They're monitoring more, and better. The total duration hours of monitored spill events between 2016 and 2020 goes up by a factor of 30, which seems quite extreme. There has been more monitors installed too, so you'd expect the base rate to climb to a certain extent. Then it gets more complicated, which is why it's handy to read the accompanying notes in the media that's watching, like the surfer collective and Grauniad. These VT threads don't slice so easily anymore. In this case because we've got changes from the wonky weather now, plus a shortage of public funds after being robbed and crashed. We are getting more problem patterns of rain. Existing flood measures are inadequate and are getting overwhelmed more often. Money that would have paid for gradual improvement has been paid out as dividends. Money for works at regional level to absorb more rain locally, rather than enter the waterways (ie less paving more grass) has been spaffed. Tory Brexit problems are multiple pile ups now. Clusterfails.

Russia and the UK have the same problems. Corrupt ruling administrations. Both countries have been utterly rinsed.

You might check out Mike's suggestion? 'Ahead Rings Out' is actually cool.

When he's not selling gum this chap reviews sources from both sides, evaluates the data and keeps it simple. I like him. Being called 'Combat Veteran Reacts' will attract some nutty MAGA gun types, and I think he's probably good for them? There's no glory or glamour and he tries to be apolitical, but has called out what he's seen as failures in supporting Ukraine. We know who's responsible for that?

Should Labour gain office, Tory Brexit stock may continue to fall? How we signed contracts with Huawei for our national infrastructure, AFTER the Australians found them to be spying? How did we get a faulty Chinese nuclear power station? Russia all over Tories and Brexit ringleaders. MI6's angry response to Tory peer Lebedev in the Lords. The Brexit PM slipping his own security to attend a party at KGB Towers. How a Russian company obtained the contract for the Downing St media suite?

The shit sandwiches just keep coming for the (wo)man on the street. So it might be starting to sink in now? Up to this point, dismal critical thinking and woeful prescience in the electorate.
