I'm sick of sewage in our water! I refuse to pay the sewage portion of my Thames Water bill. Why are we paying water company CEO's obscene bonuses for the privilege of having our waterways pumped with sewage? Thames Water have failed in their responsibilities, public ownership of Thames Water now!

From my own experience of being lied to by the Met Police I know how important whistle blowers are for holding public institutions to account. Speaking up takes courage, whistle blowers must be protected so that they can protect us.

Rents are out of control. @greenparty.org.uk's new policy calling for a triple lock on private rents would help take the pressure off of 4.7 million renters in the UK. Rent controls have worked before and they can work again.

You’re being told to save water, while water companies are wasting 1 TRILLION litres a year from leaks. These are the same companies dumping sewage into our waterways and increasing our bills. Privatisation has failed, tell your MP you want them to renationalise water now! weownit.org.uk/act-now

Public ownership of water is hugely popular. In a democracy this should count for something. But the government continues to protect private water profiteers. Baroness Jenny Jones helped deliver a letter to the Environment Secretary, asking her to tell the truth about water public ownership.
