This £100 billion figure is from a report funded by the Privatised Water Industry to lobby against Nationalisation.
Why is a Labour MP regurgitating industry lies?

100% I’d love to see nationalised utilities more than anyone else but we need to be realistic that the choices are:
There is another way… the new government regulator can force terms on the water companies that limit bill hikes, pay, dividends and bonuses until the upgrades they were supposed to do over the last 40 years are completed and their debts are repaid.
The pensions take a bit of a hit without wiping them out and the government is just ensuring the vital infrastructure is upgraded and sewage is treated as promised when they privatised.
US uses regulatory commissions for electricity among other utilities…
It doesnt work.
The parasite captured it too. I am not even sureif anything works due to culture of corruption within Corp and state institutions
There is nothing that can be done tbh… just let them loot it. fuck it, who cares. The rich deserve to live their best lives.
No, they need to be made to put it right. But that requires a strong regulatory framework, sustained pressure from government backed with expertise and oversight from a capable civil service and it will take years.
Or we can burn it all down and get faraj who will not give two shits about water quality. The choice is ours.
I am with yo but there is clearly a strong bootlicker sentiment in this thread tbh
