Bill increases of nearly a third for millions of ordinary people have helped Thames Water's profits soar to over £400 million. Foreign hedge fund lenders want more power to pollute our waters and raise our bills. Privatised water is a scam. Let's bring it back into public hands.

1. Brexit is at least two things: Being out of the EU and being out of the Single Market.
2. Both of these can be reversed.
3. To blame a reversible problem for your harmful economic decisions, while still refusing to reverse that problem, is the behaviour of a fool.
