Is this a joke? Already this year energy companies have made £61 billion, so rising energy prices only increases their profits further. Regulators are supposed to protect us: they’ve proven to be pointless time and time again.

England's water companies lose 1 trillion litres of water a year to leaks. Dump sewage in rivers, have 1,135 criminal convictions Built no new reservoirs since 1989. Paid £85bn in dividends, have debt of £70bn One- third of the customer bills cover debt servicing. Govt is OK with privatisation.

So Keir Starmer's strategy on welfare cuts has essentially been to: 1) Fail to engage with Labour MPs before launching the policy 2) Ignore all warnings about a rebellion 3) U-Turn at the very last minute after the damage is done 4) Promise a new approach 5) Suspend the MPs anyway

I asked the Govt "how many criminal convictions have been secured by regulators against Southern Water since privatisation." The Minister won't answer (see link below). Between 1989 and 2024 SW had 119 convictions Does the Minister not know or doesn't want to put the data on parliamentary record?
