Water companies in the UK, including Severn Trent, have been accused of illegally releasing sewage during a record heatwave. Thousands of sewage spills have been missed or misreported due to 'dodgy data,' as revealed by campaigner Prof Peter Hammond. This issue is expected to significantly bolster opposition parties' prospects, particularly in Liberal Democrat target seats. The scandal has also drawn international attention, with the Wall Street Journal highlighting how financial engineering has affected Britain's rivers.

Cheltenham: “While sewage alone will not determine voting behaviour, Ford said the issue was a fascinating electoral topic that was likely to significantly bolster opposition parties’ prospects in parts of the UK, predominantly in Lib Dem target seats.” https://t.co/5pXnts0YnG
