Our privatised water system is broken, and the next Water Bill could lock in more of the same.

If MPs don’t hear from us, water companies get their way again.

Love this from Humanists UK! #Thatshumanism is the perfect introduction to the humanist approach to life, featuring four animations narrated by Stephen Fry, and brand new posters all about humanism for schools. Have a look for yourself! humanists.uk/thatshumanism/
That's humanism!
Humanists make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers
Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

There is neither a moral nor an economic case for these reforms. Cutting PIP will not lower costs for taxpayers, will not improve employment rates, and will not address the genuine issues within the system.

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.
