South West Water dumps sewage over 1,000 times in three days; 16,538 times since the start of 2025.

Predatory practices boost corporate profits, dividends and exec pay.

Companies fleece customers, don't deliver investment.

Nothing will change without ending profit motive.

Labour’s 1.5m homes will be dominated by private equity firms charging huge rents.

Profiteering, high debt, substandard service, tax dodges are private equity norm.

Let councils, not-for-profit organizations build homes.

Don't deregulate. Build homes, not slums.

British Gas is Britain’s worst energy supplier for customer service.

Customer exploitation is normalized.
