We’re stepping up scrutiny of underperforming water companies.
Today’s joint regulator report marks a significant step towards a more integrated, joined-up approach to water regulation, as part of our wider water reforms.
Here’s the action we’re taking: gov.uk/government/news/envir…

Absolute garbage - this is a technical change that happens when public sector pension contributions change. There’s no impact on defence spending power & the Tories used the same mechanism in govt. What does matter for defence spending? The chancellor, who has increased it
Big row potentially brewing on defence…
Tories alleging that Healey - the man of principle who quit over DIP - might actually be *cutting* defence spending
In the next two financial years, the budget for the MOD will be £1bn a year less than Rachel Reeves planned when the DIP was published in June.
The total departmental spending can be calculated from the Budget Red Book pages 145-147. When compared to the DIP settlement, the Tories claim it shows that Labour are cutting £1bn a year from the MOD budget for the next two years.
Why? It appears that they are forecast to spend less than expected on pensions. Rather than the MOD being allowed to reuse this Resource Department Expenditure Limit, the Treasury has kept it
Cartlidge: “This is a complete dereliction of duty from the Chancellor”
This Budget includes a strong package for the countryside, food security and economic growth: We're cutting fertiliser and food costs, making it cheaper to clear illegal waste sites, extending red diesel relief and reviewing tax relief for agricultural infrastructure
The 2026 Budget is here.
Supporting families.
Backing businesses.
Investing in Britain's future.
Strengthening our security.
