The issue of sewage pollution in British waterways, including Cornwall, has become a significant topic in the upcoming elections. Under the Conservative government, there has been a notable increase in illegal sewage dumping, leading to record levels of raw sewage in rivers and beaches. This has resulted in over 10,000 people being hospitalised due to waterborne diseases. The Labour Party has criticised the Conservatives for their inaction and has pledged to implement stringent measures to force water companies to clean up their act. Labour leader Keir Starmer has promised to hold law-breaking water bosses criminally accountable and put water companies under special measures. Labour is particularly focused on constituencies such as Truro, Falmouth, Camborne, Redruth, and Hayle.
It’s time for a Labour Government to clean up the Tory sewage scandal https://t.co/UDyLQNRDFa
It is sickening that the Tory sewage scandal has put over 10,000 people in hospital. It's time for change. Labour will put water companies under special measures and strengthen regulation to force them to clean up their act. https://t.co/kqWzllD5rS
It is a truth universally acknowledged that only Labour will clean up our waters. https://t.co/ASkGOTkQKU
The Tories have looked the other way while water companies have pumped a tidal wave of raw sewage into our waters. Britain needs change. My government will make law-breaking water bosses face criminal charges.
'Over the whole country, levels of raw sewage are at record highs and yet the Conservatives have let the water companies get away with this.' Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Steve Reid, outlines the 'tough special measures' for water bosses. https://t.co/wH5zPoS6h3

❌ Under the Tories, energy bills have soared, fuel poverty is rampant, and water companies are polluting our rivers. 🌳 Protecting our environment isn’t a nice to do, it’s essential to preserving our planet for future generations. 🌹 Only Labour has a plan to do just that. https://t.co/n80t1Pzz7p

The Conservatives have sat back and done nothing while waterways in Cornwall and across Britain have been polluted with sewage. A vote for Labour is a vote to clean up Britain’s water 🌊 Vote @JayneKirkham4 in Truro & Falmouth and @Perran4CRH in Camborne, Redruth and Hayle🌹 https://t.co/layPobvAj8
Our waterways are being polluted by illegal sewage dumping. The Conservatives have turned a blind eye and weakened rather than strengthened regulation. https://t.co/91ABuDtLHR
