Mark#Labour used “economically illiterate” analysis paid for by #water companies to argue against nationalisation of the sector in #England
Official letter sent to anti-sewage groups, civil servants cited a paper by the #SocialMarketFoundation as reason to avoid nationalisation. The report from 2018 was commissioned by #UnitedUtilities, #AnglianWater, #SevernTrent and #SouthWestWater.

Sadly, in a capitalist system they can get away with harming the natural world and everyone's access to swimming with impunity, it's only when they cause a financial impact that we have a chance of stopping them. We should seize it anyway.
I wonder how Imogen May, who had part of her home value seized after withholding her water bill to #SouthWestwater since 2019 in protest, is getting on. I hope she's okay

No swim warning in #Exmouth after major #SouthWestWater sewage spill
In #England & #Wales '#WaterCompanies are unlawfully dumping raw #sewage into our waters, forcing swimmers across the country to lose their right to swim.
Jo Bateman is one of those swimmers. We’re supporting her to take legal action against #SouthWestWater.
Jo’s swims have become frequently disrupted by unlawful sewage spills so she’s decided to take legal action for everyone who wants to protect their right to swim.'

Imogen May has been withholding water payments since 2019 in protest at sewage dumping by South West Water.
"This is about using my place of privilege as a homeowner to push the boundaries,” she said. “It’s about necessity – unless we challenge them and show them that we’re not frightened of them, they will continue to do what they’re doing.”
