see how they vote.

sajidjavid any comment on why it’s OK to fill our rivers with human waste? The dirty man of Europe is back, didn’t take long did it.

Going through the motions, as ever.

So not only do you have to listen to shit, you have to drink it and swim in it as well.

Brexshit

KentSeaSwimmers 😡

Great for their climate green plan… hypocrites!

How is this ok Why are DefraGovUK ok with it. Is george useless on twitter

So its okay to destroy the environment according to these MPs ?

A return to the 1970s when Britain was dubbed the ‘dirty man of Europe’.

I hope those numpties who voted these Tories in, remember how they have failed our country at next election.

British Conservative government. Yeah they are doing their best 😂😂😂😂

Whaaat?

It is so British... Idyllic English countryside is just to mask the reality of Brits polluting the world. UK is known for exporting waste to third world countries.

Brexshit

ProjectFear

What a wonderful clean country we live in. All for more profits for the water companies in return for donations (bribes) to the Tories.

Am I being cynical, treating sewerage properly would impact on the profits and share prices of the Water Companies and Tory Party Finances ?

Fancy a swim in uk seas Enjoy the raw sewage !!

Ell of course they are. If they didn’t that would take a spine and general need to make our country better.

Another Brexit bonus for BorisJohnson No need to enact those pesky EU sewage dumping and air pollution laws. And the people thought they were taking back control! 😹😹😹😹 (The British Establishment has taken back control)

Believe that is what they want the population to drink..😬

Some sh1t uplands

DohaScot I think you meant the Tories.

Tory Profit before Pollution.... timetogo ScottishIndependence4

Another win....

WTF

Why?

How do we have such a disastrous government?

FFS 🤬 whatever next!

didn't BorisJohnson describe the Conservatives as.. well.........

Remember when thanks to legal action from the EU and directives on bathing water our beaches were safe for swimming ..once

Will it take another event like the Great Stink of 1858 to make them reverse this ridiculous decision?

Tory MPs

BrokenBarnet

We will be throwing our own shit out the windows again soon. As ya shout “Mind ya head”

Can we call them all dirty bastards now?

Leveling up 😂

Not MP's, Tories. Try being brave and accurate in your headlines.

That is a crap decision

IMHO the HouseofCommons UKHouseofLords needs to explain how they can comply with spending public funds as no-one deserves to get sick from contaminated water. EnvAgency thameswater SouthernWater sajidjavid SadiqKhan sianberry BorisJohnson Keir_Starmer thatginamiller

I’m guessing, is that because they are shareholders?

They ought to really take onboard the criticism directed at them, particularly as it's the people who pay their salaries.
