30/6/2019 07:20 | Utilities The Observer view on the water industry being unfit to face the challenge of global heating Observer editorial If the private sector cannot develop a water system fit for a dry future it could be time to reconsider the business model Sun 30 Jun 2019 06.00 BST Clean water at a fair price is something the privatised industry constantly fails to provide Photograph: John Stillwell/PA A smelly sewage works in Southampton was the least of Southern Water’s misdemeanours. Almost all of the record-breaking £126m fine imposed on the company last week by Ofwat, its regulator, was attributed to the dirty, untreated water that flowed from the taps of as many as 4.3 million residents. Southern’s managers, who covered up leaks at treatment plants from Kent to Hampshire, are a gift for those who believe it is time to end a 30-year experiment in privatisation and take all the water companies into public ownership. Until now, campaigners have focused on the raw deal given to customers, who must pay through the nose to a private monopoly provider. Loaded with debt by their owners, the water companies must use most of their income to pay the interest, while the rest is paid out of profits to shareholders. Deteriorating networks are maintained to the very minimum insisted on by the regulator. Clean water at a fair price is something the privatised industry constantly fails to provide. Now that Europe is sweltering in record-breaking heat, a second front is opening up against the water companies. And this centres on the investment needed, not just to replace leaking pipes but to support efforts to tackle the climate emergency. Even in Britain, water is becoming a scarce resource. In the torrential storms that have become increasingly prevalent, the water runs off the land, into rivers, rages through town centres and out to sea. Parts of the country need more reservoirs, which means giving over land near cities that might otherwise be farmed, left fallow for wildlife or used for some form of development. Where aquifers are running dry due to overextraction, public bodies need to decide on the priorities, juggling the competing demands of farmers, local businesses and households. ‘Even in Britain, water is becoming a scarce resource.’ Polluted rivers must be cleaned up and that can only come about when there is more pressure on farmers to stop putting so much nitrogen and phosphorous on the land. Treatment plants must be upgraded, as Southern Water will need to do. The World Wildlife Fund found that 40% of rivers in England and Wales were polluted with sewage in 2017, mostly from overflows following heavy rain that existing plants failed to process. Overflows are allowed under the current regime if they are exceptional. The WWF report says that 8%-14% of the 18,000 overflows it examined over a nine-month period spilled sewage into rivers at least once a week, and between a third and a half at least once a month. A separate study by Manchester University found that the river Tame at Denton, to the east of the city, ranked as the worst in the world for microplastics. We know others might be worse, we just haven’t tested them yet. The fund managers who dominate ownership of the UK’s water companies have no interest in collaborating to develop a water system fit for a dry future. And they will say that micro-plastics were not put in the water by them, so why should they pay for the clean-up. Equally, why should public bodies use their precious resources to facilitate an upgrade of the system when profit-hungry investors are one of the main beneficiaries? The government cannot sit still while the finger-pointing and blame-shifting prevent more than slow progress. Why should households and businesses, all of them taxpayers, be asked to save water when the utilities’ managers and international owners do little more than count their bonuses? The same could be said of the energy industry, which must also be at the heart of reforms towards a low carbon future but is largely in private sector hands. Dŵr Cymru (Welsh Water) is a not-for-profit business that is busily repaying debts from its previous life as a profit generator while also improving the network. It is not the only model for change, but it’s a good start. | ![]() the grumpy old men | |

29/6/2019 23:45 | Boris Johnson to set up Brexit 'war cabinet' to force through Britain's EU departure in 100 days Christopher Hope, chief political correspondent Camilla Tominey, associate editor 29 JUNE 2019 • 9:30PM Boris Johnson is forming a Brexit 'war Cabinet' to force through Britain's departure from the European Union in his first 100 days in office, the Telegraph can disclose. The "crack team" - as one source described it - would comprise a tightly-knit unit of senior ministers and advisers charged with mapping out and tackling every possible obstacle on the way to Britain exiting on October 31. It would then report back to the broader cabinet, which itself will be comprised entirely of ministers who signed up to Mr Johnson's deadline. The real story is in the comment section: Full on remainer chimp heaven. Talk about desperation :-) | ![]() maxk | |

29/6/2019 21:40 | OBSERVATIONS No taxation without representation The fundamental democratic concept of “no taxation without representation” Under Mrs May’s surrender treaty the British people would have had no representation whatsoever, but plenty of taxation. It would be interesting to know what Americans would think if this were explained to them. Indeed, we suspect that a sizeable proportion of the British people are also unaware of the full import of the so-called Withdrawal Agreement. In the end May’s ‘deal’ was voted down three times by the House of Commons and should be declared as officially dead by all protagonists – and especially the two Conservative leadership contenders. In the next two articles we will focus on two forms of trading arrangements between the UK and the EU which could be possible without a divorce deal imposed by the EU.

29/6/2019 20:37 | BrexitCentral June 27, 2019 Why the Eurozone’s fate makes an immediate Brexit vital The huge financial liabilities associated with EU membership require a quick clean Brexit. From research using publicly available figures, I have prepared a 40-page report published today by Global Britain that demonstrates the huge financial risk that the UK Government has thus far ignored in its efforts to deliver the EU’s Withdrawal Agreement that keeps Britain still on the hook. Never mind the £39 billion divorce bill, it is practically petty cash compared to the UK’s maximum possible liability now of €207 billion that could be escalated to €441 billion – or even more if our exit is drawn out into the period of the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework. The Eurozone financial system is teetering on the edge of a renewed crisis but, unlike the one in 2013/14, this one can only be solved by the large and solvent EU Member States borrowing themselves and paying to reduce the liabilities of others. To avoid this scenario the UK needs to both leave the EU and sever its contractual connections with the EU in order not to be caught up in this “re-set” Economy Euro OpinionTags: Bob Lyddon, debt, Debt-to-GDP ratios, European Central Bank, Eurozone, Financial markets, Fiscal Stability Treaty, Global Britain, Withdrawal Agreement Copyright BrexitCentral 2019 Privacy Policy Contact Us | ![]() xxxxxy | |

29/6/2019 19:59 | No point in saying more about Brexit - smarty doesn't listen and doesn't appear to understand the difference between trade deals and an FTA or GATT24. I shall desist from any further comment on Brexit not directly related to Lloyds. I apologise for rising to the bait... Lloyds is in my portfolio as a good-performing bank, and a solid yielder with good chance of a capital gain once all the mis-selling is out of the way (assuming that happens! :-)). Being a simple, boring bank now, there appears to be far less to go wrong. Brexit looks a low risk element. They have reaffirmed guidance in spite of Brexit uncertainties in May, and have made no mention of provisions against any particular outcome. | ![]() edmundshaw |
