Not quite @UKLabour @SteveReedMP You are rebooting the thatcher privatisation model and it’s the customer who is cleaning up the sewage crisis through increased bills, while also servicing water company debts and providing profits/bonuses. Full public inquiry required
Proud of this brilliant team that have steered the Water (Special Measures) Bill through Parliament. This government is cleaning up the Tory sewage crisis.

Wow, so https://t.co/oS9v0CwkDv is now live for all English water companies. And I think it's fair to say England is looking rather sh*tty today... An important platform... well done @AlexGLipp for making this happen.
