Water companies dump sewage, don't bear cost of cleaning.

Theft of the public purse.
Don't the Labour MP's get in the next election if voters want a tory austerity party they'll chose the real thing vs Starmer imitation of a tory austerity party?
No sense of electoral self preservation?
Brexit put an end to the EU keeping tabs on their weak efforts at overseeing standards.
The problem goes all the way to the top.
Governments for 4/5 years don't care about the environment.
Some things need to be done outside of government and not by banks.
They just use our money for fat bonuses profits and greedy levels of dividends that cripple the industry..
Or better still, simply have the regulator hold the companies to account in the first place. 🙂
