Public ownership of water in England would mean no dividends to pay, £85bn paid since privatization.
Cost of borrowing would be around half, guaranteed by govt.
Reduction in consultant fees, don't need so many.
Simpler regulation, no shareholders to appease.
Result: more investment, lower bills.

I can't stop thinking about what Bezos has done to the Washington Post. But I also don't know why I & anyone else is shocked. I went undercover in an Amazon 'fulfilment centre' in 2013 and saw first-hand exactly who Bezos is.
We have all been SO naive.

At this point we would normally point you to his Twitter account, but he deleted it just before his nomination was confirmed.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
