THE Tory sewage scandal “continues to sully rivers, lakes, seas, and beaches with raw human waste,” Labour warned today as its analysis of official figures reveals waterway dumping is at record highs.

Environment Agency (EA) data shows that in just the last seven years, private utility firms have pumped a staggering 1,276 years’ worth of raw human waste into the country’s waters. 

The total, which Labour slammed as a “damning indictment of 13 years of Tory governments,” suggests untreated sewage is dumped every two-and-a-half minutes — a total of 11,182,276 hours since 2016.
