Investigation after 57 world triathlon championship swimmers fall sick and get diarrhea in Sunderland race An Environment Agency sampling at Roker Beach on Wednesday, 26 July, three days before the event, showed 3,900 E Coli colonies per 100ml, more than 39 times higher than typical readings the previous month. E coli is a bacterial infection that can cause stomach pain and bloody diarrhea.
After years of Tory misrule, the opinion of the British public seems clear:
We’ve had enough.And with good reason. For over a decade, the Conservatives have ransacked the country they claim to love, unmooring it from its foundations and enriching their chums. While the wealth of the very richest rocketed, the party’s program of austerity, begun by David Cameron in 2010 and continued by each Conservative prime minister since, starved public services, created one of the most miserly welfare states in the developed world and contributed to the longest period of wage stagnation — for many, wage regression — since the Napoleonic Wars. Life expectancy is down, child poverty is up, and there are few signs of a reprieve on the horizon. Life under the Tories has become poorer, nastier, more brutish and shorter.

Jolly welcome to see @edwardlucas raising #Brexit 🐘 issue.
However, IMV raising the excuse that not mentioning Brexit wins by-elections is merely dishonest and cowardly populism.

Murdoch and Farage at Lebedev’s garden party shortly after the referendum.
How could anyone have been so deluded to think these guys cared about ‘ordinary people’?

This was the ‘#Brexit Contract’ from Vote Leave, 10 promises to the voters of the UK.
NOT ONE of these promises has been kept. Not even close.
Leave voters, you were lied to.

Note how that Prigozhin’s strategy of stoking Islamophobia and fear of immigration during the Brexit referendum (though nothing to do with the EU) neatly allied with the ‘Turning Point’ and ‘Turkey is Coming’ messages from the two Leave Campaigns https://t.co/srJ1keyxiP pic.twitter.com/om8CNXTiwJ

Given what Russia is doing to the world, now we know the facts about Boris Johnson’s alarming over-ruling of our security services, #Brexit must be revisited.
What do you call someone who defies their own country’s security services to deliver for a rogue state 🇷🇺?…

The head of MI6’s Russia desk said: “As an intelligence professional, I’m flabbergasted that a serving government minister would even consider spending a weekend in Italy in the castle that was owned by a former KGB officer who’d worked against the UK.” https://t.co/LsUKtEk8aI

Congratulations to this man, who’s just been officially recognised by the Guinness World Records for the longest pause of all time while trying to think of some Brexit benefits. 🙌🏻 pic.twitter.com/uYJN6ZTsen

Impressive figure… and very indicative of the country’s mood.
Brexit had failed everyone.
Time to rejoin !

#Brexit dividend for Ireland! Ireland assumes UK’s role as US gateway to EU. Brexit benefits are clear. Irish economy will grow 6% next year while UK will shrink 0.2%! GDP per head now twice UK’s.
Ireland owes thanks to @Conservatives. @BBCr4today https://t.co/PyfzQONshz
