Private water companies are trying to convince you that taking our water into public ownership is too expensive But we can bring water into public hands for LESS than they will siphon out of our bills over the next 5 years Public ownership now!
Graphic that says "Water privatisation is a scam. Public ownership now. £14 billion the cost of bringing water into public ownership, according to Moody's in 2019 VS £22 billion amount banks and shareholders will take out of our water bill in the next 5 years"

Macron: “Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years. “Those who said, "We will be richer" - eight points of GDP less ten years later. "”We will solve the problem of immigration" - it is more complicated than before. "”We are going to crush it in international trade" - it is worse.”

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.

The £36m donations are legal and to change the law retrospectively would be outrageous! Yes, it was announced in Parliament on 25 March that the legislation would apply to any donations from that day onwards, but that was the day all Reform MPs staged a walk-out, so we missed it.
