Friday newspaper round-up: Thames Water, NatWest, Metro Bank
(Sharecast News) - Thames Water has pumped at least 72bn litres of sewage into the River Thames since 2020 - roughly equal to 29,000 Olympic swimming pools - new figures reveal. Water firms have no legal obligation to report the amount of sewage discharged, only the number of hours that it was released. But campaigners argue this data is insufficient as this does not properly quantify how much sewage is in England's rivers. - Guardian Vehicle breakdowns caused by Britain's pothole-ridden roads reached record levels this year, according to the RAC. The motoring organisation said it received almost 6,000 calls for pothole-related incidents from July to September - its highest total for the relatively benign summer period since it started collecting data in 2006. - Guardian
NatWest is preparing to block the majority of Dame Alison Rose's £10m-plus exit payout over her role in the Nigel Farage debanking scandal, according to reports. The board of the bank has decided to dock the exit package of NatWest's former chief executive and confirmation was expected as soon as Friday morning, according to Sky News. - Telegraph
Shell is suing Greenpeace for $2.1 million after activists from the environmental group occupied one of its vessels to protest against its North Sea oil drilling plans. The oil major claimed that it had incurred significant costs after six Greenpeace activists boarded a ship carrying a floating production, storage and offloading vessel in January as it was en route to a shipyard in Norway. The activists occupied the vessel, which is ultimately intended for use at the Penguins field in the UK North Sea, for 13 days. - The Times
Shareholders in Metro Bank have been warned that the lender risks being put into resolution by the Bank of England if they do not support a £925 million rescue package at a vote this month. Metro said on Thursday that it would hold a meeting on November 27 to secure shareholder approval for the emergency funding deal it struck last month. - The Times
