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.

Going from bad to worse... A matter of weeks ago the stretch of the River Thames at Ham and Kingston designated as a bathing water was reporting E coli levels 6 times over the legal limit, now blue-green algae has appeared.
Short version, stay the hell out of the river.

A prelude of what is to come.
Just you wait until this drought breaks and that inevitable deluge of rain comes and with it million of tons of sh*t getting dumped into our rivers and onto our beaches.
It rained for an hour or so overnight, the first rain we've seen in quite some time.
Yet it was enough for @SouthernWater to release sewage in Hythe, thus rendering their beach unsafe to swim today.

Public anger at the failing water companies is at boiling point.
"Tougher" regulation, as @labourlewis says, isn't going to sort out the mess they've left us in.
We need water in public hands, starting with Thames Water. Take action today: vist.ly/5f4ed

💧 A question for the water companies this morning…
If customers’ existing bills already included money for maintaining pipes and infrastructure, why are consumers now being asked to pay substantially more to fix them?
Investment is essential, but so is accountability.
Consumers deserve to know where the money has gone.

Honestly, if this isn't a polls tax riot moment, we might as well give up, go home & wait to die ffs

We refuse to pay for more sewage in our rivers, hosepipe bans, service cuts, dividends and bonuses
Andy Burnham must say no to any bill hike. IF private water companies can't survive without it, let them go bust
82% of us want public ownership of water. We've had enough of privatisation
Julie Gould retweeted
There is a big MYTH going around that it is unaffordable to take Thames Water into public ownership
If you've ever wondered why this is a myth, we wrote this blog JUST FOR YOU

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.
Julie Gould retweeted
Water companies are trying to hike your water bills AGAIN. Privatisation is not affordable.
@andyburnham must block these bill hikes. Let the water companies that can't survive without hiking our bills GO BUST.
Then we take them into public hands for nothing.
Julie Gould retweeted
When they are not busy paying themselves huge bonuses, Thames Water's bosses are trying to convince the public it would be unaffordable to take them into public ownership
Of course the experts completely disagree

Someone tweeted a TOC last week (?) about a 🚆 carriage rocking & feeling dangerous like there was something wrong. The socials said they should tell the 🚆 manager I think. Almost certain I shared it but I cannot find it today & cannot remember if it was GTR.
Can anyone find it?

We’re an island nation where it rains all fucking year, yet we’re in drought. Water companies are going bust. No new reservoir since 1992. Rivers and seas are full of shit.
If @AndyBurnham won’t use this moment to bring full renationalisation, then it really tells us who he is.
