Whitehall Fears Rising Borrowing Costs Amidst Thames Water Crisis
Thames Water Financial Crisis
Senior Whitehall officials are raising concerns about the financial collapse of Thames Water and its potential consequences for the UK's borrowing costs. The fear is that this crisis could lead to a similar scenario as the chaos following the Liz Truss mini-budget.
Renationalisation Urgency
Officials believe that action needs to be taken to prevent a rise in borrowing costs for the government, extending beyond the utilities and infrastructure sectors. The potential solution being considered is the renationalisation of Thames Water before the upcoming general election.
