NEW: water bills to rise by 36%.

After handing billions to shareholders and building up a mountain of debt, water firms have had the green light to hike prices and bail themselves out.

Instead of making customers foot the bill, we should be putting the failed water industry out its misery.

I’m off today to speak at the London Federation of Housing Cooperatives about a model my housing co-op developed for cooperation amongst cooperatives, where established housing co-ops support emergent co-ops to set up or expand, cutting out the banks & their shareholders.

Hello BlueSky!
It’s telling that this piece is written by a privileged millennial, self reflecting about their own good fortune and that of her mates. I suppose no one writing for the Guardian knows anyone poor.
A very important read and it's desperately annoying that it's a taboo even in most parts of the left!
For all abstract definitions of "class" it's clearly the case that it's essentially inheritance and / or easy access to capital.
Once defined can be reformed!
