England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.

Under John Swinney, the SNP has made eradicating child poverty its top priority. Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is expected to fall as a direct result of SNP policies. All we are getting from the UK Labour government on the cruel two-child cap is more empty rhetoric.

Not main point but very revealing that Laura Kuenssberg keeps on talking about the "child benefit cap" in tax credits (it's Universal Credit, and has been for most claimants for some time). Reflects both very poor briefing and her complete ignorance of the topics she asks questions about..
