It's performative. If Steve Reed were really "furious" about water bills, he wouldn't have ruled out renationalisation, or forbidden the Independent Water Commission to recommend it. He enables the filthiest, most parasitic capital to defeat the public interest. theguardian.com

Reed also said he would resign as environment secretary if the government failed to halve sewage pollution in rivers by 2030. Sorry Steve, but at this rate you and all your colleagues are going to get flushed ⬇️🚽in 2029, and resignation will not be in your gift. Why? Because of cowardice like this. Governments are elected to represent the people. Not private equity companies. Not hedge funds. Not foreign sovereign wealth funds and the dictatorships controlling them. But somehow that memo went down the back of Labour's sofa. And will people on this platform please stop reciting the research *funded by the water industry* which claims that renationalisation would be "too expensive"? We should learn to recognise corporate propaganda when we see it. In reality ... theguardian.com
