How utterly pathetic, toothless tiger of the water industry, Ofwat stomping a foot and wagging a finger while telling fat cat bosses not to defy their bonus ban. You might not wanna mention that to Susan Davy CEO of South West Water who just 16 days after the ban was announced

Water companies have taken more than £70bn in dividends, leaving the public with leaking pipes and polluted rivers. It's time for the government to nationalise water, to ensure firefighters have access to clean water supply to safely tackle fires.

In April 2024, Steve Reed MP could have put Thames Water into Special Admiin. Instead he decided to force customers to fund an extorionate bailout package that is still sucking out money that could have paid for investment. Prem Sikka Feargal Sharkey bbc.com/news/business-…

Expecting a #drought to be declared for #Hampshire later today. This will likely have severe consequences for the #chalkstreams, with the River Test most at risk, followed by the River Itchen. We’re maybe a month away from abstraction levels crossing the “hands-off” flow limit.

Water firms across the country are announcing hosepipe bans. All while: - 3 billion litres of water are wasted daily through leaks. - Not a single major reservoir has been built since privatisation. Time for public ownership: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-be…

Astonishing that the government has allowed this privatised failure to stagger on for so long 9 out of 10 countries run water in public ownership, England can do the same Scottish Water is in public ownership and invests £72 more per household per year theguardian.com/business/2025/…

How England's water went to shit. Ideology of privatisation. Monopolies privatised. Political system bought by corporations. Profiteering by corporations. Ineffective regulation. No one listens to the people. Govt still resisting public ownership. prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/environm…

I see govt are still repeating the idea that they've "secured £104 billion pounds of private sector investment in the water sector over the next five years". That's a downright lie, I dare you, prove I'm wrong.
