MPs will debate a petition rel...

At least 30 backbench Labour MPs are scheduled to speak on the debate for a referendum on public ownership of water today in parliament.

They know that what happens next for water will be crucial for this government.

Because it's a simple choice: will Burnham put the public first, or US hedge funds and faraway shareholders?

Thames Water is a zombie company, kept alive by debt.

Take it into Special Administration. That way cash from customer bills can go straight into sewage and water infrastructure rather than servicing the debt.

Then take it into public ownership. Water can't be a hostage to private greed.

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"Thames Water's predicament not only highlights its operational fragilities, plagued by outdated infrastructure and rising public dissatisfaction over #pollution incidents and escalating water bills, but also amplifies its strategic importance in serving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

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."
