Thames Water is a test for the British economy.
It profits by ripping off customers.
Pays dividends, doesn't invest.
Since March TW borrowed £1.47bn.
Paid £900m in fees/interest for the emergency financing.

Nigel Farage at a press conference earlier refused to answer further questions about his racism, and instead resorted to just shouting "Bernard Manning" at a reporter from ITV

Not a peep on Kuenssberg's show.
The Farage story seems like it's been wiped in time for the Sunday news round.
No mention of it on @lbc.co.uk at least.
No politicians (I'm aware of) have chimed in throughout the whole thing either.
