Thames Water - comment

Hopes that the plan would be accepted on a lower administrative path have been dashed. Environment Secretary Reynolds has reportedly written an open letter and will be speaking in parliament today about the “poor” deal. On Thursday, the Greater Manchester constituency of Makerfield will be holding by-elections. The working-class constituency that favours both Brexit and Andy Burnham could tip the balance against PM Starmer and thwart the carefully constructed utility deal at the last hurdle. The deal is now a little less under control than it was meant to be.
