Watching Nigel Farage put on his best grave face to promise he’ll safeguard state pensions, right after years of calling them unaffordable, is like watching a fox offer to install a state-of-the-art security system on a hen house

"Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now."

PRIVATISED WATER HAS FAILED. WE NEED PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW.

ADRIAN RAMSAY
MP FOR WAVENEY VALLEY

"The Prime Minister is right that water must be run for public good and not profit and that the public is very clear that water should be taken back into public control and end the scandal of sewage in our rivers and seas. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s words in his speech today gave no commitment to this, just that at some point in the future there will be more regulation. This isn’t good enough.

Privatised water has failed and must be taken into public ownership now so we can start to fix the crumbling infrastructure."

Ian Dunt rightly calls out ten years of Brexit as a grim, hateful era that drained national ambition. A country refusing to fix its obvious mistakes is a country giving up on its own future. Why let toxic populism shackle economic potential any longer? 🤔 #FBPE

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.

Still think this is a good idea, tbh - I’m still shocked by the number of empty flats in the new builds around Vauxhall that were purchased as investments. Those flats would be perfect for young people starting out - and would do far more for the country than a nice big return on investment.
