This is not the solution π€¬ Changing the sign on the regulatorβs office building will not reverse the damage of 35 years of privatisation! ONLY public ownership will do that. β

Cleaner, Cheaper, Fairer. Read the People's Commission on Water - which DID look at ownership models, international evidence and what it will take to conserve and protect our water. https://t.co/uMQdFlKw1D

A reminder that we cannot have this in London, not only because the Thames is too polluted, but also because we have left the tidal Thames in the sole hands of an unaccountable legacy organisation founded in 1908 called the Port of London Authority (@LondonPortAuth) which

Today's pollution figures are highly disappointing. The water industry, environmental regulators, Government should be ashamed. RIVERS DO MATTER. Short film shows why. @RiverActionUK @BBCLookNorth @itvcalendar @itvnews @TheRiverSummit @Channel4News @ActivistAnglers @WATERSHED_i
