Cleaner - because polluters should pay . Cheaper - because all our money is used to provide clean water and none to service 8-12% interest on debt. Fairer - because CEOs are not raking in millions in salaries whilst families struggle in water poverty.
We can’t meet the demands of climate, population, and deal with the impact of pollution with water as a commodity. The People's Commission on the Water Sector - Cleaner, Cheaper, Fairer in Public Ownership

The government is repeating corporate lobbyist nonsense that making water public costs £99bn.
The true cost is close to zero, the benefit is clean water.

Starmer said in 2020 that rail, mail, energy and water should be publicly owned.
Reeves took £27,000 from corporate lobbyists whose clients wanted to buy Thames Water + have bought Royal Mail, claiming dishonestly the Treasury can’t afford public ownership. Disgusting.
