The House of Lords has blocked the UK government's plan to relax restrictions on water pollution to encourage housebuilding in England.

Labour led a rebellion in the Lords to defeat the government in a vote on removing the EU-era "nutrient neutrality" rules.

Ministers believe up to 100,000 new homes could be built by 2030 if water pollution regulations are loosened.

But environmental groups said the move would mean more polluted waters.

The government announced plans to scrap these rules through an amendment, or change, to the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, currently going through the House of Lords.

Because of the late stage at which the government tried to introduce the change, it cannot try again in the House of Commons now it has been defeated.

Ministers would need to bring the proposal forward in a new bill.

Finally fraud charges against ex bosses of Patisserie Valerie ; but why did it take so long?

Eat turnips said the pie thief when our Supermarket shelves had no veg.

Turnips are for cows which she closely resembles.

I really wish our colonisers were alive to see this >>>>>>> https://twitter.com/NoContextBrits/status/1701581927017320452/photo/1

VAST areas of LONDON have no water or low water pressure.

Bp adr

38.10 USD −0.51 (1.32%)

Maybe I was OTT

BP shares could drop 10% tomorrow as leaving his post immediately

MEGA SHOCK as he was so important for BP's green agenda

They rigged the state pension the year before last when it should have been about 7% (earnings)

Gave us just 3%

So last years 10% was well overdue

Huge shock

Sinkholes

Called Daneholes back in the day

Plenty around GRAYS (THURROCK) where I was born.

We even had a wood called Daneholes wood.

Why do they keep changing the names of stuff.

India next !

40% of our WW2 solders were from our colonies...

UK state pensions are one of the lowest in Europe.

Upsetting their key voters by reneging on their promised triple lock would be most unwise.

They always could get subsidies within the EU

But you lot lied before the vote and said they couldn't

Yeah, makes sense. Got to keep minimum wage earners fighting to keep their jobs by squeezing their standards of living; under no circumstances give them a social security net to rely on. Keep them in their place working the fields and care homes for long hours at low wages, which should make it harder for them to vote.

Very important political tactic now the red wall is crumbling after the illusion of financial benefits from Brexit never materialised for the poorest strata of society... Can't make it easy for them to switch back to voting for Labour. /S

"Government is talking about cutting benefits for the poorest in our society, to “fund” pre-election tax-cuts,"

"Crumbs for the British people, cake for the Tory chums."

I'LL SPELL IT OUT ‼️

Benefit cuts for the poor tax cuts for the rich

Do we know what the subsidy would have been if we were still an attractive option for car manufacturers, safe within the EU?

Government is talking about cutting benefits for the poorest in our society, to “fund” pre-election tax-cuts, but they’re able to find £75m for BMW to sweeten a deal with them post-Brexit and get a few headlines for a day.

Crumbs for the British people, cake for the Tory chums.
