Are they actually joking ⁉️

5 private water companies want permission to raise your bills EVEN HIGHER

💧Bills already went up £10/month in April💧

There is no market, the rip off won't end until we end privatisation

Start by taking back Thames Water

In December, Ofwat approved average bills going up 36% by 2030 - that's £597 a year.

🤑But for the water companies, that's not enough! Shareholders want more of your money, so they're appealing for even bigger bill increases.

END THE SCAM. Public ownership of water, starting with Thames Water.

Thames Water's bidders ask to be excused from fully complying with rules on pollution until 2035-40.

Rule of law?

Anything given to TW can't be denied to others. Sewage will be dumped. Customers will be fleeced. Returns will be extracted.

One law for corporations, another for lesser mortals.
Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules
Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040

Thames Water creditors offering to save their own skins with 25% debt write off while carrying on polluting your rivers for the next 15 years?!

😡This must be stopped!

Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.

⌛Time's running out for Thames Water.

The failing company will likely be put into a Special Administration Regime, a form of temporary nationalisation.

The government must then keep Thames in public hands.

Great support from @stevewitherdenmp. Get your MP to sign the pledge today 👇

82% of us want publicly owned water. If MPs truly represent us, they must reflect OUR views.

It's great to have @iqbalmohamedmp with us in this fight.

The PFI disaster

Wes Streeting readies more of the NHS for privatisation. Hands £6m to advisers.

NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to private equity and corporations. Profits guaranteed.

Money will buy less. Higher taxes, lower value.

Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

Defra's new statement about the cost of nationalising water fails to recognise

💧1/3 of water bills goes to debt and dividends

Government doubles down on £100 billion water nationalisation price tag – but are they coming clean on the true cost of publicly owned water?
The current cost is based on a discredited report funded by the private water companies.
