The whole country is realising public ownership is the only way our water system gets better.

Amazing to see the FBU supporting this! A failed water system is a failed Britain. It is essential we can fight deadly fires.

The arguments against public ownership are drying up.
🚨 Water privatisation is failing firefighters and the public

The FBU is backing calls for public ownership of water. Firefighters need clean, high-pressure water to keep the public safe.
