Is your MP OK with illegal pollution until 2040? Thames Water’s creditors are currently scrambling to take control of the utility.

Are you angry watching #DirtyBusiness on Channel 4?

You should know what Thames Water is doing RIGHT NOW

Its creditors want permission to pollute illegally until 2040 ⁉️

24 Thames Water MPs have written to tell the Minister and @ofwat.bsky.social to say NO πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Public ownership is normal in 9 out of 10 countries

Why didn't Macquarie - the "vampire kangaroo" want to spend money on infrastructure to stop sewage?

"They don't give a shit. They're like dodgy house flippers" #DirtyBusiness

Time to end this extreme ideological experiment

#DirtyBusiness shows water privatisation has FAILED

So why did the government's review of the industry ban the OPTION of public ownership?

Steve Reed must release any messages with Peter Mandelson - whose company Global Counsel worked for privatised water

Swift bricks to be installed on all new buildings in Scotland as MSPs back law Rest of UK has resisted calls to make builders install bricks that provide nesting for swifts and other endangered birds

Great news from Scotland: a LAW to ensure new buildings have swift bricks. (Contrary to Labour spin, there is no law and no guarantees that builders or planners will incorporate bricks in England.)

The beavers are amazing! It's such a shame that the Enfield Beavers, introduced in 2022, will be penned in on three sides by enormous, fortress-like private facilities for Spurs. With the industrial-scale development at Whitewebbs Park, the Beavers will be enclosed by fences and floodlit pitches.

Privatisation not the problem for England’s water, says author of review Architect of government’s water plan says nationalisation might not fix everything and the current system can work

England's ideological privatisation IS the first problem to solve

THEN we can build on best practice from around the world

"With public ownership, we could have households and anti-sewage groups on the boards of water companies to make them truly accountable"

Government’s wildlife targets will be missed in England, watchdog says Seven out of 10 targets have little likelihood of being met by 2030, Office for Environmental Protection says

Utterly damning report from Office for Environmental Protection - the Govt’s not only missing its targets to protect wildlife in England, it’s also failing on *almost all* environmental measures - and in some cases actively destroying the natural world through its obsession with growth at all costs

New polling: majority of Thames Water customers want Ofwat to reject creditors’ proposal for the utility New polling has revealed that 54% of Thames Water customers think Ofwat should reject a deal proposed by Thames Water's creditors, and put it into special administration.

🚨Thames Water is on the brink of collapse.

πŸ™‹We asked its customers what should happen next.

54% think the water regulator Ofwat should put it into special administration. And over two thirds (68%) believe that Thames Water should be run in the public sector.

🧡A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero

1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!
