We're subjected to sewage pollution, hosepipe bans, water outages and bill increases.

They take that money and pay themselves bonuses and dividends.

Kent is looking like a petri dish today after @SouthernWater poured sewage into our sea and rivers following the rain.

Whitstable has seen 17 hours of sewage in the last 24 hours.

Recent figures suggest that @thameswater are £20bn in debt, with over £10bn paid in dividends since privatisation.

They also owe their own parent company an estimated £3.8bn with interest up to 10% annually on that loan.

It is a government-backed cash machine for investors.

@SOSWhitstable Yes! I’d like to know how much money they have taken out the company, to pay bonuses and dividends. Would they still be afloat, if they hadn’t fraudulently rewarded themselves?

"Thames Water asks for £2.4bn more to avoid going bust this year or early 2027"

They are environmentally insolvent and this isn't sustainable. Our bills will increase to pay for this. Let them go bust and take them back.

The chorus of Labour MPs calling for public ownership of water continues.

Congratulations to @SOSWhitstable and Kevin McKenna for a successful action on the Thames yesterday

We've had it with greedy water companies extracting billions and dumping sewage in our rivers

Public ownership now!
