The man set to be our next Prime Minister has gone on record as saying he wants to bring key utilities like energy and water into 'public control'. But Andy Burnham hasn't clarified what he's proposing. Here’s the truth about public control that not enough people know about. vist.ly/5bigb
Infographic showing the difference between public control and public ownership. Public control - Government regulation decides on prices and services provided. Public ownership - local, regional or national ownership by the public, all profits reinvested. Deregulation (ie zero public control) makes your services even worse. Adding accountability to citizens/households can make services better.

Andy Burnham's diagnosis of Britain's problems is absolutely spot on. But his solution is far from clear. READ our statement on the election of Andy Burnham as leader of the Labour Party
Statement from We Own It on the election of Andy Burnham as Labour Leader: "Andy Burnham’s diagnosis of the problem with Britain is absolutely spot on. After 40 years of privatisation, the country is poorer, and our public services are worse.  His solution is far from clear. He has spoken about bringing public services under “stronger public control”. But water, energy and mail are already under strong public control, yet billions in dividends continue being extracted. Public control won’t make a difference to whether they work and deliver for us. Only public ownership will.  Thames Water is the first test of Burnham’s seriousness about reversing 40 years of privatisation. Public control of water under regulator Ofwat is failing miserably. Supposedly 'not-for-profit' Welsh Water is lining the pockets of faraway bondholders. Only public ownership will ensure that all of our money is being invested into fixing infrastructure and bringing bills down."
