Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.
Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.
Privatisation = Abuses and insanity.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
No end to nightmare without public ownership.

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

What a stitch up.
For those following England's ongoing experiment with Mayoral 'devolution, confirmation is expected today from the Govt that elections in four of the six 'devolution priority programme' areas will be delayed until 2028 (the remaining 2 areas had already pushed back the date to 2027) #devolution
New mayoral elections to be delayed in four areas of England
The new mayoralties in Greater Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, Hampshire and the Solent, and Sussex and Brighton will now be contested in 2028.

The truth … not enough hospital beds is the cause of A&E delays … political failure & NHS leaders complicit with them
Jan 23 Rishi Sunak promised 5000 more PERMANENT hospital beds.
NHSE leaders in Dec 23 said that there were added.
There are 400 fewer beds now than when he made that announcement!

Okay, here we go.
Health & care staff are no longer allowed a Covid booster, but they're still expected to look after COVID+ patients.
NHS/govt is reneging on its duty of care. Staff will become unwell, and patients too will suffer.
