Feargal Sharkey, Richard Foord and Paul Arnott comment on Susan Davy’s jackpot pay rise on “X”.
But first a word from outgoing MP Simon Jupp (March 5 2024):
“Thanks to this Conservative Government, we finally have the tools to hold South West Water to account.”
Just who is he kidding?
You are watching the last days of Rome
“Taps turned on for Pennon chief’s pay despite surge in water pollution. Remuneration package for Susan Davy up 58%”.
Now you know. Poison a whole town and you get a 58% pay rise. You are watching the last days of Rome.

South West Water has officially gone rogue
This is a slap in the face for billpayers. South West Water has officially gone rogue and the Govt has let them get away with it. We need to crack down on their profiteering. If you want real action to fix our water industry, then @LibDems on 4th July.

It’s time to make water companies pay for their environmental vandalism.
Disgraceful. South West Water’s Chief Exec has made a big show of foregoing £237,000 in performance bonuses this year – and then quietly taken nearly £300,000 in shares. It’s time to make water companies pay for their environmental vandalism. #VoteLibDem

And from “holding SWW to account” Tory candidates Simon Jupp and David Reed:
Nothing!
Owl has yet to find any matching comment from either of them on “X”.
But the outgoing chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, vows to do more to help six-figure earners should Tories win the general election.
