England’s water industry issued £10.5bn in ‘green bonds’ despite pollution record.
Industry dumps tons of raw sewage in rivers, lakes and seas. Destroys marine life, biodiversity; creates health hazards.
And spineless regulators call them green bonds. Travesty.

The budget didn't bother the powerful.
No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.
No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.
Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.
85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.

UK govt can save over £20bn a year by ending payment of interest on commercial banks’ central bank reserves.
Subsidy implemented after the 2007-08 crash. Banks are very profitable.
Since 2023, the EU stopped paying interest on central bank reserves.
UK can find better uses of £20bn+.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at welfare cuts.
Why do govts not cut corporate welfare?
Subsidies for auto, steel, oil, gas, biomass, internet, shipbuilding and others, without any equity stake.
Profiteering by energy, water, phone, house builders, care home, dental care companies.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves hints at more welfare cuts after previous rebellion - but authority on shaky ground
The government's earlier efforts to reform welfare and save £5bn ended in an inglorious failure.

Will UK Chancellor redistribute?
End two-child benefit cap, cost £3bn-£3.6bn.
Abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cost £2.5bn.
Increase income tax personal allowance by £1000, cost £8.4bn.
Taxing capital gains at same rate as wages, generates £14bn+ more in NIC.
Another world is possible.

The Mayor of London has told me in public just now he supports scrapping the two child benefit cap - when the Chancellor can afford to do so.
I asked him if he'd support a wealth tax on assets - and he refused to answer the question.
