UK water watchdog woos investors with β€˜guaranteed revenues’ as it seeks Β£50bn Funds are needed to back projects to improve Britain’s crumbling water infrastructure

Ofwat/Govt promised this to England's water company investors.

β€œright to collect” revenues from customers, β€œopportunities for upside”, β€œcapped liabilities” and β€œinvestment positive” ... β€œno exposure to competitive or market stranding risks”

This is a licence to fleece people.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

A fair price to the public for water nationalisation | Letter Letter: The government is wrong on the cost of bringing water back into public ownership, write Prof Becky Malby, Dr Kate Bayliss, Prof Frances Cleaver and Prof Ewan McGaughey

UK govt is wrong on the cost of bringing England's water back into public ownership.

Its Β£100bn number has no economic/legal basis.

The cost of public ownership is "closer to zero".

Companies are bankrupt, their shareholders and lenders have already extracted billions.

Regulator examines Β£1.3m paid to Yorkshire Water boss via offshore parent company Sums given to Nicola Shaw will need to comply with rules that ban bonuses for chief executives

England water regulator examines Β£1.3m paid to Yorkshire Water CEO via offshore parent company.

Did OFWAT not know/ask? What was govt doing whilst YW circumvented exec bonus rules?

These cat-and-mouse games will continue until water is nationalised. Empower customers to vote on exec pay.

Farage will be worse than Truss.
Very clever people are struggling to manage capital, as seen in the US, if you push them away, chaos ensues.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
