Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000 Most recorded visits are for smaller debts, data from England and Wales suggests, though method of recovery is a postcode lottery

Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.

Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments

Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished

Emma Walmsley’s pay rose almost 50% to £15.6m in final year as GSK boss Bulk of 2025 renumeration came from share bonuses as drug company’s now former CEO benefitted from stock rise

GSK CEO got 50% pay rise to £15.6m.

The state devoted to welfare of the super rich.

Thank you! 🙏 😊
