We Own It @weownit.org.uk · 15/08/2026
We refuse to pay for more sewage in our rivers, hosepipe bans, service cuts, dividends and bonuses Andy Burnham must say no to any bill hike. IF private water companies can't survive without it, let them go bust 82% of us want public ownership of water. We've had enough of privatisation
"“If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping. It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world.”

Rent controls would save households up to £2,400 a year and the Government £2 billion a year. It's a no-brainer. But only the Green Party has a policy to introduce them.

No immigrant has ever stolen your job. You were excluded from it by a capitalist who required cheap labour here or abroad & took advantage of that cheap labour to increase their profits. Nothing makes them happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not the billionaires. #TaxTheRich #Socialism
