Good Morning Britain came to an unexpected hault minutes into the ITV morning show as a news correspondent issued a breaking news update outside Downing Street. During Monday’s visit (July 21) to the London studios, Kate Garraway and Ed Balls woke up the nation with some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines. But things took an unexpected turn just moments into the morning program as Kate, 58, threw the show over to news correspondent Louisa James who reported live outside number 10 for a breaking news story.

The brunette broadcaster issued an alarming update following a report from the Independent Water Commission as the government announces its plans to overhaul the sector to in place of a new, more powerful complaints watchdog. She began: “I guess the key question is how much is it going to cost and who is going to pay for it? Will the answer ultimately be: All of us through our bills? Because this report outlines some pretty big changes

“The government has made some very ambitious promises to half the number of pollution spills, water companies are making big spending plans, between them spending more than £100billion in improving infrastructure and our water have already gone up by 26% in April this year and are expected to continue rising.” 

The TV presenter went on to highlight one positive thing that has come out of the report to viewers at home, which is clear transparency into how the money is being spent. Louisa went on: “One good thing that the review looks at is how that money is going to be spent. 

“It talks about companies being less reliant on debt, more financially resilient, making sure they’re investing in maintaining their assets.” But the report isn’t entirely clear-cut, with the broadcast explaining to viewers that the report doesnt outline how the companies assign salaries for their bosses. 

This is partcularly prevelant after it was recently revealed that the chief executive of Southern Water was offered a pay rise worth hundreds of pounds. But that wasn’t the only question that went unanswered in the new governmental report. 

She went on: “What it also doesn’t do is address the question of renationalisation of water companies. That is something Reform UK wants but the government says it’s too expensive.

“It will take money away from things like the NHS and schools. Conservatives say the government needs to explain how replacing one quingo with another is going to clean up our rivers and lakes.”
