Tomorrow Thames Water creditors plan to approve £2.4 billion bailout at expense of households Today the Chancellor will promise "breathing space" #Budget2026 That should mean NO water bill rises NO bailout for Thames Water Let them run out of cash, take them back @andyburnham.bsky.social

Privatisation has failed This Thursday 29th Oct shady Thames Water execs will meet dodgy US hedge funds to agree a £2.4 BILLION bailout that *households will pay for through increased bills* @andyburnham.bsky.social has 3 DAYS to step in and STOP THE BAILOUT, take back Thames Water

theguardian.comUK government to make unprecedented intervention in setting of water billsExclusive: Angela Eagle tells utility bosses next price review ‘must focus on value for money for customers’

Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills. If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.
