“The absolute greed... I cannot believe it!”

@goodlawproject.org on the news that Thames Water’s creditors are asking to be let off sewage dumping fines for up to 15 years: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/02/thames-water-lenders-submit-new-rescue-plan-to-stave-off-collapse

Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040

"For the next 15 years, give us a subsidy from public money, and remove the disincentive for us to stop dumping raw sewage, so our creditors are rescued from the consequences of their own greed" is not, I have to say, the world's most appealing pitch. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

As Tories vow to scrap ‘failed targets’, how do their climate claims stack up? We fact check Kemi Badenoch and her party after she promised to repeal Climate Change Act if they win power

Kemi Badenoch wants pretend that her opposition to climate targets is based in facts, not culture war reasons.

She’ll need a better grasp of the facts, though – this is a comprehensive debunking from @fionaharvey.bsky.social:

The PPE scandal is far from over | Good Law Project The Tory VIP lane was a high road to cronyism, says Henry Marsh.

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government.

Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums.

Only a few years ago, Kent’s approach looked very different. Matthew Scott, our police and crime commissioner, set out a plan based on reality. His report showed that most violence happens in the home, not on the streets. And he built a strategy to address it around four pillars: prevention, engagement, the victim’s journey, and rehabilitation. That serious, practical work has now been pushed aside in favour of fearmongering and scapegoating.

Sara Fox, the founder of Canterbury Women’s March, sees a lot of Reform’s posturing around women’s safety at Kent County Council.

And it seems like posturing’s all they’ve got:

While we were kept apart from our loved ones and feared for our families, the Conservatives partied in Downing Street and dished out contracts to their friends and to their donors. We are still paying the bill for their waste and their cronyism. So I’m pleased to tell you that, thanks to our covid corruption commissioner, almost £400 million has now been recovered for taxpayers that had been lost to covid fraud. And we will continue that fight to recover more from those PPE contracts which failed to deliver. But we won’t stop there.

We’d very much like to know more about this, from Rachel Reeves today 👀
