A Tory minister has claimed Boris Johnson is the first PM ever to tackle sewage spills - despite ordering MPs to vote against a “duty” to stop it.
Thousands were angry after heavy rain last week led to dozens of popular coastal spots having sewage pumped into their waters.
The stink grew when people re-shared details of a Commons vote on the issue from October 2021. Many shared Twitter messages shaming their local MP, saying they “voted to allow raw sewage to be dumped in our rivers”.
