Thames Water restructuring deal would provide £1.5bn now, rising to £3bn. Already has £19bn debt. Bills will rocket New money would pay adviser fees, existing interest charges, leaving £500m in usable cash. After that? End the Ponzi scheme. Nationalise theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Who owns Thames Water and profits from it? The shareholders and debt owners. Who pays for all operating costs, investment, financing, dividends, fines, massive legal fees and everything else? That's you, dear captive billpayer and has ALWAYS BEEN YOU.

Just when you thought Thames Water bosses’ behaviour couldn’t get any worse! The company is rotten and must be brought back into public ownership. Agree? Sign our petition ✍️ tinyurl.com/yxht3p94 #ThamesWater #BlockTheBailout #PublicOwnership

Most of Thames Water’s sewage works do not have enough tanks or pipes to process current volumes of sewage. And just to remind you, Ofwat has confirmed it, water companies have admitted it, for 35 years we have paid them to build, operate and maintain a properly functioning

Thames Water is a joke. But it’s a joke at our expense. 🤡 A blatant cash grab, from a company on the brink of bankruptcy and drowning in its own debt.📉 Govt must take Thames into full permanent public ownership before they do more damage to our wallets and the environment.

Thames Water shows two fingers to customers. Having spent decades ram raiding customers bank accounts for billions £, loaded the company with £19bn in debt, demanding another £3bn in debt, dumped billions of litres of sewage into rivers, over abstracted chalk streams they’re now

Thames Water has just 5 weeks worth of cash left. That's why Tuesday at the High Court is D-Day. One of two things will happen, the court will agree to another £3,000,000,000 in debt been added to customers' bills or it goes into special administration, it's made insolvent.

Incase you haven't been following this, Thames Water claims it needs £3bn in the next few weeks otherwise it's going bankrupt. Reality is the proposed loan is an initial payment of £1.6bn of which £800m is going to be charged in fees and interest. Yep, if this is allowed TW's

Most Superloop routes supplement existing routes. A future one replacing one of London busiest routes doesn't. I've ridden the existing route start to finish. When it begins many will lose a stop including thousands at new housing en route fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2025/03/10/sup…

Only 15% are not British nationals, according to 2021 Census. The ignorance or nastiness is that Philp's use of the word "foreign" implies that, in his view, Londoners born overseas - who account for 41% of all Londoners - aren't really British. Where does this argument lead...?

Thames Water has its final legal appeal to allow its £3bn loan tomorrow (at 10% interest that billpayers will pay) If it gets it, it goes bankrupt in 6 months anyway, and you will have to pay it all If it doesn't it goes bankrupt tomorrow RT if Thames Water needs to die

Absolutely gutted to hear the Thames Water bailout is going ahead Millions of "customers" forced to pay £250 extra for ever expanding debt pile There has never been a better time for the government to step in and introduce PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP news.sky.com/story/thames-w…

Thames Water data reveals raw sewage dumped in rivers rose 50% in 2024. TW knowingly acts illegally. Dumping sewage in rivers since 1989. Govt promised prosecutions. Still waiting. TW wants to hike bills by 59%. Must remove profit motive. Nationalise. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Prem Sikka 💯Watch Thames Water 💧 in Crisis on BBC2. It leaves you realising in no uncertain terms that TW is a rubbish finance company with a failing water infrastructure strapped to its side! We need change now!

"We should be asking where our money's gone and what's happened to it." "It's a legitimate rip-off." A clip of Feargal Sharkey hits the nail on the head in #ThamesWaterInsideTheCrisis

Private equity bids for Thames Water “are conditional on further, and varying, regulatory support and accommodations being achieved”. Translation - bailout, bigger bills, no fines for sewage dumping, no restraint on dividends. Total Govt capitulation. theguardian.com/business/nils-…

We were promised action; all we get is betrayal. In 2023 water companies in England and Wales spent 4,608,494 hours dumping sewage into the environment. Ofwat say if you get a 1 star environment rating your bonus will be banned. Q: How many water industry fat cats do you think
