"Water bills face £40 hike if sector is downgraded, industry chief warns."
Yet more nonsense from the Ministry of Truth that is the water industry lobbying arm. @MarkKleinmanSky
Over the next 5 years water companies will spend £104 billion. Just £14 billion of that money is coming from shareholders but oh wait, shareholders are then taking £13 billion back again by way of dividends leaving a total of £91 billion that's actually getting invested.
Guess who's funding £90 billion of that, yes, 99% of the so called total investment? Yep you, the bill payer, not the shareholders, not the bond market, you.
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
Another thing for the @CommonsEFRA committee to ask the lobbyists this morning.

This is what we've come to.
A retired couple had to spend £1m of their own money taking both the @EnvAgency and @NaturalEngland to the High Court simply to force both of these charlatans to do their job, safeguard one of our nation's most legally heavily protected bits of countryside.
And the environment charities does what exactly?

Just like you and I commercial companies have credit ratings.
S&P, one of the big global corporate credit rating agencies have just downgraded Thames Water's rating to CCC-.
Meaning? Get your money the hell out of there, if you invest this company highly likely you're gonna loose it. Run like the wind bullseye.
Meanwhile 15 million customers are trapped with nowhere to run.

"Burnham urges officials to come up with more radical options for Thames Water."
Well done Andy Burnham @andyburnham
There are ultimately just two answers to Thames Water, put the company into Special Administration and restructure - refinance it or give in to the demands of the New York vulture capitalists exposing tax payers and bill payers to yet more decades of exploitation.
The latter of course is unacceptable.

Can't afford to leave the privatised water scam?
A massive, high value, smart suited, fancy office, rogue trader operation propped up by lies and an outsmarted government promoting those lies..

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

"Danny Dyer delivers No 10 petition calling for nationalisation of water industry"
350,000 people have signed it and it's increasing by the hour. We've all had enough and @andyburnham needs to listen.

Last chance to sign. Ends today Not 'public control', a real thing called public ownership.

Schools forced to shut amid burst Thames Water pipe ‘leaking 750 litres a second.
TW infrastructure has average age of 79 yrs. Industry average is 56 yrs. 40% of TW assets are over 100 yrs old.
Profits siphoned-off, investment neglected, execs rewarded.

“Thames Water should have been in special administration yesterday...
How can this Government be serious about their promise to reverse Thatcher’s legacy of privatisation, if they are not urgently bringing it into public hands?”

Imagine water being owned by public interest companies that put the public and environment before the owners' interests
Then wake up and realise you are being conned!
The Victorians worked that out and we have had 37 years of proof that they were right
@andyburnham @labourlewis

Thames Water: Andy Burnham should nationalise this failed monopoly.
The entire water industry has failed. Must be nationalised.
It is similar story in the energy sector. Profiteering, low investment.
Privatisation has deepened cost of living crisis

Swiss private equity firm and UK investor buy 1,570-bed student accommodation.
Another sector taken over by PE, loaded with debt, high rents, profiteering.
Rents outstrip govt maintenance loans.
No UK tax charged on dividends paid to foreign investors.

We don’t want ‘control’.
We don’t want ‘public interest companies’
We want full-fat, public ownership now!
Our friends at @serauk challenging the CAC’s decision to rule out our joint motion calling for public ownership of water.
Privatised water has failed. We need public ownership now - and Labour must be able to debate bold ideas to achieve real change.

Southampton Council declared a vote of no confidence in @SouthernWater after finding "levels of faecal bacteria 140 times the limit for designated bathing water status" in the River Itchen.
Good for them. Disgusting, as ever, from @SouthernWater.
