“Privatisation was the experiment — and it’s failed. We have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege.”

Zack Polanski says it’s time to bring water back into public hands on #BBCPoliticsNorth.

We have had such a wonderful time in Zurich, such a beautiful friendly place, with the added attraction of an England #WEURO2025 thrown in, mega expensive but worth it, so much the UK could learn from how this country does things

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has received £311,400 from private healthcare interests since entering Parliament.

Could that be reason he's such a fan of private involvement in our health service?

The Green Party is clear - private profit motive should be nowhere near the NHS.

"Taking money from the poorest in the name of defence is both cruel and unnecessary. It’s a choice and it’s the wrong one."

Sir Jim Ratcliffe spent part of the £4bn tax bill he dodged to fund Manchester United.

That is how the UK works, you pay tax, the big people don't, and they get richer and richer, and RICHER.

Thames Water have had a £3bn loan approved. Their debts will now cost them £900m a year in interest, which is where one third of your water bill goes. Yet they managed to pay shareholders £158m in dividends last year. Someone ought to nationalise the greedy fuckers…

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt.

They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure.

It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.
