Martin Lewis perfectly summed up Thérèse Coffey’s questionable claims on the sewage crisis
As Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Thérèse Coffey is responsible for the state of England’s waterways – and with sewage spillages at a record high in modern times, they aren’t in the best of health.
She appeared on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg and faced a straight question. “Would you go for a swim in that kind of water?”
Laura Kuenssberg asks Coffey if she’d swim in our waters & is happy to let kids in it this summer
Therese Coffey can’t see a problem then calls the European Environment Agency liars on live TV when they say our waters are the worst in Europe.

Who to believe – the European Environment Agency and the footage of effluent pouring out of pipes onto beaches and into rivers …or the woman who blamed the UK’s poor Covid record on people being old and obese?
Tweeters didn’t take long to decide.
The minister for effluence calls the European Environment Agency liars on live TV when they say our waters are the worst in Europe.

Coffey is a chemical grade moron.
I was sat on a train passing the Humber yesterday and it was literally brown. https://t.co/1DQosHYYuL

But fellow guest, money expert and cost of living campaigner Martin Lewis summed up her response in the best way.

His comment went down a lot better than hers had.
Oh dear, so the Secretary of State for Environment Thérèse Coffey's interview didn't go according to plan then.
Not the first time. @MartinSLewis https://t.co/xElt67dvG4

I didn't think I could respect Lewis any more, but he just went up a notch. 👏

@MartinSLewis saying quite mildly what needs saying , it was an open goal 🥅 and to refuse would’ve been wrong

We’ll just leave this here.
Don't they talk crap regularly in every interview, speech, chat etc? https://t.co/OTWinyeSJV
