Do we want #PaulSinger, the #billionaire #Trump #donor, to own #ThamesWater, @thegreenparty? NO! All the #public #utilities should be re-nationalised NOW, including the #water #companies.
@llanciawn @thegreenparty He's got #billions, & I very much doubt that #ThamesWater can be put out of his #price range that way. He has to be legally prevented from buying the #firm!
Juggling With Eggs‘Lena Swedlow, the deputy director of Compass, a centre-left campaign group with close links to #Burnham, said:
“These people do not have any interest or business running a water company. They are not utility providers, they are vulture capitalists. They should be allowed nowhere near resources that are important for our health, our planet and our national security.”
‘Clive Lewis, the Labour MP for #Norwich South and a leading advocate of returning the ##water industry to public ownership, said handing over #ThamesWater to the likes of Singer and #ElliottManagement would be like “throwing red meat to the wolves”.
“The fact that he is known as a vulture capitalist should tell you everything about how inappropriate this deal is … these kinds of people are there to suck the life blood out of our utilities and public services”
