Thames Water boss ordered to tell MPs if executives received bonus payments
Chris Weston, CEO of Britain’s biggest water company, faces questions over ‘paused’ executive bonus scheme
The chief executive of Thames Water has been ordered to tell MPs whether any executives have received payments from a controversial bonus package taken from a £3bn loan.
So the company is short of funds, takes a load of billions from the government and then uses part of that money to pay multi millions of £ out in bonuses to UNDER PERFORMING MANAGEMENT who made a mess of it.

Spain’s blackout story is disintegrating
Opinion by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard

'He can’t help himself': Trump tells a new 'unnecessary' lie
Story by Adam Lynch
Asked about Republican plans to cut food aid to low-income families, President Donald Trump gave what MSNBC producer Steve Benen described as “a rambling and dishonest answer” that included the sentence: “Energy’s down … Gasoline? They’re now buying — they’re buying gasoline now for $1.99.”
This, according to Benen, was a lie — and an unnecessary one at that.
