Labour has accused the Government of allowing water companies to "cut corners".Labour has accused the Government of allowing water companies to "cut corners" after figures showed 1,076 years' worth of raw sewage had been dumped into UK waterways since 2016.
"Labour will put a stop to this disgraceful practice by ensuring there can be enforcement of unlimited fines, holding water company bosses legally and financially accountable for their negligence, and by toughening up regulations that currently allow the system to be abused." It comes after a story in the Telegraph suggested that official plans to reduce the level of raw sewage discharged into waterways had been temporarily shelved.A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs pointed to a statement released on its website on Thursday, which said the Government is "taking action" on sewage discharges.
It is called Freedom from EU

This should be the end of the road for the Tory MP's who voted for this.
