Water companies in England prioritised shareholders over customers for years. Now we're all paying the price. Enough is enough. Water in 90% of the rest of the world is publicly owned. It’s time to end the failed ideological experiment, and bring England’s water into public ownership.

If there is one thing that we all agree on, it is that privatisation of water has been a colossal failure The solution is simple: take our water into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP: vist.ly/5czje In a time of droughts and wildfires, running our water for profit is offensive
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."

This debt will cost people their health. £10,000, charged for support received while banned from working. The Government's debt will pressure people into unsafe work, housing, and poorer health just to pay it off. It's the same trap as NHS charging. You cannot punish people for seeking safety.

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up. Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.
