New petition: Fund new reservoirs to increase future water supplies
England faces growing pressure on its water supplies due to factors like population growth, climate change and rising demand. The Government estimates 5 billion litres more water per day will be needed by 2050. Substantial additional water storage capacity will be needed to meet this challenge.

Thanks Trevor. As there are people like you and Mike on these platforms trying to help, there are also the very worst people too who exemplify the misplaced anger/resentment the Farages of this world have harnessed. Don't take it personally- you wouldn't want to swap places with any of them.

@nick1webb.bsky.social @vivamjm.bsky.social Having recently sat in a meeting with a medium sized UK exporter discussing their EU options & how to keep their customers satisfied I thought after 47 years in logistics I never thought any serious Uk gov would inflict Brexit on what makes GB great 2

In the league table of easier trade: A FTA is surpassed by a customs union with another; surpassed by a single market with another. UK will never compensate its Brexit losses unless it agrees a customs union inside a single market with another minimum 500m consumers.. 20 miles off shore

So UK travellers are better off being able to behave as SM members while not actually being part of the SM? And EU citizens arriving at our non functioning hard border? Are they flowing through freely as they did when they had FOM into UK? Any difference there?

Nick Webb @nick1webb.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
Unbelievable. I don't understand how the basic premise that leaving the SM is hugely damaging and disruptive is not considered as the base level for every article/report like this.

Are we at the point now where Brexit is just accepted to cause problems in all the areas is was expected to by experts who were rubbished at the time of the vote? The economy, immigration, NI, British freedom (gone) in Europe- all now worse permanently because we left the SM. Who's going to fix it?

If these facilities are ever used for what they were built for the UK will have border chaos with less choice and higher price of goods hitting businesses and public hard. If not used without joining SM we are an open border smugglers paradise. Both are awful options compared to SM/EU membership.

Post Brexit deregulation (allowing lower standards for us plebs and even grander profit margins for the owning elite) is in full swing. It can be stopped or can get much worse. We have to let the public know where we could be headed and hold govt to account. It will affect us all if we do nothing.

I find it almost impossible to understand trying to justify deliberately staying outside of the SM. Why follow all the rules without receiving all the benefits? Obviously this is because Starmer is terrified of supporting FOM. Convincing the public of it's benefits would change everything IMO.

Hi Kathy, that makes a lot of sense. I've proposed the framework so that the right people can get involved and get an attractive, balanced, fair referendum framework ready for when the time comes. We don't want to be blindsided if the tide suddenly turns and it's all called on out of nowhere.
