Since exiting the EU chemical regulation system, the UK has not restricted a single chemical substance. In that time, the EU has restricted or banned 10 harmful substances. But they have had a good long think about maybe possibly banning lead shot. www.sustainableviews.com/more-than-fo...

FOI to @EnvAgency on costs to date of their criminal investigation into illegal pollution discovered by @WindrushWasp and the answer is? £5.9M !!!!! How about that was used to regulate so they didn’t pollute? Novel!!

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry. That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827. Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems. Most people want to end the scandal.

Thames Water wants to be spared billions of pounds of costs and fines over the next 5 years. TW ripped off customers, dumped sewage in rivers, neglected investment, borrowed money to pay dividends. Laws must apply. No public bailout. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise for nominal sum.

Cunliffe Commission to improve the current system. John C on radio 4 The key he says is lining up incentives. Apparently investors have lost all their money. The solution is the regulatory system with more invt at regional level. Lack of strategy.

Lost opportunity “The Commission is seeking views on what has driven the deterioration in customers trust and what is needed to restore trust given that bills will need to increase to fund the required improvements in infrastructure.” not about Trust it’s about delivery. Bill rises not inevitable

Judge sets out that the alternative to the Plan A creditors is Special Administration, not the Plan B. This was all about money not about compliance with the law in terms of performance. Add that in and its time Ofwat and SteveReedMP you move to SAR.

So now what stopping @SteveReedMP as this judgment damning? Are you being bullied by international creditors with false claims that they are the UK growth saviours?

Judge rules that the only option to bailout is SAR. Gov need to apply for SAR (they haven't - they supported bailout) This judgement only about the £ which judge says will have long term effect on customers. Add in horrendous performance and the case for SAR has been made.

High Court ruling expected this week on whether Thames Water can borrow another £3bn at 9.75%. If allowed customer bills will rise, sewage dumping & dividends will continue. If not, bankruptcy looms. Govt wants to temporarily renationalise, then reprivatisatise. Wrong policy. archive.ph/OTgtH
