The regulator will allow higher bills to fund growing costs and investment, the BBC understands.

    How else are they to cover the fines they caused themselves.

    Set stringent standards.

    Set maximum bill rises.

    Renationalise them without compensation if they fail to oblige.

    There is no point in them even being privatised. I can’t choose my water provider like I can with internet, electricity, gas, etc. It serves no benefit to us.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
