The gravy train continues.
Failed former CEO of Ofwat, David Black has reappeared at a consultancy company called BRG where he will "Advise firms and investors across regulated industries as they navigate shifting regulatory frameworks".
His boss? No less than former head of regulation at Thames Water one Colm Gibson.
As @PrivateEyeNews would say "Trebles all round". Well actually that's exactly what they did say. 👇👇👇
Yet another glaring example of how utterly failed the water industry is. All it took was one hot weekend and not one but two water companies have been brought to their knees, incapable of doing the most basic job possible, supplying their customers with water.
And we tolerate this nonsense.
Oh here we go again. @YorkshireWater claiming they are "INVESTING" £8.3 billion between 2025 - 2030.
That of course turns out to be completely untrue.
The only money I can see that shareholders are putting into the business is paying back the "loan" they took, by March 2027 and the £100 million they were supposed to pay to help reduce sewage dumping by the end of March 2025.
Every other damned penny of that £8.3 billion, that's £8.2 billion is being funded directly out of bill payers' pockets and not a damned thing to do with shareholders.
Why are water companies allowed to tell such utter lies?
Ofwat?
"‘They’re a private company, run for profit!’: fury in Kent at South East Water’s outages."
Cam someone please explain to me why South East Water are still in business, how they still have an operating licence and why the public are still be asked to put up with this nonsense?

@BellaJanella@BBCNews That's 2 jobs there that a good few years ago would've been available to others though, if you'd left the workforce at 60. I bet there's loads more like you, not saying it's wrong, but it contributes to lack of available jobs.
That’s right John. Since 1989, no major new reservoir has been built in England by privatised water companies.
Indeed, at least 35 reservoirs have been sold off since 2017.
Maybe even you can see it’s now time for public ownership?
ICYMI that’s not nationalisation.
Anyone care to venture a guess as to Farage's next excuse for 'accidentally' accepting a £5M donation and 'accidentally' forgetting to declare it?
It seems to me that the Russian spear phishing attack line, is only going to draw further scrutiny.
Like, why did he never report this to the security services?
The reason is clear of course, like his invented home firebombing, it is a lie.
A massive, whopping porky pie.
Bromley police called him out about the supposed arson attempt; they said that an attempted burglary had been reported but with no damage or loss. There was no mention of fire until it became convenient for Farage.
Now he's claiming that he's been the victim of a personal cyberattack, but nothing was stolen except some information about a £5m payment from Christopher Harborne.
The two stories are awfully similar in construction.
Questions. Firstly, how does Farage know, for certain, that it was Russia? Secondly, why was it not reported to the security services?
It seems to me that he is flailing because he knows he's been caught. I proved, definitively, last week that he and Yusuf had previously lied about the reasons for the donation.
Now he's scrambling all over the place trying to create yet another counterfactual for the source of the leak.
In my humble opinion, on a beautiful bank holiday Monday, this attempt to deceive could be his last hoorah.
He thinks that by creating a web of deceit, that it's untangleable [sic], but he's not that smart. All he's doing is creating a trail of breadcrumbs that will lead us to his inevitable tantrum and storming out of Reform UK.
Enjoy the sunshine today, and if you're at work, take it easy. 😁
Look, it's perfectly simple. I wasn't going to become an MP, then I was given £5 million and I coincidentally decided to run for Parliament. I then bought a house for £1.4m cash after saying I was "skint" and my girlfriend bought a house for £885,000 with money she didn't have and which I originally said I had bought. The gift was totally unconditional, as well as being for security and then it was a reward for Brexit. Nobody should have known about it, but the Russians hacked my phone, according to 'counter-espionage experts' who don't exist. See?
Why is renationalising water not even being discussed by the present government? Even though nobody's sure who the government is.

Nigel Farage in 2017 “53, separated, skint.”
Nigel Farage in May 2024 buys a £1.4 million house with cash shortly after receiving a gift that he says was for his security.

@virginmedia Signed up for updates on the TV outage (into 2nd day now). Absolutely ZERO emails..not even one! Hope there's plenty of compensation for loss of service
@SkyNews@SamCoatesSky Stop all this media frenzy! All the media are going crazy, there must be some actual news stories that you can report on. Same goes for @BBCNews as well. Give it a break!
@SkyNews@BethRigby Labour voters said they voted Reform to get Starmer out. Why carry on feeding Farage's ego by capitulating? How about putting all your energy into running the country
