Also feeds into questions of food security and migration, the UK needs to consider where it's food come's from, how robust those supply chains are. It also needs to realise that whilst a relatively rich country can make adjustments. Poorer countries can't and this will drive migration.

After the 8th wettest autumn and winter on record. Handy if the WaterCos invested to capture some of that before it runs off!

Exactly, this is an infrastructure problem. Largely due to privatisation.

Drawn @commoner.bsky.social

Britain does not have a water shortage problem it has an infrastructure problem, largely due to privatisation. (It was flooding here just a few months back.) Climate change is obv a factor, but blaming this all on that is letting the govt off the hook.
