Work is promising to reduce sewage leaks – but is it a load of garbage?

Steve Reed tried to make a sensation for a sensation this morning by promising unauthorized wastewater leaves on waterways within five years.

“I am an absolute commitment and I am obliged to deliver it,” he said and argued that his job as the Environment Minister should “be at stake”.

He claimed that this was halfway to the goal of Labor to eliminate it as a whole within a decade, and announced private investments of £ 104 billion to tackle the problem.

The government says this is the first time that Minister has set a clear goal for reducing wastewater pollution, which has shot up in recent years despite public outrage.

Labor also wants to cut phosphorus, which causes harmful algae flowers by 2028.

So Reed stuck to his promise to leave the role if he did not achieve these self -imposed goals.

“Politicians come here and say we will do things. Of course, our jobs should be at stake when we don't,” Reed told BBC.

After a great commitment from a high -ranking minister who offered to finally remedy the problem of pollating our waterways.

But as the BBC presenter Laura Kuensberg emphasized, the ministers had promised to solve the problem for years – and promise to halve the leaks, the number is only due to the levels observed in 2019.

The Guardian found that water companies in England had launched raw water in rivers more than 200,000 times this year.

In the past six years there have also been six different surrounding secretaries (which the offer of Reed, in view of the sales, rather reduced).

While five of these ministers were conservative MPs, workers have been in power for a year – and the environmental authority found that 60% rose by 60% in England last year.

Serivating ministers repeatedly promise to reduce waste in our waterways, but these vows clearly have no effects because wastewater pollution continues to rise.

No wonder that the head of the Lib called the youngest vows of Labor to implement empty promise.

He said: “We have to see far more ambition from this government with an end to the wastewater in bathing waters by 2030.”

Reed's promise came shortly before the publication of the Independent Water Commission, which will be published on Monday – and can advise WAT's state scrap water regulatory authority as a whole.

But Davey warned: “This report must not be used as an excuse to get the can with immediate reforms.

“We now have to see measures, including the replacement of OFWAT by a hard new regulatory authority, to end this national scandal.

“Water companies have paid millions of dividends and bonuses for years. It would be deeply unfair if customers were now made to collect the tab for this scandal through higher bills.”

In the meantime, the Tory Shadow secretary welcomed plans for the increase in Kevin Hollinrake Reeds, but compared them to “mixture of cover chairs on the Titanic”.

“It is really important that regulation is effective,” he said. “We have taken many measures to give more powers to regulate the water industry. And the amount of these things were very effective, but there is still much more to do.

“I welcome what was announced today.

“All of these things are possible because the measures we took but clearly have to be done more.”

The Leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, had a more radical proposal and said that the workers should let the water companies “broke” so that the shareholders “lose their entire money”.

He said to Sky News: “We need new investments, a complete new capitalization and we have to accept that the bills will increase. I don't see any other way.”

In any case, it is a clear patience that the work for work will work out to take measures – and our rivers are only dirty every day …
