“Govt should be investing directly in expanding #NHS capacity. Why is the government putting the future of patient care at the mercy of the private sector? The NHS was invented to sidestep this kind of chaos and profiteering.” Cat Hobbs in @mirror.co.uk www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Rail fares up by inflation-busting 4.6% 📈 4.1% of every ticket sold goes straight to train leasing companies’ dividends 💸 So who’s really benefitting 🤔 We need the whole system in public ownership, with all profits reinvested to bring down fares. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/m...

Amanda Pritchard wanted more private finance in the NHS. The NHS repairs backlog of £13.8bn is dwarfed by the £44bn still owed on PFI contracts. PFI has been a disaster and the new NHS boss, James Mackey, must rule out any new private finance. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/camp...

🧐In 2018 the cost of nationalising water was hugely overestimated by a private water funded, "economically illiterate" report 😡Today the government is using this report to justify EXCLUDING the option of public ownership in its new commission on water www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEEs...

Great the FT now demands special administration for Thames Water! But this aim is 100% wrong "to return Thames to the market as a stable, privately owned firm" Privatisation failed The aim must be to transfer Thames Water into PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP www.ft.com/content/8534...

Scotland customers pay on average £113 less for water than England. Public Ownership of water is normal in 90% of the world. 82% of us want to see water nationalised (YouGov July 24). Thames Water, a zombie company, just took on £3bn extra debt. So yes we DO want water nationalised as a whole!

If Thames Water was any normal company it would have gone bust. Instead, it's been bailed out. We'll fight this decision. Water is an essential part of life. Which is exactly why it should be in public ownership. Agree? Sign our petition weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...
