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.

I've also just seen that my water bills will likely rise¹ as, again, we're expected to pay for the failings of the private company that is #ThamesWater.
I have relatives in Scotland and their water is not privatised. They don't pay a separate water bill, it is included in their Council Tax.
What these #WaterSupplyIssues have shown me, even more than I already thought, is that services like Water supply should not in in private hands.
50 years ago the UK went through a massive drought. I remember it well. We shared baths, put bricks in our toilet cisterns and queued at standpipes for water. When privatisation was forced upon us (yes I am looking at you Thatcherites) we were told the private investment and running would make things better. 50 years and we're no better, if not worse, off. This is not how it is supposed to be.

This is a thread with a rant or two, some praise and a request. Feel free to mute the #WaterSupplyIssues hashtag I'll use
This week our home was one of the "10000" affected by two burst water mains that massively disrupted water supplies to 14 postcode areas in East London and Essex, UK.¹
We were fortunate, we only lost our water supply for 18 hours but pressure dropped significantly across the rest of the time and we had no idea whether it was going to go off again or not.
The water company #ThamesWater supplied bottled water at one or two locations which quickly ran out and there were massive queues causing the surrounding areas to become gridlocked.
Local shops quickly ran out of bottled water too. I had to drive about 10 miles to get some. Our water supply did not return to normal for four 4 days. Apart from limiting toilet flushing and not having showers we were decanting drinking water into containers "just in case" ( #1stWorldProblems ).
That's the background, the rest will be the rants, praise and request

Memo to #ThamesWater chief exec Weston
Things that are "not realistic":
- Your corporate debt level
- Your prices
- Dumping sewage that kills rivers
- A " bailout" that immunises shareholders
- Exec pay going up while on the verge of insolvencyThings are are realistic:
- Leakage goalsThe man is offensive. The entire exec team need to go along w Ofwat. #NationaliseThamesWaterNow

Stunning statement on #ThamesWater
"...the money customers are paying in bills is nowhere near enough to fund the massive infrastructure upgrades needed after years of underinvestment."
The entire justification for #privatisation was greater investment. Yet another lie.

My head hurts that any government allows #ThamesWater to continue to operate.
I've long said, #NationaliseThamesWaterNow , absorbing only debt held by UK pensions. Then immediately fire all senior management and replace them with mid-level managers on £1-2M salaries with a 50% bonus. Have the entire thing operate under the close scrutiny of a government minder. Give a 10% rate cut and pour all the money from dividends and exec bonus into infrastructure
It's got to be better.

This is a hard no!
Not only should #ThamesWater not be allowed to take on more debt, but that debts shouldn't be backstopped by the government.
