What is happening at Thames Water isn't complicated, they are taking debts to themselves at massive interest rates so they don't make any profits, it is all 'debt repayment' and isn't taxed.
On top of that they are then being allowed to increase bills to pay these fake debts.

Trump will probably do the hokey cokey on this lot of tariffs as well. No point in jumping every time he farts.

Only the richest 4% of people pay Inheritance Tax.
Only the richest 1.5% of farmers will pay HALF Inheritance Tax spread over 10 years.
This is a protest funded by the obscenely wealthy who want to pay no tax at all.

I hear that Trump left the Super Bowl early because he had a bundle riding on KC to win.
That and he couldn't take the humiliation of being repeatedly booed by the crowd.
Strangely, it seems Fox had some mic trouble and they kept cutting out every time.

Lord Bamford owes £500,000,000 to HMRC he has retired from the House of Lords and fled.
He expects his debt just like Michelle Mone's £232,000,000 debt to be written off.
We must recover every penny from these thieves, and toss them in jail.

This is what should happen. It won't, of course, because all major UK political parties are too far down the rabbit hole of dubious finance.
“All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations. This would, by necessity mean no donations from private companies; PLCs, LTDs..”

Baroness Charlotte Owen's supposedly can’t be discussed in the press because of a super injunction.
The only reason for a super injunction would be because she is in fact Johnson’s daughter.
She and all the other unqualified grifters need to be kicked out of the House of Lords
