The profits are theirs and the losses are ours, privatisation is the biggest con on the British people

"Scottish Water is a statutory corporation, which means it is owned and controlled by the Scottish Government." in saying that we don't have a shortage of water

Starmer will do nothing about anything.

This is 2024 and it’s hard to believe that these despicable people are dumping untreated sewage into rivers and seas😡😡😡😡 I mean come on… corruption is abound greedy greedy selfish people

I use buckets and rain water for flushing. I collect the cold water running from the tap before the hot comes through. Being disabled makes it hard carrying buckets but needs must

Will anything be done? No. Will anyone be held to account? No. Will the taxpayer clear up the mess? Yes. It's way past time that the people negotiated themselves a better deal.

The environment agency has been investigating the water companies since 2021 so 3 years with no end of investigation in sight so no one will be held to account for years if ever....while investigation is ongoing public can't get any information because environment agency says it will prejudice there investigation so we have absolutely no idea how much we are being gouged for,normally information must be released yearly but not so with ongoing investigation

Kick the greedy private sector out of British Water and take it back into State ownership where the money charged to the public cannot be used to purchase yachts and such luxuries by it`s greedy share holders. Do not pay these criminals any more of your hard earned.

That's unrestrained capitalism for you. Need a bit of socialism to balance things out.

The bills are going up under socialism....

The water don't taste like it altah

Labour should stop this. Reform should sort these problems out.

Exactly millions of pounds in bonuses? And not enough clean water to fill my cup? Time to take the water authorities back into the British public domain? Then get rid of executives and shair holders? Recruit new managers? And put them all on performance related weekly wage? No bonuses anymore ( calld streamlining)?.

What do you expect when you increase the population and don’t make provision for the waste water the additional population make. Who wants a sewage treatment plant built near to where they live with all the additional storage capacity for the additional sewage.

My area water company were a customer of mine. Trying to sell to them was like trying to get blood from a stone. At privatisation, they went ballistic, buying and spending money like the stuff they were purifying. Ever since the bills have gone up. Because mother earth provides it.

"I DESERVE my £195,000 bonus because of my excellent performance running Thames Water", said CEO Chris Weston who received the bonus for his work from January to March 2024 boss of the debt-laden, scandal-hit firm. His chief financial officer, Alastair Cochran who had stepped in to be the interim CEO, also received a hefty £446,000 bonus taking his annual salary to £1.33million.

Well in Oxford faeces were running down the Botley Road so not convinced any of the board should be receiving any bonuses

Refuse to pay the rise, sorry you’ve had the money and failed on your contract to improve the system! They can’t put you in jail because we have no jail space left, your money is going straight out to shareholders, time to stand up against corruption, you only get a bonus if you have done a decent job! And it’s should be us the consumer who says if the job is a good’en or not !!!

It's been allowed by every past and present Goverment.I suppose when you retire from politics you need a safety net.

Mines already gone up by £10 a month. I now pay £48 a month for a single person household.

@fazertace6837 maybe it depends on the water company? My mother was offered one but was never in debt. I think it was after her consumption increased when I moved back for a while.

All the bonuses should be stopped ,sorry but it’s down to the company and it’s shareholders to manage the company and they should put up with the losses not Joe Public,they are happy bunnies when they get massive payouts but expect ordinary people to face the losses…

What for making people drink there piss 😮 put that bonus into your lower wage workers , give them a fighting chance , better wages = happy workers

Nice to see Labour getting of to a good start. I'm confident they have our best interests at heart. I'm of for a swim 🏊‍♂️ the water looks so tempting.

@run2cat4run What has that to do with f£££ all. It is a government department. It comes under the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs. So the Rwanda Bill and the Illegal Migration Act can be scrapped but they can do nothing about Ofwat. Cretin. Jog on!

Yay for capitalism

This morning the BBC wrote the headline that bills would increase £95 by 2030. Two hours later they changed it to bills would increase £19 per year by 2030. See the games they play to try to make it appear less alarming?!!

Waste water is a massive issue.. especially in areas that flood regularly. Yes Thames water has a bad name and is going under.. but its one among others all over the UK that have the same exact issue. As for tasting it.. I mean that part just wouldn't happen even when recycled.

'The Environment' is the best cash cow ever.

Tbh nothing is stopping you from putting a bucket outside and collecting rain water lol.

Not forgetting foreign pension funds hem raging cash from the UK

Why would Pesions funds want to invest more into infrastructure .

Of course they get bonus , that’s why they privatised it in the first place

i get charged for 4 cubic metres of usage, but also get charged for 4 cubic metres of sewage charges, but a lot of water goes on watering my plants so do not go down the drain so i am being over charged, there must be a lot of people like that

But remember if we privatise the nhs it will be different

If Labour does not end companies who give huge amounts to share holders and to their own higher management while being completely incompetent then Labour is part of the elitist establishment that also is in it for the personal lucrative salary and perks and SOON.

What should be happening here is the shareholders and water company fat cats should be getting a 21% less bonus,they've spent years of taking all the profits for themselves whilst not investing in the infrastructure there meant to be looking after and now the bill payer yet again picks up the tab for there incompetence and greed

Actually look into who really owns these companies!!!!!!! They are not English!!!!! So they don't care!!!!!

Water needs to be privatised. It used to be. No sewage then. I remember it.
