England water bosses’ pay rises despite bonus ban - public fury over bills & pollution. All circumventing rules, reclassifying bonuses as retention payments, making payments through other companies in the group. Govt was forewarned. Why no enforcement, fines, prosecutions?

I’ve joined Oxfam in setting out five tests for the new Prime Minister’s first 100 days. These first decisions will set the direction for years to come. Words are easy, but the real test is the choices made in the weeks ahead. www.oxfam.org.uk/get-involved...

Water companies reclassify bonus as retention payments, circumvent rules. Anglian Water CEO gets £1.3m retention pay. AW won't meet its regulatory targets. 44% rise in customer bills, sewage in rivers, 182m litres a day lost to leaks, criminal convictions. Govt/Ofwat do nothing. archive.ph/kmZz8

Thames Water increased its bonus payouts to £4.1m for senior managers. It has £19.7bn debt, fleeces customers, dumps sewage in rivers, loses billions of litres of water to leaky pipes. Numerous criminal convictions, licence not revoked. But bosses rewarded .. for what? Govt/Ofwat do nothing.

UK income tax personal allowance frozen at £12,570 since 2021. If increased in line with inflation, it would be £16,048 for 2026/27. As a result, in 2026/27 someone earning £17,000 will pay additional £696 in income tax and £278 in national insurance. All because govts appease the rich.

Who benefits from god given resources? Definitely not the people of the UK. All oil & gas extraction is sold for the highest profit not to provide the people with affordable fuel.

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested.

Frightening as the uk government has the same in mind. Already laws have been introduced & used for those charged prior to their introduction with the judge banning clarifying of why the defendants were charged & the reasoning behind what they did, their barrister was also hamstrung by the court.

Meanwhile, in the US. It just takes your breath away. *50 years* in prison for protesting. Don't imagine for one moment that we are immune to this.

It’s more than a little ironical that Genocide only became a crime (in International law) after the Second World War and the Holocaust that Jewish people suffered at the hands of the Nazis…..and now Israel, the Jewish state - is itself committing Genocide, on the Palestinian people.

Every one of the once public owned companies that were given to the private sector have been money making schemes for their shareholders & bonus earning CEO’s. From BOAC/BA to all of the water companies they have made huge profits some while making losses. Totally unacceptable #PrivateSector #Money

South East Water losing 100m litres of water a day to leaks. There are no pristine water companies in England. All dump sewage in rivers, neglect investment, prioritised dividends, fleece customers, fines announced, not collected. Must remove profit motive. Nationalise all.

Smoke & mirrors.

I was head of the so-called Middle East Peace Process section in the UK Foreign Office when Netanyahu was PM first time round. It was obvious then that he was poisonous, determined to prevent a two state solution, and to seize more Palestinian land. Corrupt, immoral, ruthless and brutal.
