​@@Holliethedog Brexit has little to do with the current economic situation. I've seen official economic analysis. The conclusion is that the Brexit effect still hasn't had an effect. Trade deals have ensured that whilst there was some disruption visible in some areas, the broader economy is untouched by Brexit. The majority of the West is currently in recession or slowdown. The issue is the lasting economic disruption from having to lockdown for so long and current events happening in the world.. and longterm UK complacency in sectors that have left UK exposed to them.

Hi, the companies were used as cash cows and loaded with debt to pay share holders. Now they need to put money in they are unwilling to do it. So Regulator, regulate. Force them to do the work or fine them to bankruptcy. At this point re nationalise at zero cost to the tax payer and with lower interest rates and no share holders do the modernisation and capital investment. Do not float it off when it is done but keep it and benefit from it. This has been caused by a light tough regulator not controlling the companies. Take care M.

The problem is the Tory party is structurally crazy these days. There are no "moderates" at all in the modern party, there is no internal ideological debate or discussion. In my view, organisations begin to fail, when there is only one way of seeing things that is tolerated. They don´t listen to other perspectives and they being to stumble and make errors. The Tory party is at this stage. Of course, it´s fair for a Conservative party to be broadly right wing, but it´s now the case that the only position tolerated is a very right wing one. There´s nobody calling for any form of moderate conservatism in the modern Tory party, there is no discussion or serious debate of ideas, i.e very few Tories are questioning the Rwanda scheme.

Re Water Companies : "Bad policy. Poor regulation." Some way MUST be found to oblige the water companies, their shareholders, their directors and the hedgefunds who mismanged them by loading them with debt to pay dividends and bonuses to pay to correct damage that they have done. Some way has to be found to make THESE crooks pay for the new investment required and NOT the long suffering , effectivly monopoliy dependent public. It is outrageous for water companies to say " We'll fix it but you will get higher bills to pay for it". WE HAVE paid but YOU greedy swindlers squandered the money. !!! What can the public do with their outrage ? Start a reviolution? Our outrage must be appeased by effective sanctions and fines and payments for cleaning up and increasing capacity imposed on the companies and all who have gained from this scandalous con.trick perpetrated by Tories. A GE would only be the start. Bleating that it has rained a lot in 2023 just will not do as an excuse. Climate change and increasing population are not unpredicted events.

And many of them thought she was great AFTER the loony budget (Toriegraph and Daily Fail refer). In fact many STILL think Liz Truss was great. Just read the pathetic attempts to rehabilitate the mad old cow recently.

Shareholders are concerned with dividends and share price. They are concerned with quality of service only so far as to convince customers not to leave for the competition but as water companies are local monopiles, that doesn't apply. They are concerned with debt only so far as interest payments affect dividends now and can sell to suckers if the future looks bad. Private companies only work in the customer's interest if the customer can easily walk away and go elsewhere. That's why you break up or tightly regulate private monopolies. How is this difficult to understand?
