This government mustn't hesitate to bring Thames Water into permanent public ownership.

>10,000 members of the public have signed the petition calling on you to bring it into public hands.
You yourself have said this is what 'should' be done.
Will you make good on your promises, Andy Burnham?

A cycleway is only as good as its weakest link and #ThamesWater seem determined (or careless) to weaken as many as possible. Right now TfL Cycleways 2, 3, 4, and 22 are ALL closed in some way by #ThamesWater with no safe alternatives. How is this acceptable?

By Sammy GecsoylerWhile many people in the UK recognise the need to preserve water, others are furious and planning to flout the ban in their area. The target of their anger? Failing water companies and frighteningly thirsty datacentres

"Even with the fig leaf of a golden share, [the creditors' proposal] might be miles away from Burnham’s promises about public ownership"
WE AGREE. With one small adjustment.
This proposal IS miles away from what Burnham has promised about public ownership.
Special administration of Thames Water - followed by permanent public ownership - is a way to immediately start making good on that promise.

Thames Water's creditors are panicking. Right now, they’re rushing to submit a last-ditch proposal to Ofwat and the new Environment Secretary in a desperate attempt to protect their interests.
But it's old wine in new bottles. Write to Angela Eagle today and tell her to reject the creditors' offer.

Hmm. We have seen how that works in the past. An incoming Tory (or even Nu Labour) government effectively gift the share (which BTW will be not generating any revenue).
Screw Thames Water and the shareholders who have expatriated vast sums and nationalise the bastards.

So, Thames Water has, despite its current travails, both boosted bonus payments fro is management & increased the pay for its CEO.
If you wanted an example of how the rentier class works this would be it; knowing that the entire house of cards is about to collapse the management of Thames Water are draining (pun intended) as much cash as they can out for the utility before any (likely) forced (possibly temporary) nationalisation!

🤑Thames Water CEO Chris Weston insists his 14% payrise to almost £1m this year is "absolutely deserved".
On the same day Thames Water starts a campaign urging us to do our bit to save water this summer.
This is their way of making us responsible for their lack of infrastructure maintenance & investment. And it stinks.

The Thames Water saga keeps rumbling on.
Now the water regulator - Ofwat - has objected to the creditors' outrageous attempts to keep the utility privatised.
And they're absolutely right. The public won't accept a deal which prioritises US hedge funds ahead of the households who pay for - and depend upon - our water system.
Time to put Thames Water out of its misery. We need special administration, followed by permanent public ownership.

👀You won't read about this in mainstream media. Water regulator Ofwat has rejected Thames Water creditor's rescue deal.
"The London & Valley Water consortium is now revising its proposal for the 4th time following objections over customer costs & investment delays."
Keep the pressure on - write to Ofwat today. It only takes a minute.

“After decades of ignoring rampant environmental crime on the Roding, the Environment Agency has finally decided to act,” he said. “But it’s not action against Thames Water [utility company] for dumping billions of litres of sewage in the Roding, or the waste criminals who have dumped thousands of tonnes of rubbish on its banks, but against the River Roding Trust for… restoring a river without a permit.”

The pressure's building on Thames Water in Parliament. Last week many MPs were calling for special administration.
Now 19 MPs (so far) from across the political spectrum are demanding that it be taken into public ownership.
Every MP, of every party, should be putting their name to this.
