Water system a 'disaster', Green deputy leader says
Green Party deputy leader Rachel Millward has described the UK's water system as an 'unmitigated disaster' due to decades of underinvestment. She criticized the government's current plans for reform as insufficient and reiterated the party's long-standing demand for full nationalization of water companies. Millward emphasized that the Green Party aims to influence the national agenda, pushing for bolder policies including wealth taxes and rent controls. While confident on national policy, she faced challenges addressing specific local council issues during recent media interviews.
