Looks like the Tories have just made sure Ofwat has no teeth at all, can't be allowed to fine naughty companies think of the shareholders and profits!

Labour voted with the tories

Yes this.

 

[BeanBeany]

Ofwat have been either asleep at the wheel or powerless or both for years absolutely disgraceful the way water companies have been allowed to operate

 

[h_m_boro]

Any regulatory body starting with "Of" is absolutely fooking incompetent and not fit for purpose. Do not serve the people they are supposed to.

Be very, very interesting to see if/when Labour get into No 10

A. What they do (if anything) and
B. If any "stories"start to emerge regarding government influence circa 2010-2024.

The reasoning was it would have passed anyway and it stops the tories using any "anti growth" claims against them.
