Podcasts about Thames Water

Today's show opens with the bombshell revelation that Peter has enjoyed breakfast with the Oliver twins, creators of the Dizzy franchise! But what did they eat? Eggs, presumably. The lads also find time to revisit one of their favourite talking points - exactly when did it become necessary to drink so much water? Peter thinks it's a waste of time; he got all the hydration he needed from the amniotic fluid in his mother's womb.Speaking of water, there's a new sewer being dug right outside Luke's house, courtesy of the good people at Thames Water, and before they go there's just enough time to discuss the government's phone alert test and your battery submissions.

The English courts have been called upon several times in the last few years to reevaulate what should be considered fair in Part 26A restructuring plans.Within 2025, the Court of Appeal handed down two key decisions on distressed utility company Thames Water and upstream energy engineering firm Petrofac's restructuring plans.Those decisions, combined with another Court of Appeal decision handed down last year on German real estate group Adler's restructuring plan, have reconfigured the approach to assessing whether a restructuring is fair.There are now new tests for evaluating whether a restructuring plan is fair, and a focus on fair allocation and what contributions stakeholders are making to the restructuring, as well as what they get out.To unpack recent trends in Part 26A restructuring plans and what the recent Court of Appeal decisions mean for the future of UK restructuring plans, 9fin's Will Macadam sat down Kirkland & Ellis partners Kate Stephenson and Kon Asimacopoulos, and David Allison KC of South Square.

Social and political will, not engineering, are the hardest parts.” - Prof Brian Caulfield"If engineers had the money, we'd be building metros and light rails right now. The solutions exist—the bottleneck is delivering them.”  - Prof Brian Caulfield "Sustainability isn't just about the infrastructure; it's about minimizing disruption for people and reusing space for public life.” -  Robert Sizer"Give more space back to people, and you change how cities work and how we live in them."- Prof Brian Caulfield"We need sustainability to be a contract KPI, not just a talking point. That's how you get real change." - Robert Sizer

With Keir Starmer proving as unpopular and unpalatable to the left as he is to the right, Jeremy Corbyn's new - and as yet untitled - political party joins Reform UK in presenting a very real threat to Labour's chances of re-election in 2029.In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner talk to Ash Sarkar - journalist, Corbyn-supporter and co-founder of left-wing media organisation Novara Media - about how that new party could form a potentially fatal electoral pact for Starmer by teaming up with the Greens in 2029.As well as her dissatisfaction at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, she also talks about how Reform have outflanked Labour on the left with talk of nationalising utility providers like Thames Water, and why she “previously underestimated Nigel Farage” but is now “taking him a lot more seriously”.We want to hear from you!

Tuesday June 3, 2025 UK Fines Thames Water $165 Million

In this punchy and provocative episode of Mark and Pete, we dive headfirst into the swirling chaos of British politics, public utilities, and corporate excess. First up: Attorney General Richard Hermer finds himself in hot water after comparing the Reform Party and Tory ECHR policies to Nazi ideology. Was it a bold moral stand—or a clumsy rhetorical nosedive? Next, we wade through the murky waters of Thames Water's £122.7 million fine, the biggest in UK history, as they continue to leak both sewage and credibility while drowning in £20 billion of debt. Is failure now the British benchmark for business? Finally, we take off (in budget class) to dissect Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary's eye-watering €100 million bonus. In a time of rising fares and falling trust, should we celebrate his capitalist cunning or question the altitude of his ethics? With satire, insight, and listener interaction, this episode invites you to write in: What reality show would you create featuring these headline-makers? What would your postcard from “Blunderland” say?
