The crisis at Royal Mail is completely man-made. Let's take it back into public ownership and reinvest parcel profits into hiring staff to deliver letters It would cost just 0.1% of the UK national debt to buy back Royal Mail
Screenshot of tweets that say 2Publicly owned Royal Mail delivered letters six days a week. After privatisation, bosses tripled their salaries and cut that to three days a week. Yes, it's our old friend 'the superior efficiency of the private sector'." and "Privatisation is always bullshit. Profit is just mandatory waste. It's stolen from the system to enrich the owners."

Graphic with the following quote from Sonia Sodha: "I don’t think there is any question that privatisation of the water industry has been a BIG failure. What it’s created is private monopolies. Companies that are owned by private equity, where they can essentially asset strip our system, pay  big dividends to investors and not redoing our Victorian water mains."
