10:46 pm
gas, the electricity companies, particularly the water companies. i think there are questions to be asked about whether these industries are properly regulated, because when you look at not only the salaries of these chief executives, but also the bonuses and tips they are being paid, and it's a nice table in the metro, naming and shaming photographs of some of the big packages. then you look at the performances, you look at there are so many leaks and these old pipes that they are pumping more sewage into our seas and rivers. but they are about to impose, and some have already imposed, hosepipe ban and some are about to. and ijust think that the ordinary person who's paying the charges for these senses, it's actually pretty fed up. so the regulators i think have failed to do theirjob, they failed to hold these companies to account and make sure

they deliver a proper performance. and certainly in the case of the water companies, the likelihood of climate change, we'll see drought, more difficulty with our water supplies. you feel like somebody needs to say to the regulators, step up needs to say to the regulators, step up and do a betterjob. certainly i know i've seen a lot of the seas and over to mike rivers and it's really unpleasant to be checking for raw sewage and the effect it can have on your eyes, ears and skin. it'sjust not ok. your eyes, ears and skin. it's 'ust not ok. , , �* , , ., not ok. very well put, it's 'ust not ok and it seems * not ok. very well put, it'sjust not ok and it seems extraordinary - not ok. very well put, it'sjust not| 0k and it seems extraordinary that if the system is supposed to provide regulation, the market is also supposed to regulate their share prices and all those other things. so we look at all these mechanisms, it's regulated by parliament, and
10:48 pm
taking all that together, we still aren't satisfied with what we're getting. maybe our new prime minister can have a review of regulation. speaking of new prime ministers, maybe she will want to have a review because you don't have any money that involves extra investment.— any money that involves extra investment. , , ., , ., , ., investment. this is a history of the front -a . e investment. this is a history of the front page of _ investment. this is a history of the front page of the _ investment. this is a history of the front page of the i, _ investment. this is a history of the front page of the i, it's _ investment. this is a history of the front page of the i, it's a _ investment. this is a history of the front page of the i, it's a report . front page of the i, it's a report by the office for budget responsibility that liz truss will have a lot less money than she thought to make these tax cuts she wants to make. so the obr is saying it will be issuing a new forecast of the uk economy and it will warned that rather than having £30 billion of head room, she's probably got less than half that. there's also this hole at the bottom saying she is likely to become the next pm, giving her 66% to rishi sunak�*s 32%,
