  2. On Monday, Sir John Cuncliffe will publish his report into the state of the UK Water Industry

    To get ahead of this tomorrow, Steve Reed, the Environment Secretary, will be on #BBCLauraK and #TrevorPhillips during which he will announce the closure of the tissue tiger that is #Ofwat

    But what will replace it?

    Isn't it high time that full nationalisation takes place? Isn't this the opportunity?

    Using the phrase "The reality is" does not improve your argument.

    I agree that the Water industry as currently is not working for consumers or our environment - obsessing about ownership for a few years is kicking the can down the road - put someone like #fergalSharkey in charge of OfWat and give the regulator teeth will achieve far more at much less cost to taxpayers...

    I would nominate #fergalSharkey as the next head of #OfWat - with strong powers of compulsion - if I were #starmer

  6. #Water firms want bill rises to cut leaks and spills

    As the magnificent #fergalSharkey pointed out on TV this AM, we already paid for this work - why do we have to pay again?

    Why do water Company spokesmen produce such obvious effluent all the time?

    I suggest - for every £ we are billed, we get a £ of equity in their companies

  8. If you missed it, here's the data on #sewage spills for last year... and sadly for us in the #north our two local #water companies accounted for around 40% of all spills...looks like we need #FergalSharkey up here....

    This is what happened when you privatise local #monopolies & then allow the providers to be lightly regulated; large investment firms treat water as a rent opportunity, with little concern for the quality of water provision!
