    Heartbreaking. 💔 The government has rejected proposals to protect England’s chalk streams. The UK is home to 85% of the world’s chalk streams, rare, precious ecosystems found almost nowhere else on Earth. These rivers are our nation’s rainforest, crystal-clear lifelines for

    The River Wye can’t take much more of this 💩💩 On a day when our rivers face grave threats from govt plans to ditch river pollution rules, we investigate how the government's abandonment of critical environmental regulations is killing one of the nation's favourite rivers. 🧵

    🚨 BREAKING NEWS! 🚨 ❌☔ Despite barely a drop of rain in the past 3 weeks, the stretch of River Thames to be used for this weekend's Boat Race fails to meet even the lowest legal bathing standards. This isn’t a sewage overflow issue — it’s a systemic failure by Thames Water.

    River Action is urging the PM @trussliz to take immediate action to tackle the appalling state of our rivers. Every single English river is polluted beyond legal limits, our wildlife is disappearing & we can’t swim in our own waterways. Why is this?🧵👇 riveractionuk.com/news/river-act…
