Do not treat customers like a blank cheque, Burnham warns water companies

The coverage of Andy Burnham's warning to water companies shows a broad agreement that the industry is under scrutiny. However, the framing and emphasis differ across outlets. Left-leaning GB News focuses on bill increases, while right-leaning FT UK highlights the Ofwat decision. Centre-ground outlets, such as Independent Business and Evening Standard, take a more neutral tone, focusing on water company spending. The tone ranges from critical to cautious, reflecting the varying perspectives of the outlets.
