Thames Water creditors ask England watchdog to pause fines for sewage dumping, unplugged leaks.

They don't want to end profiteering, cash extraction, undeserved exec pay.

The industry is financially, morally and environmentally bankrupt.

Only public ownership can end the abuses.

I’ve signed this - please sign before the deadline tomorrow 22nd.
⏰The Govt have under 2 weeks to block the bailout of Thames Water.

📑25,000 people have signed the petition to take Thames Water into public ownership.

#Thames has failed and shouldn't be rewarded with a £3 billion bailout.

Agree? Sign our petition

Why did Alan Mak, the Shadow Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, accept £20,000 from Yan Huo, co-founder of Capula Investment Management, which has millions of dollars' worth of investments in private healthcare and pharmaceutical companies?

Magnificently (& appropriately) savage from @tompeck.bsky.social on Matt Hancock’s nauseatingly self-serving performance at the Covid Inquiry yesterday.

He repeated the lies about the NHS not being overwhelmed (it was) & there being no national shortage of PPE (there was).
