One cannot water the tulips. I demand satisfaction.
They are both really hitting the key issues of today.
Hose pipe compensation, stopping solar and wind expansion, reducing or removing biscuit tax, unbanning dangerous carcinogenic pesticides and herbicides, cutting pay for nurses and teachers, banning dissenting online opinions of the government, and of course, lots and lots of lovely fracking!!!
These are truly the big issues of our time!
This sets a worrying precedent, are we going to pay tax payer money for all water company shortcomings?
Private Water companies make millions while not maintaining infrastructure or developing new infrastructure…now we must pay
I admittedly was quite surprised the hosepipe ban took this long to come into force, the summer’s basically over now and I would’ve thought parts of the country would have had it during the July heatwave. Compensation for hosepipe bans is such a stupid policy, why are both candidates so wilfully supporting the destruction of our planet and depletion of resources ffs?
Is it because it’s in Kent and Sussex?
Aka the south east?
This seems like convenient timing, given that he’s getting that pool built.
We could compensate people
Or we could force water companies to stop the 1/4 of all water leaking away
Touch private profits? Don’t be silly. Of course we should have the tax payer compensate other tax payers and leave the corporations alone
Can we be compensated for the amount of eye rolling we’ve done over these past few weeks?
They will give money to literally anyone but the poor won’t they?
Of course he does. It’s the Tory heartlands that are being affected.
Who seriously is going to affected by the hosepipe ban aside from Football clubs, Golf clubs and garden centres
What is the likelyhood that this compensation is being floated around because it’s the southwest that is struggling and not like Northumbria or Greater Manchester.
I didn’t read the article but is it Satire ??
They will both U turn, these are only being bought up to win the campaign
Jesus Christ please just use government money to help people who have no money
Sunak has seen the venn diagram of lawn maintenance obsession and Conservative party membership then…
Let me guess its a loan?
Why don’t they invest in ways to store more water thorough the year? Other countries invested on that an as a result there are no bans when it doesn’t rain in summer, as they were already prediction 3-4 dry months. If this is the new normal, surely they should find a long-term solution.
The most Little England policy ever.
Misread that as compensation for people hit by a hosepipe.
Err I want compensation for having the crapest weather for the whole summer. West coast of Scotland has had pish weather all summer!! I want to be compensated with 2 weeks in antalya all inclusive.
But how they gunna water this magic money tree if there’s a hosepipe ban?
Won’t spend money on sorting the economy
Will spend money compensating greedy selfish twats
Yeah…fuck golf courses! That’s who he wants to compensate…golf courses!!
If you own enough land that you need hose pipe to water your garden, they’ll get you compensation if any of your plants die.
If you live in a bedsit and don’t have a pot to piss in, they’ll give you nothing. You can go ahead and die.
He’s considering it………way to dangle that none existent carrot ya dick.
Could the water companies maybe fix their leaky pipes or I dunno, pipe more water in and treat it… We are an island surrounded by the stuff.. use some profits and increase supply?
Really shows how these policies are about demographic, not ideology, when the Tories are happy to regulate water companies for the sake of *uhh* people with lawns, but don’t give a fuck about regulating train contractors to protect commuters.
Next week workhouses and bringing back forelock tugging.
Think we should just make the privatised water companies fix their obscene amount of leaks
What about f*ing compensation for the f*ing overpricing on my f*ing energy bills from the f*ing big energy companies who are making f*-you record profits?
Why would you compensate anybody for that?
Aside from buying votes, of course.
Lol the crazy hosepipe ban/response controversy is front and center.
Natural monopolies shouldn’t be privatised.
At minimum these companies should be fined, based on the water they lose through systems they haven’t maintained.
I can’t take two more years of this nonsense.
Great work Rishi, first your war on ‘woke’ and now hosepipe bans. You’ve really got your finger on the pulse of the population.
What a cunt.
I truly hope the conservative party goes up its own arsehole and stay there for the next 3trillion years
Ah yes… The 0.1% water consumption waste needed a ban.
At the same time the 0.1% of water consumption via garden pipes is soo oppressive it needs Compensation.
