Furious at colleague who doesn't pull their weight

The biggest issue you have is you threatened to leave and failed to follow through to counter offer.

You lost your ace, you can moan as much as you like untill you either stop doing the work or get another job what's the incentive for the company to make changes?

And that's where your problem lies. Whatever you've said so far, for whatever reasons, they are happy with her work. I expect because between the two of you, there are getting the outcome they need so no point from their perspective in changing the status quo.

You are completely right. When I've brought up the issue with my manager (above the line manager) he has told me "I'm happy with her work". All the technical stuff gets done (because I do it all) therefore management are getting the outcome they want.

I really do find it quite astonishing that my manager and line manager have both acknowledged how unhappy I am at the situation but won't tackle it. They must be banking on me not getting so fed up that I just throw in the towel and leave.

I am going to start looking around again for another job. Incidentally, at the interview I went to I stated my reason for leaving as "There isn't enough work to keep me occupied" - I never mentioned the problems with my colleague.

Thank you all for your input.

Are there any opportunities for promotion within your company that would be interested in? If so, maybe you could turn things around and instead of trying to put her down, focus on trying to get them to recognise that you deserve being considered for a higher position?
