Was I scared when I started TOMS? Absolutely. I was terrified of failing. I was scared of running out of money. I was scared people would think my idea was silly. Fear is the constant companion of anyone trying to start something that matters.

This is difficult to watch, it's embarrassing, it's enraging, it's shameful. Emma Reynolds the Secretary of State for the Environment and David Hill the head of water at Defra appeared before MPs on Tuesday where they repeated the same old lie, that water company shareholders invest their money in the companies and we, the bill payers, pay them back over 10, 15, 20, 30 years. Even Ofwat have owned up, that's a lie the £104 billion "private sector investment" is coming directly out of your pockets, your bank account. For God sake just tell the truth. Barry Gardiner, you're a star. 👏👏👏
Barry Gardiner MP@BarryGardiner

Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt. Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers. So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?

Thames Water's reply to a customer @robJGray82 about sewage spewing into the street. "Hydraulic overload", they say. That of course translates as we spanked all the money we should have invested in the sewage system, paid it all to shareholders and managers, inflated salaries, bonuses etc and that's why the company is now £20 billion in debt which you'll have to pay for, again. "Hydraulic overload". Really!
