Did Sunak learn absolutely nothing from the Lee Anderson debacle? Seems not given he's just made Jonathan Gullis deputy chair of the Tory party. At what point do we have to take the keys off him as he's clearly too pissed to drive.

It's quite concerning that both Gullis and Clarke-Smith were once tasked with shaping young minds whilst both clearly being strawberry floating morons.
Rowers taking part in the 2024 Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge in London are among those that have been told not to enter the Thames after high levels of E. coli were found.
Crews have also been warned to cover blisters, and wear footwear when getting in and out of the boat. Pressure group River Action said tests indicated the bacteria came from sewage directly discharged into the river.
Thames Water said improving river health was a "key focus" for the firm.
Thames Water is in a race to find extra cash after its investors said they would not give the struggling water giant extra cash unless bills rise.
The UK's largest water firm has been pushing for the regulator Ofwat to agree to a substantial increase in water bills over the next five years. Sources close to Ofwat say it plans to "stick to its guns" and won't raise bills to address shareholder problems. Fears emerged last year that Thames could collapse due to its huge debts. The owners' drew up a turnaround plan last summer which asked for a 40% rise in bills over the next five years. But it is now thought that the shareholders may want to see even higher bill rises as a condition of injecting more money. Investors were due to pump in almost £4bn into the business over the next two years, but have withheld the first payment - due at the end of March - saying its turnaround plan is "uninvestible".

Greedy banana splits deserve to have the company collapse. Ofwat had better not give in to their threats.
They were going to raise the bills by 40% and that wasn't even enough? These shareholders don't understand anything, they want short term profit without thinking the longer term. Nobodies going to be able to afford their bills.
