Thames Water rescue deal at risk amid UK leadership uncertainty

Private equity delays Thames Water bid, fears change in Prime Minister and possible nationalisation. TW is bankrupt, abuses people. Must be nationalised at knockdown price. Finance industry is using its financial power to influence political choice for the people.

Excellent news Thames Water's own shareholders have walked away, unaccountable US creditors are offering illegal sewage until 2030 Special administration now, slash the debt, then permanent public ownership so it can work for households and environment www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Thames Water workers have had two years of uncertainty. A short-term private sector fix will not cut it. Water needs long term stability to clean up the environment and guarantee jobs. We need to bring Thames Water back into public ownership.

Thames Water's creditors want to set a new low for privatised water by asking Ofwat to sign off on a deal which allows them to break the rules. Ofwat are poised to agree. We can't let them. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-...

This is one of the many problems with #Labour: acting like #Tories & have no idea what the public really want! #ThamesWater must not be rescued, wasting millions of public money, they should be nationalised instead. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

🚨 Burnham's first triumph? Pushing the den of thieves that is #ThamesWater back into public ownership... 👍 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Latest gang of corporate leeches unhappy at the potential for their leeching being hindered? Shame. And as @goodlawproject have shown, the government's argument that it would be too costly to the taxpayer to re-nationalise is bogus. End the scam! #WeOwnIt

"Ministers are negotiating a takeover deal for the stricken water company with a consortium of creditors led by American investment firm Elliott Management." 15+ yrs of Private Ownership FAILURE & these arseclowns want it perpetuated!! F*ck Starmer. F*ck Labour. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Ha ha. This is brilliant news. The Thatcherites in Starmers govt hv been foiled www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... These thieves don't want rescuing, they need re-nationalising; with NO compensation; fining/prison for directors for polluting the rivers they supposedly protecting,

Disaster indeed. Two big 🇨🇦 public sector pension fund managers own big shares of Thames Water - OMERS has 32% and BCI had 8.7%. So it’s seen as a cautionary tale for both the privatization of utilities AND the investment in such utilities by pensions (TW is now worthless).

Thames Water rescue deal threatened by uncertainty over next prime minister. Potential investors fear Andy Burnham could push to bring utility companies into public ownership. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

All Burnham mentioned is _control_ of privatised utilities. Water, as a local resource should be owned and controlled by local Government. Meanwhile the secret plan is to keep control in the hands of those who’d dump private failure onto bills for the public. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Why is there even a deal on the table? Thames Water is basically insolvent and its only way out is to accept a buyout on crap terms that make no business sense and force the customers to pick up the tab. It’s only happening because it has a monopoly. Any regular business would’ve sunk decades ago.
