UK government earmarks another £104 billion to advance state control – this time of the water supply – all part of the grand master plan that will double the UK’s 3 trillion national debt by 2035
Labour proves yet again that any idiot can be in the government – the money does not exist -it’s somebody else’s
PETER HALLIGAN
From Brave AI:
“The UK government is proposing a comprehensive overhaul of the water sector in England, centered on the recently published Water White Paper titled A New Vision for Water. Key reforms include:
· Creation of a single, integrated water regulator to replace the current fragmented system involving Ofwat, the Environment Agency, Natural England, and the Drinking Water Inspectorate. This new body will unify economic, environmental, and public health oversight to improve accountability and coordination.
· Mandatory Pollution Incident Reduction Plans (PIRPs), requiring water companies to publish annual plans detailing actions to reduce pollution. These plans must identify root causes of incidents and will be subject to public scrutiny, with failure to comply becoming a criminal offence. Implementation Reports will be required from 2027 to track progress.
· Proactive infrastructure checks, including MOT-style health assessments for water systems to prevent failures like recent water shortages in Kent and Sussex. A new chief engineer role will oversee hands-on inspections.
· Long-term strategic planning through a new 25-year National Water Strategy and two core planning frameworks—one for water supply and one for the water environment—replacing overlapping existing plans.
· Enhanced consumer protections, including the establishment of a new water ombudsman with legal authority to resolve disputes and enforce compensation.
· Reforms to financial incentives and investment, including indicative 10- and 25-year funding horizons, rationalization of the incentive framework, and exploration of green finance instruments like green bonds.
· A ban on bonuses for executives of underperforming water companies and a shift toward a supervisory regulatory model focused on company-specific performance rather than benchmarking.
These reforms are part of a broader transition plan expected to lead to a future Water Reform Bill, with implementation targeted before the next general election.
The “white paper is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-new-vision-for-water-white-paper
here’s a few snippets:
“The White Paper places emphasis on the scale of investment required to maintain and upgrade water infrastructure in England.
It references the £104 billion investment programme for England for the 2025–2030 period and cites estimates of substantially higher investment needs over the coming decades to maintain resilience and meet future demand.”
“The White Paper follows the Independent Water Commission, chaired by Sir Jon Cunliffe, and reflects the government’s assessment that existing arrangements in England have not provided sufficient clarity, stability or alignment across regulation, environmental protection, customer outcomes and long-term investment. It sets out areas where government intends to intervene, alongside measures it proposes to develop further through a future Transition Plan and primary legislation.
There is another “transition” will need to occur – the transition from bureaucratic “socialist “language into the practicalities of the real world.
£104 billion “investment program over the next 5 years with “substantially” higher investment needs over the coming decades? – how much is substantial? A extra £100 billion? – 250 billion?
Defence spending is slated to be accumulate to over a trillion pounds by 2035
“net zero” spending is slated to cost at least another trillion pounds a year by 2035 from electricity bills ad taxes
A million “green” houses are slated to be built by 2029 – costing at least 500,000 pounds each for another half a trillion pounds.
There looks to be spending of at least 3 trillion pounds by 2035 – doubling the current national debt in ten years. Any idiot ca spend money, spending it wisely is beyond the juvenile focus group policies of the closet Marxists in this Labour government.
Brits will just have to watch the nightmare evolve.
Remember socialism is the antithesis of freedom and this government is deeply socialist.
Onwards!
