Is no one at all interested in who owns out water companies, how they fund the loans and on what terms they took those loans? Surely some bright journo out there could use a career defining scandal to boost their standing? #bbc

Huw Edwards
The police say there's
No evidence of any criminal offence
Seems the "criminal" here is not Edwards
but Rupert Murdoch

It’s worth asking your local water company first, how much debt they have, then who is supplying the loans, and third what interest rate they are paying and was it market competitive at the time it was agreed. You might be very surprised by the answers…
Which music legends haven’t played Glastonbury’s legend slot but should play Glastonbury? Stevie Nicks? Eric Clapton? Iron Maiden? Thoughts?

I’m genuinely confused - how is any of this any good for the UK industry?
Am I missing something?

Once again.
WCs have a statutory obligation to build, operate and maintain sewage systems capable of "effectively dealing" with the "contents of those sewers". @Ofwat say we have provided all of the funding needed to do that.
Where's my money?

Deary me the water industry and its supporters have been busy this morning.
Riddle me this. Water companies have a statutory obligation to build, operate and maintain sewage systems capable of "effectually dealing" "with the contents of this sewers". @ofwat letter June 21 (1/2)

What are the “cost” implications to over spreading N nodules (into a water course too) versus other factors of “productivity”:
Tractor time & miles
Driver time

Major pollution incident on the Taff at Pontypridd.
A known reported problem over years, a main sewer finally bursts & now pours raw sewage, pharma, & PFAS into the river.
Negligence, ineptitude or bonus payments at stake? Anyone got a spare “what if” function?

If you want good quality affordable Bordeaux , you just have to drive around the appellation and visit little places and taste. A lot. Then you find some. But you also find a lot of dreadful wine too. Thought for the day.

Presumably @nadhimzahawi pays someone (accountants?) to complete his return… should they not also be under the spotlight?
