  1. Thames Water's creditors have played their last card, but it's a Joker. They're not fooling anyone, & they deserve nothing.

  6. 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.

  16. 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.

  21. 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!

  23. 🤑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.

  25. 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.

  30. 👀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.
