Voters want a fighter. Talk is cheap. #Burnham needs to take on a few fights, even if he loses.
IMO, the quickest win is to put #ThamesWater in special measures, then rush thru legislation to ensure most debt is carried by the investors.
IMO, gov should only cover debt held by UK pension funds.

By Presented by Kiran Stacey and Peter Walker, produced by Ned Carter Miles, music by Axel Kacoutié; the executive producer was Frankie TobiIt’s been a month since Andy Burnham became prime minister. And while polls have shown a ‘Burnham bounce’, the coming months will force the new PM into making some tough – and potentially unpopular – decisions that will reveal how serious he is about delivering the changes he believes the country needs.

But give them more bonuses! Make sure the #shareholders are happy!
Who are the key figures in the #Sewage crisis, and where are they now?
With anger stoked by #Channel4’ s drama #DirtyBusiness, we look at what has happened to some of the main players
Sandra Laville
Fri 13 Mar 2026"Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. #SouthWestWater was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.
"As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the #privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.
"The Guardian examined what some of the main characters are doing today."
[...]
"Sarah Bentley
Bentley was the chief executive of #ThamesWater from September 2020 to June 2023. She joined from Severn Trent and promised an eight-year turnaround for the company, but left with immediate effect after three years following a public outcry over the discharge of #RawSewage into #rivers and missing targets on pollution and sewer flooding."

Why, indeed!
Why can #GolfCourses stay green during #droughts?
Wendy Hurrelland, Tony Grew, 8/4/2026
"While London's parks are showing the strain of a prolonged drought and high temperatures, some spots in the capital are still sporting pristine green grass.
"School playing fields and golf courses appear partly unaffected by the #HosepipeBan imposed by Thames Water on most of London at the end of July.
"Dulwich College and St Paul's School have come in for criticism for the lushness of their playing fields at a time of concern about the water supply, while London's golf courses are also being eyed with envy by homeowners whose lawns are turning brown."
[...]
"However, Cat Hobbs, director of We Own It, told BBC London: 'Since 1989 (water companies) have extracted £85bn in dividends.
" 'And when you get your water bill through the door, a third of that is going directly out again into shareholders' pockets and into the interest payments on the debts that they're racking up at your expense.
" 'We're all in this rip-off right now and it really has to end because what it means is that we're wasting essential money that could be used to reinvest into the infrastructure to stop leaks and we're wasting water.' "

@llanciawn @thegreenparty He's got #billions, & I very much doubt that #ThamesWater can be put out of his #price range that way. He has to be legally prevented from buying the #firm!
