RT by @carolinevoaden: "Ofwat’s scheme to fine poorly performing companies ‘a gimmick’."
It is exactly that, a gimmick. Did I mention for 30 years @Ofwat has had the power to ban bonuses, dividends and that debt mountain?
And it's done what exactly? Yep, nothing!
GIMMICK!

RT by @carolinevoaden: Liberal Democrats have been calling for a ban on water boss bonuses for two years now, finally the Conservatives are starting to listen.
But this proposed ban is too weak and feeble.
The bonuses should be banned today, regardless of criminal conviction.

RT by @carolinevoaden: Conservatives have neglected children’s mental health during and after the pandemic, leaving mental health services and families in crisis.
It's time to tackle the crisis among young people, and finally bring parity mental and physical health care.

RT by @carolinevoaden: Shocking.
Both Ofwat and the Environment Agency did not declare this as hospitality from water firms in a recent Freedom of Information Request by the Lib Dems.
They have serious questions to answer now.

Four years after we left I spoke up for shellfish exporters whose businesses have been destroyed by new regulations. They have been hammered by rules which don’t apply to

Poorly negotiated Brexit trade agreements make future planning all but impossible.

R to @carolinevoaden: experience to our former political group. As Europe goes to the polls later this year our colleagues will use our experience - and the reality of Brexit - in their campaigns for re-election.
We’ve seen the damage the populists have done to the UK.

R to @carolinevoaden: No one wants to reopen the Brexit debate. But most people can see the agreement reached by the Conservatives, supported Devon and Cornwall MPs, just isn’t working. It has failed communities, business and people.
We need to forge a new relationship.

Good to hear that the EU door is always open to the UK. It’s time to find a new relationship.

RT by @carolinevoaden: Last night, peers rejected @LibDemLords' plan to stop the Rwanda Bill in its tracks.
We will continue to oppose this impractical, inhumane and expensive policy.
We need a long-term solution including clearing the asylum backlog, and providing safe, legal routes for refugees.

Proud of the Lib Dem peers and others who voted against this vile Bill last night in the House of Lords.
Sad to see most Labour peers refused to back Lib Dem motion and abstained.
Doesn't fill me with confidence about the sort of government Labour will be.
