Why has legal action not been taken against the Directors of Thames Water?
It is illegal for a company to pay out dividends or trade while insolvent under the Companies Act 2006, S 830: If a company is insolvent, it means it does not have sufficient distributable profits, and thus, paying dividends would be illegal. Directors who authorise such payments can be held personally liable to repay the unlawfully distributed dividends.
Insolvency Act 1986:Wrongful Trading (Section 214): Directors can be held personally liable if they continue to trade when they knew, or ought to have concluded, that there was no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation.
Legal Consequences for
Directors engaging in trading while insolvent or authorise unlawful dividend payments can face the below:
- Personal liability for company debts
- Disqualification from serving as a director for up to 15 years
- Criminal charges, particularly in cases of fraudulent trading
If I were elected MP for #Epsom #Ewell #Ashtead and #Leatherhead I would be pursuing this!

@ValeSais @mtpennycook@AngelaRayner We also need to consider WHERE in the country these new homes are built. We have thousands of new homes in my area and loads of properties on the market. Where exactly is this shortage? Maybe we need to entice people here but for that we need jobs!
How much do you know about the IEA? In the media a lot? Inspired Truss & Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-budget? Right-wing? And... a registered charity?
We’ve teamed up with a cross-party group of politicians to demand the Charity Commission take action.

@jayrayner1@mencap_charity@ObsFood Thanks for raising this issue. Busy restaurants have told us the wheelchair would get in the way so won’t accept our booking. If we do manage to get in, tables often have slats or legs that won’t allow a wheelchair user to sit near enough to the table. It’s a nightmare.
2mins of Hashi Mohamed absolutely smashing the Conservatives Rwanda policy to bits.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
‘Our learned judges said the Home Office hadn’t even assessed that policy before adopting it
It’s unviable, it’s expensive & the only people it’s going to work for is the Rwandans’ #BBCQT
Thanks to @mlgillard
This excerpt (undated) appears to state that none of the production plants will be in the UK @LiamFox
It states they intend to be in Latin America, Europe, Turkey, China & Sweden.
I may be wrong, would welcome clarification
This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker#ImWithGary#MOTD#ToryFascists
@BBCNews Because it highlights the abject hypocrisy of BBC, having to speak to a sports presenter because his opinion expressed on his personal Twitter account doesn’t align with government propaganda. Meanwhile their chairman was appointed on basis of facilitating a loan for the ex pM.
Important to note how close to complete the Brexit right’s stranglehold on the UK media now is. How else could a *sports broadcaster* with a big Twitter following have them all clutching their pearls & clucking like chickens? It’s not dissent they’re terrified of, it’s the truth.
If you don't want refugees living in hotels, tell our govt to process their claims so they can work. If you love our country treat those less fortunate with dignity and respect. It’s not hard.
@BBC_HaveYourSay Why is no one mentioning the closure of cottage hospitals over the past 10 years or so? Surely the loss of these step down beds is part of this current problem? How many beds have been lost?
@guardian So what exactly did the party goers, sorry, attendees, say they were doing there that the Met can’t disprove despite the food, drink and general merriment on display? Pass the Peerage maybe? 🤬
