Unfortunately, this seems to be less and less a party for us. When Reeves asked the utility companies to come up with ideas for growth, what did she expect the water companies to do? Other than ask for more dosh to "invest" when it'll end up as dividends.

Higher education is a public good and a necessity. If Labour is serious about delivering for working people, it must reverse the disaster that is the marketisation of universities begin by Blair’s pointless tuition fees.

I completely agree.
Nationalise water now because less years than you might think we will be running short and that situation must not be in the hands of private investors.

While ever Labour MPs accept donations from the water companies it will never happen

Absolutely right. And the latest on Anglian Water's poor pollution behaviour in our region reinforces this.

I agree with you and it's good to know that at least you think this way on this one issue. What would be even better is if, on so many other issues, we could please have the kind of Labour Party I suspect most of us thought and hoped we were voting for last year.

Same is true for gas and electric so nationalise them too please.

@labourlewis.bsky.social you are unceasingly out of step with this blinkered government. I’m sure the people of Norwich would continue to support you if you crossed to the independents / progressive alliance.

Yes.
