Steve Reed and private water companies are the only ones insisting that nationalising water would cost close to £100 billion.
Are they singing out of the same hymn sheet?
Last year, his department said yes. Now he says he isn't. What's the truth Steve Reed? #ComeCleanSteve👇

At the annual naturalization ceremony at Mount Vernon, Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke of George Washington's ability to conceive of leadership not as a pursuit of power, but as civic stewardship. Craig Bruce Smith says this vision matters now more than ever: https://theatln.tc/JA0qazZe

Finland gives every homeless person a house and within 6 months 85% have a job and are financially independent.
Less crime, less hospital visits, less suffering and even including the cost of the house LESS COST than the UK/USA method of abandonment.

Why don't the Liberal Democrats (72 MPs in the UK Parliament) and/or the Greens (4 MPs) get this level of coverage by our established press?
It's a good question.

🚨 New data from over 1,100 businesses across the UK shows the damage Brexit has done.
📉 72.8% of firms say they've been negatively impacted.
This isn’t "teething problems", it’s structural harm to our economy.

We are about to add more information to our map, showing the donations that MPs are receiving from people and companies linked to the private healthcare sector. And... we are going to make a lot of noise about what individual politicians are doing. Please could you share this, and follow us? 🚨💙

So pleased to see someone else thinks this.
If I was in charge Gary Lineker would keep his job and I would put him on Politics too, so he could talk about Israel's War Crimes in Palestine every day.
Laura Kuenssberg, Tim Davie, Robbie Gibb, Fiona Bruce and all the rest of the completely biased clowns, I would fire.

The BBC will sack Lineker for his humanity but pay Chris Mason and Laura Kuenssberg eye watering sums to rim Tories and push a right wing agenda.

25 reservoirs have been flogged off and will now be rebuilt at exorbitant prices. 🤯
When will Steve get the message - private water doesn't work. We need public ownership NOW!
