This morning, the Financial Times reported that Thames Water is about to agree a deal with OFWAT (the water regulator).

If this deal goes ahead, Thames Water will be able to dump sewage freely until 2030.

We've drafted an open letter to Ofwat and the Environment Secretary, urging them to reject the deal.

Can you take 2 mins to email our MP asking him to sign this open letter?

NO to Thames Water - email your MP

Referendum for water! Please sign.

The government has said we can't take our water industry out of the hands of the private owners who have made such a mess of it. Owners who have extracted over £85 billion from our bills in exchange for putting in nothing, while loading companies with debt they did not need.

According to our government, we have to keep playing their game and paying for it and bail the companies out when they fail.

The government has told NGOs they can't even talk about it because it is not on the table, for reasons that have been shown to be untrue.

That cannot be right, so it is time to shine a bright light on the water scandal.

Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership
