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.

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 TobiIt’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

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.

RE: https://mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117155376780816940
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"

🤑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.

But give them more bonuses! Make sure the #shareholders are happy!
Who are the key figures in the #Sewage crisis, and where are they now?
With anger stoked by #Channel4’ s drama #DirtyBusiness, we look at what has happened to some of the main players
Sandra Laville
Fri 13 Mar 2026"Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. #SouthWestWater was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.
"As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the #privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.
"The Guardian examined what some of the main characters are doing today."
[...]
"Sarah Bentley
Bentley was the chief executive of #ThamesWater from September 2020 to June 2023. She joined from Severn Trent and promised an eight-year turnaround for the company, but left with immediate effect after three years following a public outcry over the discharge of #RawSewage into #rivers and missing targets on pollution and sewer flooding."

#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."

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."

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.

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."

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.
