The roll call of shame : The Tory MP's who voted to allow sewage to be discharged into our seas and rivers.

 

On Wednesday (20 October), 265 MPs shamefully voted with the Government  to reject an attempt by the House of Lords to toughen up the approach to the discharge of sewage, with 22 Conservative MPs rebelling and voting against the Government. 

 Lords Amendment 45 to the Environment Bill would have placed a legal duty on water companies in England and Wales to make improvements to their sewerage systems and demonstrate progressive reductions in the harm caused by discharges of untreated sewage.

This then meant that water treatment companies could continue to dump sewage into  our waterways.Water companies discharged raw sewage into rivers in England more than 400,000 times last year and for more than three million hours, according to figures published by the Environment Agency.

Swimmers are currently being warned  to avoid at least 60 Uk beaches as water companies are pumping raw swage into the seas with the southwest and south coast being the worst affected.

Campaign group Surfers Against Sewage  have created an interactive map which shows that popular locations such as Great Yarmouth,  New Quay and Bognor Regis have all been impacted just as families begin to enjoy their summer holidays. https://www.sas.org.uk/map/ 

I always viewed conservatism as the politics of the sewer, but I didn't ever expect it to be so literal.  We need public ownership of our water now.

Our beautiful rivers and coastline ruined by sewage pollution , terrifying bills. Low pay. Raging inequality. Soaring inflation. NHS on its knees, Social and care justice system too. Strikes .Transport hell. Price hikes. Food banks without food, 2/3 of households forecast to be in fuel poverty by January. Thanks Tories for this total hellscape. The Tories are both literally and metaphorically showering us all with shit. The vilest most hated Government in modern history. Time to flush them away!

Here is a list of all the Tory MPs who voted to allow water companies to  discharge raw sewage into seas and rivers. Many pf whom are now getting all hufty after being called out for voting the way they did , getting cross with us for minding about their abject negligence. Exactly  what does  it take for these people to say sorry. The Tories are both literally and metaphorically showering us all with shit. The vilest most hated Government in modern history. Time to flush them away!  .
