I hope Labour get in a nationalise the UK rail network.
I’m moving back to Australia and was looking at living 1hr 40mins outside Sydney.
The rail fare is between $5 and $9.
I currently live in Brighton. A 1 hour train trip to London costs $45.00 (£23.90)
We drive to the in-laws in Cardiff and it costs £50 in petrol.
If we got a train it would be £149.00.
It’s ridiculous

#NBPower is now circling the drain. This is what decades of abuse of power and lack of oversight bring. This is why public utilities can't be for-profit corporations.

Energy price cap set to rise AGAIN in January

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67484090

Ofgem are nothing short of a joke.

They clearly don't give a damn about consumers, only lining the pockets of the energy giants and their shareholders.

It's high time all utilities were re-nationlised so as NOT to put profit before service.

FFS, why is the government paying private companies to build offshore windfarms and guarantee their profits

The gov should just build it themselves.

So, the British taxpayer may spend £3-6 B to cover failed energy companies?

I thought shareholders carried the risk of #privatisation. Yet another lie.

If private sector is inherently better than government at running things, why does the UK keep nationalising railroads?
