Storming speech from Andy Burnham. I expect Chris Mason will be along soon, to get Nigel Farage's opinion on it.

🔥8320 people have already sent our response to Ofwat's bill hike consultation Our water bills have more than doubled since 1990. In return we got: 💩Sewage-filled rivers 💧3 billion litres wasted daily 💷£90 billion taken out in dividends Send the response now: vist.ly/5jq7n

Quote from Andy Burnham: "Households “have been asked to pay more for years, yet serious pollution incidents are at record levels and the pipes are still leaking... Customers cannot be treated as a blank cheque. Where water companies seek to pass unnecessary costs on to households, they will be challenged.”"

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Companies pay employer national insurance (ENI) on director pay. Partners in limited liability partnerships (LLPs) share profit, instead of salary. LLPs don't pay ENI on that. £150k ENI for every £1m of profit shared is avoided. Big four law firms alone avoided paying £4bn. Must end this perk.
