Y’all used to be an empire but you haven’t been keeping sewage out of your rivers?

Probably a good thing that will benefit us.

The problem is, like with most things this government seems to be doing, we won’t feel the benefit for a long time. People are impatient and they want results now.

Whether that’s reasonable or not doesn’t matter. It’s the reality, it affects polling, and will affect the next general election.

Things like this, the planning reforms, the infrastructure spending they’re doing, SureStart 2.0, NHS improvements, green subsidies, etc won’t start to bear fruit until Reform are in, and they’ll benefit from it, only to then tear it all down so the next government inherits the same poisoned chalice this government did last year.
