UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
No end to nightmare without public ownership.

We could re-join the SM & CU tomorrow.
We would have to wait for full membership, aye. We need to prove we will never vote in dangerous imbeciles like Johnson and Farage first. That means Proportional Representation.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

In light of today’s food inflation figures, it’s clear we need a war on inflation, not a war on immigration. And a weapon in our arsenal must be expediting that agri food deal with the EU.
