Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters & raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

There needs to be a campaign to prevent the government purchasing closed source software. They are committing crimes against taxpayers.
Using taxpayer money to buy bespoke platforms WHICH WE STILL DON'T OWN, is like paying a builder to build your house, and then the builder OWNS the house.
