While people struggle to pay bills, Thames Water bosses pat themselves on the back, racking up debt, dodging responsibility & passing the cost to us. They profit, we pay. It's not enough to just stop bonuses. This only gets fixed with public ownership. ft.com/content/1f6d15…

"Environment Agency urges water companies to 'do more' after driest start to spring in 70 years." I see Environment Agency - Yorkshire & North East are up to their old tricks again, "urging", water companies "to do more". Your'e the regulator for God's sake, try regulating. Pathetic.

"Thames Water creditors to write off £6bn if KKR takes control." So here's how this is going to work. KKR (see under New York vulture capital company & star of Barbarians at the Gate), are now threatening regulators, government and TW's debt holders that unless they are allowed

👇This is what we’ve been warning of - our worst fears coming true. Not just government, but also the farming industry have to get a grip. It’s time they recognised the urgent need to change their ways. #SaveTheWye
