Fined at least 223 times since 2010, paid £8m. Still committing crimes, bosses rewarded, shareholders enriched.
Revoke its licence. Nationalise water.

This ought to be a joke
There is no "market solution" because there is NO MARKET
We don't want new board members or "local representation" we want PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Let Thames Water go bust, slash the debt, take it back permanently

A Huge fire has broken out at a hotel in Wembley, believed to be housing asylum seekers, just yards from Wembley Stadium.
If this was done intentionally, which i strongly suspect it was, by some racist far-right thugs - i hope @metpoliceuk deal with them robustly.
Hope everyone is OK.
This is on Farage, Restore, MSM, GBNEWS - the bloody lot.
PM vows to save “hollowed out high streets” with crackdown on vape and betting shops.
High street has hollowed out because people lack purchasing power.

This summer we have seen several frontier AI models break free from constraints during voluntary testing.
AI presents enormous opportunities but also potentially grave risks for our security and safety.
That's why I've written to the Government calling for stronger safeguards👇
Strong growth numbers for the first half of the year. This was not inevitable.
It is because of the resilience of the British economy and the responsible action taken since the election to deliver stability, investment and reform.
Lots done, more to do.
"Now people are asking aloud: why is Burnham ignoring what is in front of his face – the devastating impact of climate breakdown on the country and its citizens?"
The silence is deafening, cowardly and unacceptable

10 years ago today, Andy Murray beat Juan Martín del Potro in the final of the Rio Olympic Games, defending his title won 4 years prior...
This will forever be the absolute BEST 4 set match of all time in my opinion. Just fabulous. ❤️
Well, well, well.
The Lib Dems bleat about the state of the NHS.
Weren't they part of the Tory coalition that devastated the NHS?
The same coalition that wasted £billions on the Lansley reforms & started the slide to record waiting lists.
Believe they were

I'll bet you these projects will never see a large chunk of that money.
We pay for the system through our bills. Yet almost 1/3 of them go to returns for investors and creditors.
We pay for the infrastructure, for the debt, for the profits. And they keep asking for more.
The only way to end this is public ownership.
England water companies to hike customer bills by an extra £3.4bn.
1 trillion litres of water lost to leaky pipes
Sewage dumped in rivers
No new reservoirs since 1989

Still allowed fleece customers.

I think it would be kind and fair to acknowledge that @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP played a leading role in ensuring that the UK economy grew 0.4% in Q2, on top of 0.6% in Q1.
Thank you.

Britain must prepare for El Niño.
The UK is built for a climate which no longer exists.
We need to grow more of our own food and prepare towns and workplaces for extreme heat.
When climate shocks hit, public power must protect people so profiteers can't exploit crises.
