  1. 💩 8 Thames Water outlets are currently discharging waste into UK waterways! #ThamesWater #Bot

  2. @ChrisMayLA6

    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 Jenny Jones

    I will calmly read all the threatening letters and await the court case against me. But I will take a stand even if our government won’t

  12. Andy Burnham’s autumn of pain– podcast
    By Presented by Kiran Stacey and Peter Walker, produced by Ned Carter Miles, music by Axel Kacoutié; the executive producer was Frankie Tobi

    It’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. Kiran Stacey and Peter Walker look at the choices facing Burnham

  13. I am not sure that poisoning your customers (even if they have no choice of the matter of where they purchase it) is a sound long term business proposition. But then extracting money, expatriating it as quickly as possible and loading the ‘vehicle’ with debt has always been a working principle of the privatised English water companies.

  17. RE: mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117155

    If there's not already, there will soon be wars over access to clean water, and here we are having sold all ours off to parasites and we suffer because of it.

    Andy says "no"

  18. 🤑Thames Water's US hedge fund creditors are pulling every trick in the book to avoid nationalisation.

    But they still want to be allowed to pollute illegally until 2030 without penalty.

    It's absurd. The 16 million people who depend on Thames Water are being treated with total contempt.

    Public ownership now. No excuses, no delays.

  19. From Scotland, I look at England’s water privatisation disaster. I wish you had done what we did | Devi Sridhar
    By Devi Sridhar

    Listening to debate, you’d think bringing English water companies into public ownership was a radical socialist idea. Here, we call it common sense

  20. Thames Water's creditors say a new Board would "fix the foundations" of the failing utility.

    Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, more like.

    The only thing that will fix the foundations of England's water industry is public ownership.

  21. #ThamesWater 's Legal Showdown: £3 Billion Bailout Battle Unfolds

    #England ’s largest water company seeks a financial lifeline amid towering debts and creditor conflicts.

    August 10, 2026

    "Thames Water's predicament not only highlights its operational fragilities, plagued by outdated infrastructure and rising public dissatisfaction over #pollution incidents and escalating water bills, but also amplifies its strategic importance in serving vast swathes of London and the surrounding regions.

    [...]

    "The unfolding creditor clash not only underscores the intricate dance between legal, financial, and operational challenges but also places a magnifying glass on the fragile underpinnings of the UK's privatized water industry."

  23. Serious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says

    Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.

    Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).

    " 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."
