“Strict new rules” that will inevitably fall onto the average person and not to huge enterprises’ practices before it “shockingly” fails.
How about zero?
All I read from this headline is labour permits companies to maintain some destruction of the environment
Presumably by scrapping OFWAT and replacing it with their mates who’ll find a clean river somewhere and monitor that extensively and then proclaim, “from data gathered from over 1347 water pollution sampling stations we can confirm that recorded pollution is down by 89.4% on the previous year”
Ou well thank fuck they’ll only let them dump *half* as much sewage.
Another big win for Starmer!

To do the one thing that would allow them to do it.
That is a good vow. If i didn’t know labour’s principles, I’d be optimistic.
Labour will let us have a little bit of environment as a treat.
How about zero. Without the fines coming back on the bill payer – something like water companies fines need to be taken out of senior leaders pay/bonus. Better yet, nationalise water as a key infrastructure vital for national security.
Clean up the streets first, then worry about the rivers. The shit there is more alarming at this point
Good luck with that. You don’t think that the EA hasn’t been doing that already?
Our local river was one of the most polluted in the country 100 years ago we now have fish and crayfish in it
Over that last 5 years Yorkshire water has dumped god knows what in the river again
One of these days I’d love a government to just say they’re going to improve something. None of this radical “cleanest on record” shite.
We’re not asking for much, we’re just asking for things to be better. Stop giving us sales pitches and start giving us actual results of something better than we currently have.
Good start but why not nationalise the failing water companies already? These private water companies:
– Are billions in debt
– Have not built a new reservoir since 1992 and do not maintain water infrastructure to acceptable standards
– Use emergency loans to pay bonuses
– Release so much sewage that three quarters of UK rivers pose a serious risk to human health
– Increased water bills by £100 a year within a single year
£78 billion has been paid in dividends since privatisation, that could be used to build reservoirs, fix the sewage issues, fix the leaky pipes and lower bills.
England and Wales are the only countries to have a fully privatised water and sewage systems, there is a reason for that – it doesn’t work.
With all the above issues, climate change and increasing periods of drought it is essential that water is brought into public ownership and honestly it’s a national scandal it was privatised in the first place.
I’m not labour but if they can fix our water I’ll take my hat off to em, disagree with most other shit they do. No pun intended.
Why cant we just hold the water companies dumping sewage in the rivers to account?
At a cost to us, while decades of profits being siphoned off and nowhere near enough maintenance and investment being made, is quietly forgotten about. 😡
Yet here in Scotland our rivers lochs etc. are fine…🤔
How bad is this government that “were gonna make our rivers the cleanest by only allowing half the shit that’s floating in it now” a good news story.
