Andy Burnham has said the new water bill will “start a 10-year journey to a very different water system". He has an open goal with Thames Water. The company is insolvent. The legislation already exists to effect the transition to public ownership. Don't kick the can down the road - start now.

Repealing Margaret Thatcher's ban on public ownership of water companies is wonderful But it means absolutely nothing if he does not then bring water into public ownership Our response to Andy Burnham's #LabourConference speech
A We OWn It tweet that says "🚨BREAKING  Andy Burnham has just announced that he will repeal Margaret Thatcher’s ideological ban on public ownership of water companies. This is good news, and a sign of just how intensely this government is feeling the pressure from the public.  But this means absolutely nothing if he does not then bring water into public ownership.  Instead, Burnham’s speech doubled down on regulation as a way to fix the crisis in our water system.  This is doomed to fail. When water companies are fined, they pass them on to us. When bonuses are banned, they call them something else.   Burnham has an open goal with Thames Water. The company is insolvent. And the only option to keep it privatised is to hand it over to US hedge funds.  Yet Burnham has failed to take them on today.  Andy Burnham must take Thames Water into special administration and keep it in permanent public ownership. And he can use legislation to make it easier to bring other water companies ..."

Screenshot of a tweet by John MacDonnell that says "This new report from  @We_OwnIt   should add pace to the development of Labour's commitment to public ownership. Decades of experience have proved control of essential services and natural resources will not be enough. Ownership not regulation has to be the way forward."

In 2021, income tax personal allowance was frozen at £12,570. If aligned with inflation, it would now be £16,070. A minimum wage earner in England will pay extra £980 in income tax & NIC in 2026-27. Govt can easily increase personal allowance by £3,000, worth £600 to basic rate taxpayer.

This is how the Chancellor can increase the personal allowance and lift millions out of hardship

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.
