💧”We can have clean water, or we can have privatised water, but we can’t have both.”

in public ownership regulation is SO much easier. Not chasing hidden information for a start... One regulator for water. #PeoplesCommission …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1
Public Ownership immediately resolves Public trust and must be followed by democratising water …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1 #PeoplesCommission
If your going to pollute then pay to clean it up. #PeoplesCommission …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1
Right now get the public and workers on the board. #PeoplesCommission …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1
Special Administration must not lead to catastrophic repeat of the failed experiment of privatisation. The future needs full public participation as stewards of precious water and that wont happen in a privatised model #PeoplesCommission …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1
We need SAGE for Water. Having Defra as the sole advisors to gov is not working. #PeoplesCommission …oplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-3-1
The People's Commission on water needs to know if you support the recommendations. If you do please email peoplescommissionwater@gmail.com with your name/ org OR reply here. The list will go to Minister Hardy and MPs
Cleaner - because polluters should pay . Cheaper - because all our money is used to provide clean water and none to service 8-12% interest on debt. Fairer - because CEOs are not raking in millions in salaries whilst families struggle in water poverty.
We can’t meet the demands of climate, population, and deal with the impact of pollution with water as a commodity. The People's Commission on the Water Sector - Cleaner, Cheaper, Fairer in Public Ownership

Today’s shock @ofwat briefing to city showing allowing doubling ( to £22bn) water companies allowed to take for return on capital (Thank you David Hall for pointing this out) for next 5 years. #peoplescommission
The government is repeating corporate lobbyist nonsense that making water public costs £99bn.
The true cost is close to zero, the benefit is clean water.

What we learnt on ownership www.thepeoplescommissiononthewatersector.co.uk/general-2-1-1
The People’s Commission public meeting on ownership. It’s up to us. Keep on bringing your outrage into our democracy. With @Feargal_Sharkey
Starmer said in 2020 that rail, mail, energy and water should be publicly owned.
Reeves took £27,000 from corporate lobbyists whose clients wanted to buy Thames Water + have bought Royal Mail, claiming dishonestly the Treasury can’t afford public ownership. Disgusting.
