Greens would nationalise SE Water and Thames Water without paying compensation, says deputy leader – UK politics live

Rachel Millward tells Brighton conference: “Forget compensation for shareholders and creditors, these are insolvent companies” She calls for national takeover of South East Water and Thames Water, without compensation for shareholders. She tells conference: Burnham’s 10 year plan of gentle threats and vague notions of control is not enough. Too many of our water companies have already failed. Right here in Sussex, we too often find ourselves driving to pick up bottled water because nothing is coming out of our taps.
