ANOTHER LABOUR BLUNDER?

As many of our so-called regulators fail us, Starmer seems to want even less regulation

In 2023 OFWAT fined water companies how much money for slinging more and more sh*ye into our rivers and seas?

£2

That's TWO POUNDS in total

…by allowing neonicotinoid pesticides known to be harmful to bees & insects. The last govt gave emergency authorisation for use on sugar beet for last 4 years.
Where are all the insects?
