The Late Debate: Thames Water troubles, mortgage misery and the Uxbridge by-election

Tap above to watch The Late Debate with Simon Harris

For its 15 million customers Thames Water is a service they can't do without. But the UK's biggest water company is in big trouble. Buckling under the weight of its debt, customers have been warned bills could rise at a time when targets are being missed. Some argue these are the symptoms of privatisation - so is it time to roll back the clock and let the government take control? Also, will the soaring cost of mortgages spell doom for the Tories? And the by-election battle for Uxbridge but will the row over Ulez choke support for Labour?

Joining Simon this week are:

• Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, Rushanara Ali

• Conservative MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, David Simmonds

• Liberal Democrat Peer, Baroness Kramer
