Thames Water might soon be brought into a Special Administration Regime, but public ownership alone won’t fix a system rigged for private profit. Without real social control, we risk repeating the same mistakes.

The Government said it’d cost £99bn to publicly own our water. But this drew on calculations by — drumroll — water company lobbyists. The true cost is closer to zero. Here’s why. 🧵

It’s always the same - privatise the profits, socialise the losses. They spend decades siphoning wealth off-shore and then everyone else has to bail them out so they don’t run any risk.

What other industry could so brazenly demand immunity from the crimes they commit? If Keir Starmer won't stand up to this blackmail, it's up to us to act. Join the pledge to strike and help put the criminal Thames Water out of business for good 👉 takebackwater.uk

Water firms have already said they'll increase bosses' salaries to get around any ban on bonuses. The only way to end the profiteering is to take water out of private hands.

Imagine working for years to get into politics just to sell out a whole integral bit of infrastructure for £27k.

Can we please call this what it actually is? It's CORRUPTION!

£27,000 *bribe*

Thames Water secured a £3 billion emergency loan three months ago.

Thames Water is a monopoly with 16 million trapped customers. Yet KKR – a predatory private equity firm – doesn't even want to own it. If public ownership isn't the answer and private investors won't invest, then maybe Steve Reed has no idea what he's doing.

“Sources close to the situation told the BBC that the politicisation of the water industry was a major disincentive for investors to put money into the sector.” Customers are scaring multi-billion pound private equity firms off from investing in water. Let's keep it going 👉 takebackwater.uk

KKR drops out of plan to rescue Thames Water. Not even the most predatory private equity firms are interested in this failed utility. Time to take Thames back into public hands.

A brazen lie from Labour. Private owners of water firms have handed themselves £80 billion in recent decades instead of investing. Did Starmer and Reed really think anyone would believe that they'd suddenly decide to invest £104 billion? www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

Govt confirms criminals control England water industry. "Since the privatisation of water and sewerage companies in 1989, all ten Water and Sewerage companies which discharge into English waters have been convicted of criminal offences". Still allowed to fleece people, no end to criminality.
