Thames Water is teetering but wants to pay £2.5m bonus to execs.
Wants to bypass regulations by classifying bonuses as "retention payments".
Prices rose by 31%+ this year. Sewage dumped in rivers, leaks unplugged.

I asked someone why bosses get 100x the pay when they don't do 100x the work.
They said 'because they take 100x the risk'.
No they don't. The point of a ltd company (a 200+ yr old innovation) separates business liability from personal to *limit* risk.
If the worker doesn't get paid, they starve.

Before 1965 companies in the UK paid Income Tax, just like a person.
That would mean they would all now be paying 47% tax, not the 25% Corporation Tax they pay now.
On top of that they paid an extra 10% profit tax.
So they'd be paying 52.3% tax instead of 25% if it was 1960.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Because it won't lower House prices or rents.
And it won't make food or energy cheaper.
