I've written to Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds about the new water white paper 👇

Government must step in to remove Thames Water and South East Water's licences

The privatised water companies have failed and they must be ALLOWED TO FAIL

Open letter: private water companies must be allowed to fail
Open letter: response to the government's white paper on water. There is no market in water, it is a natural monopoly. The public understands this and is sick of broken promises.

“Tell Ed Miliband: UK nature needs more protection, not less, & it's part of tackling the climate crisis”. A new report to facilitate development of nuclear power would make it easier to weaken rules for other sectors & “for developers to damage or destroy our already threatened nature in the UK. “
📢Key protections that UK nature desperately needs are hanging in the balance.

We still have a chance to convince the government otherwise, but we have to act now.

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.

Privatised water is a scam.

I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.
