Reform UK have been caught lying again to a pub to put a stall outside it. This time they said they were a charity raising awareness and fundraising.

When the lie was rumbled they were told to pack up.

He lost an election and pretended it didn’t happen.
He turned the Smithsonian into his personal fan fiction museum.
He fired the top numbers guy because facts made him sad.

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.

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.
