🔥🔥@mayorofwy.bsky.social is absolutely right: The public is crying out for change 🚌Public control of buses - like in Greater Manchester 💧Public ownership of water - like 90% of countries in the world Whoever ends up as PM, the public is demanding public ownership.

Okay, we all hate privatised water. What to do about it? Ask your MP to join 84 other MPs in signing our letter opposing OFWAT's deal allowing Thames Water to dump sewage. If this deal is signed, it's coming to your area soon. Take action here: vist.ly/54b4b

“Even while [the rolling stock companies) weren’t directly receiving any subsidy, they [received] a great deal of indirect subsidy... through the operating companies.” Our Chief Economist @chrismwhayes.bsky.social for @tomnicholas.bsky.social on whether nationalisation can fix Britain's trains. 👇

"Nothing will change for the vast majority in our country until we change our democratic system so that we can change our economic system; until we own and control the basics in our lives such as water, energy, housing and transport" 🎯 @compassoffice.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

UPDATE: Helen Hayes MP has just signed the MPs' letter opposing OFWAT's deal to allow Thames Water to pollute our rivers. Thank you so much @helenhayes.bsky.social for standing up for your constituents👏👏 Ask your MP to join Helen Hayes now to sign the letter: weownit.org.uk/act-now/mps-...

Wes Streeting had a once in a lifetime chance to reinstate the NHS as a FULLY PUBLIC SERVICE He squandered it, continuing with privatisation £1.6 billion was wasted on profits in the last 2 years according to @chpithinktank.bsky.social - enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses

Our breakdown of Wes Streeting’s donors has been doing the rounds online for the last year. Now we’ve updated it – with another £55,000 from OPD Group.

Whoever is PM, we need politicians to defend the PUBLIC INTEREST not just a handful of shareholders Andy Burnham did this in Greater Manchester 🚌 He listened to local people and Better Buses for GM ⚖️ He fought the private bus companies in court and won 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

Keir Starmer says he is nationalising British Steel so that it can work in the national interest. @brianleishmanmp.bsky.social is spot on: It's time for the government to also bring water, NHS, Royal Mail, energy, buses, and rail, into public ownership - serving us, not private shareholders.

Privatisation of the public services we rely on to live has been the worst political decision of the last 50 years. A Labour government should be destroying this Thatcherite legacy.

Water, energy, buses, trains, NHS, care, Royal Mail All pass the new "public interest test" 👇 All of these are *critical national infrastructure* All of these *support the economy* All should be taken into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Why stop at British Steel? www.gov.uk/government/n...

While everyone is talking about 80 MPs calling for Keir Starmer's resignation Did you know that 80 MPs have signed our MPs' letter opposing OFWAT's deal to allow Thames Water to dump sewage without fines? Ask your MP to sign the letter now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-...

🚨If we reinvested rolling stock dividends into cutting rail fares since 2022, regulated fares would be 12.6% lower today. It is time to bring rolling stock into public ownership. Ask your MP to amend the Railways Bill to bring rolling stock into public ownership: vist.ly/53pn2

Starmer just announced 'full national ownership' of British Steel. Labour are bringing emergency legislation, because 'public ownership is in the public interest' So this government CAN nationalise. And they can do it quickly. Why, then, are we not bringing our water into public ownership? 🧐

👏Congratulations to Liam Shrivastava, newly-elected Mayor of Lewisham. In 2025 Liam was instrumental in a council motion to demand public ownership of Thames Water. Councils across the country could be doing the same. People want lower bills & a water system that works. vist.ly/53s97

Wes Streeting thinks the NHS is like Woolworths, don't make him PM

Keir Starmer knows public ownership is popular - so he talked about British Steel But what about Sewage in rivers Energy bills out of control The NHS still privatised Letters not delivered Public transport not working Profits leaking from care On our side? END PRIVATISATION

🚨Great Western Railway is coming into public ownership in December This is only a first step to running our trains for passengers, not profit. The Railways Bill must make sure the railway has duties to passengers, the environment and the economy - instead of prioritising competition law.

"The resignation of the CEO does not deal with the fact that the company’s shareholders are gorging the company full of debt and extracting extortionate interest rates." It is time for South East Water to come into public ownership. vist.ly/53gkc

After being exposed on #Channel4 for escaping sewage prosecutions by donating to charities, the water companies have now come out with a new ad. They claim they’ll invest £104 billion over next 5 years from raising our bills. Doesn’t that mean WE are the ones making that investment - not them?

7 reasons not to trust Reform on public services Their policies are: 1) Cutting care homes 2) Cuts that ⬆️ pressure on A&Es 3) Cuts that damage local areas 🌳 4) Cuts to local transport 🚌 5) NOT taking back 💡 6) NOT taking back 💧 7) A threat to NHS 🏥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=veH1...

Saying "Britain is broken" means nothing unless you will: 1) REVERSE THE CUTS since 2010 👇👇👇 (would boost economy and there's ££ - UK billionaire wealth growing £35m/day) 2) END PRIVATISATION, BUY BACK OUR ASSETS - buy profitable asset = get profitable asset 💧💡🚄🚌🏥📮 www.youtube.com/shorts/kdpw1...

I’d like to hear a little more from the people who are going to be affected by this and a little less from the people whose first thought is “what does this mean for Keir Starmer”

Important to recognise that public services cuts such as these do the kind of harm they are intended to, your community of less connected, dirtier, less kept, all contributing to more children in an already strained care system. They’re meant to weaken community and they will.

When Keir Starmer was running to be Labour leader, he promised to end the privatisation in: 🏥Our NHS 🏫Schools 💧Water 💡Energy 📮Royal Mail 🚌Buses 💻Council services 🚆Rail ⚖️Justice 📶Broadband The majority of people who want PUBLIC OWNERSHIP are being ignored: vist.ly/53e5y

What is a distraction is the idea that a privatised water boss resigning will make ANY difference South East Water serves its shareholders in Australia and Canada The government should take it into special administration and PERMANENT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cross-party MPs say they have no confidence in South East Water's managers. Ofwat says it has one of the worst industry records for supply interruptions over the last decade. The Chair of SE Water resigned last week. We don't think that's sufficient. 1/2

Scotland is lagging years behind England with bringing buses back into public control 🚍🚏 Please take 2 mins to email your Scottish Parliament candidates to ask them to help speed up the process 👇 📨 betterbuses.uk/strathclyde/#email Otherwise we won't see Better Buses until 2031!

There are 10 Reform-led councils ✂️So far they have CUT vital public services including: 🧓 community support 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 fostering 🏥 public health 🌳 grass cutting 🗑️ litter picking 🚸 lollipop person This @unisontheunion.bsky.social briefing is a really useful resource: www.unison.org.uk/content/uplo...

If you're in Scotland and you want better buses, ask your election candidates if they will make it easier to bring bus networks into public control 🚌🚌🚌 Take action at betterbuses.bringbackbritishrail.org/strathclyde/... and follow @betterbusesspt.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU1F...

Feargal Sharkey is absolutely right: the government is complicit in the damage to our rivers and seas. No more window dressing. It is time for real action. Give the public a say. Give us a referendum on water ownership. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Not a single completed prosecution for any of the 2 million instances of illegal sewage dumping in the last 5 years. Yet the government claims to be taking action. #Channel4 is continuing to expose the privatised water industry tonight. Time to end this mess. Take water into public ownership.

Scotland, this one is for you🚍 Even with publicly owned Lothian Buses, your bus services are still deregulated It takes 5 years to bring your buses under public control You have just 24 hours to get your Scottish Parliament candidates to commit to change this if elected: vist.ly/537rw

Public ownership of rail means no more private profiteers in the system. 🔥🔥48 MPs - including @adrianramsay.bsky.social - have backed amendments so that our railway works ONLY for us. Can you take 2 minutes right now to send a message to your MP: vist.ly/533py

'Oxford MP refuses to push for Thames Water administration' Every single MP should be signing our open letter, and calling for Special Administration of Thames Water. This is a simple question of siding with the public, or with polluting profiteers.

You can't have a successful railway without staff🚆 Public ownership must mean more staff at our train stations. Email your MP now: https://vist.ly/4zv9i

Did you know? Scotland LAGS BEHIND England on buses 🚌 The Scottish Government created *the slowest, most complex legislation for public control* in the UK ☹️ If you're in Scotland please write to your election candidates now to speed things up 👇 betterbuses.bringbackbritishrail.org/strathclyde/...

Will Stone - Labour MP for Swindon North - has signed our open letter to Ofwat AND he's calling for public ownership of water. 🙌🙌🙌 @willstonemp.bsky.social What's your MP doing to protect you from eye-watering bills and sewage-filled rivers? weownit.org.uk/thames-mp-signed

This should be illegal. 60% of Wes Streeting's donations come from people and companies linked to private healthcare, according to @goodlawproject.org research. Our NHS should be protected from these private interests - not left defenceless against them. End privatisation in our NHS.

Who should own Thames Water? NOT Chinese linked firm CKI NOT US asset management creditors who are currently holding us all to ransom It should be OWNED BY THE PUBLIC, accountable to its 16 million customers, its workers and the environment www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Absolutely outrageous that this is our energy system £23 billion taken out in profits so far this year Equivalent to *£793 per household!* PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW: Cut bills 💰 Ramp up renewables 🌊🌪️☀️ Insulate every house in the country 🏡 morningstaronline.co.uk/article/ener...

This government says they're solving the water crisis with tougher regulation. Yet @barrygardiner.bsky.social has discovered there's ONLY been 5 prosecutions against water companies since March 2020. Thames Water alone dumped sewage illegally 8,499 times between 2021-2025. Public ownership now.

And how exactly does setting a dangerous new low on sewage pollution achieve that? 🧐 Thames Water's creditors want to set their own rules on pollution. And you STILL haven't said no. If you truly want to protect vital services, you'll reject the creditors and bring TW into Special Administration.
