Conservative MP Ian Liddell-Grainger has launched a stinging attack on South West Water, claiming that “like Russell Brand, [it is] not to be trusted”. Liddell-Grainger accused the water company of failing its customers and described its environmental performance as “the worst in the country”, during a Westminster Hall debate. The MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset also accused senior officials at South West of “acting like mobsters” by intimidating local journalists which he said “made Al Capone look like an angel”.
