The America vulture capitalists now running Thames Water are trumpeting Liz Barber, former CEO of Yorkshire Water, as the new saviour of the company.

Would that be the same Liz Barber who put up customer's bills by 41% and then refused to give up her own bonus? Of course it would.

Liz Barber was paid £1.32 million in her final year as CEO of Yorkshire Water.

🚨BREAKING NEWS

The regulator has provisionally approved more water bill increases.

This comes at a time when we are dealing with hosepipe bans; 10,000 homes don't have water in London; and only 14% of our rivers are in good ecological status

Privatisation has failed. Nationalise water.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Thatcher’s privatisation experiment sold off Britain’s strategic national assets, many ending up in foreign ownership.

Instead of creating national wealth, it enabled private monopolies to extract it. Consumers have faced ever-rising bills while infrastructure has been allowed to decay, as shareholder returns and executive bonuses too often took precedence over long-term investment.

Essential national services should serve the public interests, not financial markets.

Unbelievable rip off

Our water is a natural monopoly but it's been sold off and handed out to shareholders around the world

We are a guaranteed revenue stream

Any government that cares about sewage and cost of living should be taking EVERY water company into special administration and PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP whenever they fail to fulfil their statutory duties (which they do often)

Labour MPs, whipped by the Prime Minister, have tonight voted to undermine and restrict a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy - the right to trial by jury. It’s a shameful act of constitutional vandalism which the PM has no mandate for. His government has not produced a shred of credible evidence to support its claim it’s needed to reduce the courts backlog - in fact the Institute for Government has found the plan to replace jury trials with judge-only trials would save less than 2% of total Crown Court time.

There is still time to stop this. The battle is just beginning

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

Over 6,000 farm business have shut since Labour came into power. And many of them because of Rachel Reeves & the Labour government lying about the “£22bn black hole” - used to justify the inheritance tax on family farms. Thousands of farm businesses shut because of a lie.

@HotelChocolat @Ritawatts46Rita you would love this 😍

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

No decent government would ever allow this to happen…or indeed, help to facilitate over 6,000 farm businesses to shut on their watch.

Food security is one of the fundamental pillars of a strong society. The Labour government are putting a wrecking ball through it.

[No to Digital ID @NoToDigitalID]

The purpose of Digital ID has changed about 4 times in the past month.

They will say anything to make you think it’s convenient- don’t let them fool you.

Reject Digital ID.

"Shameful"

The Inquiry hears from expert virologist Prof. Deenan Pillay that the Government chose to spend billions on private consultants from Deloitte instead of listening to experts.

The labs they set up have since been dismantled.

'We've been left with nothing'.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Staggering profiteering from the 5 main private companies providing cataract removals to the NHS.

£169 million in 2023-24 alone. A profit margin of 32%.

This is taxpayers' money being squandered on vast private payouts.

Efficiency, @wesstreeting?

[Keep Our NHS Public @keepnhspublic]

In or near London tomorrow?

Please join us outside parliament to let the Prime Minister know that further privatisation of our NHS is NOT the way forward!

Join NHS staff & campaigners in sending government a powerful message ✊💙

Please repost! 🙏

Private equity decimated emergency care in the US.

UK sleepwalking into the same disaster.

GP surgeries, care homes, hospital units handed to private equity - devours everything for profits, asset-stripping, debt, low wages, staff cuts, poor care.
