Cleaner - because polluters should pay . Cheaper - because all our money is used to provide clean water and none to service 8-12% interest on debt. Fairer - because CEOs are not raking in millions in salaries whilst families struggle in water poverty.

Starmer said in 2020 that rail, mail, energy and water should be publicly owned. Reeves took £27,000 from corporate lobbyists whose clients wanted to buy Thames Water + have bought Royal Mail, claiming dishonestly the Treasury can’t afford public ownership. Disgusting. inews.co.uk/news/reeves-...
