Donโ€™t take us for fools, @Keir_Starmer. These reforms are just putting lipstick on a pig. Let water companies profit at our expense and you risk losing public trust and the confidence of your own MPs. https://t.co/UFAvHKTn0K Comment from @gilesbristow in @standardnews today

Ignore the Government spin. The recommendations of the Cunliffe Review are simply putting lipstick on a pig and fall pitifully short of the radical reform thatโ€™s needed to end the sewage scandal. So,...

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’ท Yet again, the public is paying the price for years of woeful mismanagement of water companies that pollute in the name of greed. For Water UK to claim that the water industry isn't 'awash with cash' is totally laughable. For years, millions of pounds have been funnelled to

Wow! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿค‘That reads less like enforcement and more like a classic regulatory sleight of hand. Tough talk on pollution, but plenty of wiggle room for Thames Waterโ€™s bosses and shareholders to carry on unbothered. https://t.co/afuBKCvz5B No wonder you're getting scrapped @Ofwat

๐ŸคฎOver 6,000 dry spills in January and February- this is totally unacceptable. After lifting the lid on dry weather sewage dumping in 2022 you'd expect that three years on, changes would have been made. Think again. Water companies know the law, they break it anyway. Why?
