Thames Water's shareholders have walked away. It's being propped up by US hedge funds who REALLY don't care about its 16 million customers.
The government needs to intervene, put it into Special Administration, then take it into public ownership.

ENOUGH. It is now more important than ever that this government intervenes on behalf of households.

Kudos to #BBCSouth explaining simply with the use of garden tools how sewage can go directly into rivers and streams and how we should stop it - #watercompanies in the south are 2 stars or less in terms of environmental performance with #ThamesWater only 1 star - they have a lot of work to do

Lenders eye ballout, higher bills to make money.

❓ Cost of Living & Devolution (will wait for the budget).
