More waste dumped on giant illegal site owned by King Charles – exclusive Channel 4 News can exclusively reveal there's been renewed activity at the giant illegal waste site in Wigan on land owned by King Charles.

The King needs make a gesture, pay for the clean-up. Duchy lands make £££s every year-it's not his fault the illegal tip is there, but when cash is not tight, he should take the rough with the smooth profits the Duchy normally delivers!

#RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Britain should be there in the room for this, at the head table, helping to shape our continent's future. But instead, all those Brexiters and refuseniks who refuse to accept reality have us watching from the sidelines 😡

"You walk into the room like a camel, and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law against you comin' around
