If you're one of Thames Water's 16 million so-called "customers" the money from your bills should be spent on investment to tackle sewage, not wasted on expensive creditors and shareholders
Here's how to end the rip off and get PUBLIC OWNERSHIP 👇

Most Black Country residents live within a mile of open water, making water safety more important than ever💧
Last week, we welcomed @RLSSUK to a Sandwell session as part of the Black Country Water Safety Programme.
Hear from Charity Director Matt Croxall on why this matters👇
Hi @WolvesCouncil did you know about this fallen tree at the top of Newhampton Rd? Currently blocking pavement but may obstruct carriageway too if it topples any further

“Aren’t you scared of swimming with sharks?” 🦈🌊
People keep asking me that since I started #TheSharkSwim.
And yes – I am.
But you know what scares me more?
A world without sharks.
They’ve survived 5 mass extinctions.
Now we’re wiping them out.
As apex predators, they keep the ocean in balance. No sharks = no healthy ocean.
That’s why I’m swimming.
Not to fear them.
To fight for them.
Sharks aren’t villains.
They’re vital.

Our analysis of over 70,000 NHS outsourcing contracts given out between 2012 and 2024 reveals that private firms made £6.7 billion in profits from NHS contracts over that period.
That means they made £10 million a week from NHS contracts.

Feargal Sharkey's right.
Govt quote water industry-funded report stating nationalising water would cost £100 bn. Moody's reckon the figure is more like £14.5bn.
82% of us want water in public hands.

'We need to take the profit margin out and break these companies up.'
@Feargal_Sharkey believes that water companies should be 're-nationalised' as he calls for a 'radical reform' of the regulartory systems.
