Thames Water administration call from Lib Dem leader

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has criticized Thames Water's management, suggesting the company should be placed into administration. During a visit to Berkshire, Davey built a raft and used this stunt to highlight the issues facing the water company. Davey argues that Thames Water has failed to address the ongoing problems of sewage pollution and water leaks across its network. He believes that the company's leadership has been ineffective and that placing it into administration could lead to better management and investment in infrastructure. The Liberal Democrat leader's criticism comes amid growing public concern over the environmental impact of Thames Water's operations. The company has faced scrutiny over its handling of sewage discharges and its ability to maintain its water supply network. While Davey's raft-building demonstration may be seen as a publicity stunt, his call for action highlights the broader issues facing the water industry and the need for improved accountability and oversight.
