After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It.

🚨Watch Dr Grace Brown explaining the ROSCO rip-off.

🤑Private rolling stock companies extracted at least £410 million in profits in 2023, and at least £360 million a year for the last decade.

The new Rail Bill means the ROSCO gravy train keeps rolling, extracting huge profits from passengers.

In yesterday's pre-budget speech Rachel Reeves said she was focused on "protecting the NHS".

Private funding has been disaster for the NHS. Trusts are paying back up to 27* over their original PFI deals.

The best way to protect it is to say NO to a new round of private finance arrangements.

We handed in a petition signed by 20,000 people to Ofwat this week.

Like Sanjeev, we don't want Thames Water to pollute our rivers and seas for the next 15 years - or at all!

💩Thames Water's creditors are trying to strike a deal with Ofwat that could let them off complying with pollution rules until 2040.

There's a better way than their dirty tricks!

Public ownership - because we should have a say in how our water is run.

We were delighted to have @PaulJSweeney as part of our panel event with @LabourList at #Lab25.

⭐Here's what public ownership could look like:
✅involvement in innovative infrastructure
✅reinvesting profits in local communities
✅taking public stakes in the companies of the future.
