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 and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

204,000 net is MUCH lower than most predictions based on restrictive changes made to immigration rules over the last 2 years.
This is having a DIRECT impact on fiscal headroom, projected growth & deficit & what cuts & tax rises Reeves is making.
