Thames Water risks being forced into special administration.
40% price hike. Doubling of operating profit, sewage in rivers.
Era of water poverty - 8.5% of the TW customers are on bills subsidised by those who are paying their charges, 4% not paying bills at all.
It's a scam.

Poppy Coburn from the Telegraph was on Newsnight last night, calling for Labour to flat-out pivot to rejoin the EU.
It wasn't just a passing comment. She pushed the idea strongly for several minutes.

🔻 UK cannot rejoin single market while tied to Trump-model pharma and IP regime.
🔻 UK cannot negotiate SPS alignment or customs union if it’s diverging through live U.S. negotiation.
🔻 UK cannot pursue “reset” if it is signing away regulatory sovereignty piecemeal.
This is the smoking gun 😡

Britain is 8% smaller bc of Brexit.
We will stay smaller if the Government continues to lock us into US regulatory orbit while pretending we’re edging back to Europe.
It’s time to stop managing decline and start reversing it. And that begins with honesty.

“If UK chooses U.S.-style pharmaceutical rules, it is clearly not aligning with the European model.”
“This will make regulatory cooperation much harder.”

1️⃣ The pharma deal is beginning of a much larger U.S. takeover of UK standards.
Trump officials explicitly say pharma is:
“the first domino”, “proof UK will move quickly to align with U.S. regulatory norms”
That alone is devastating.
