Protests today at Tynemouth against pollution and the failure of water privatisation. It was great to talk to fellow protesters and was heartening to see so many young people and their families speaking out. surfers against sewage #nationalisewater

@Eceni

It is past time to #NationaliseWater

There is no reason essential services like this should be in private hands. The failure or privatisation is clear.

@juglugs Much like having a shower as we pay for the infrastructure to be invested in for a second time. #NationaliseWater
@pedestrians1st Nothing has changed. Bonuses are still legal as long as they’re not performance related. They can be arbitrary. Labour must be on the take from the big institutional investors. #NationaliseWater
Privatisation of the UK water supply has not worked for customers. These services should be brought back under public control, and it should be done at zero cost to the taxpayer #PublicWater #NationaliseWater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoNJnXiJKmg
How Much Would It Really Cost to Nationalise Water?

Well done UK Labour. Talking to the Executive Spongers at Anglian Water in language they understand.

Don't stop there.

A fortnight ago Hunstanton beach was closed to swimmers because of shit pumped to sea by Anglian Water citing "heavy rain" during the driest spring in recent history.

No wonder so many people are absolutely fed up of politicians.

Completely tone deaf and out of touch...

Government's worst case scenario for nationalising water still leaves households better off | We Own It

If the government took water into public ownership, it could save customers £3 billion a year. Research shows that debt and dividends is crippling the industry’s ability to fix the sewage crisis.

We Own It
Ask your MP to attend my Water Bill debate

After years of bill hikes, shareholder pay-outs, and pollution, it couldn't be clearer that privatisation has created a crisis in our water system. We can't leave the future of this critical national resource in the hands of failing corporations that prioritise profit, and an ineffective regulator. We need an overhaul of our water system. Not just tinkering at the edges. Clive Lewis' Private Members Water Bill will have its first debate on 28th March. This Bill is an unmissable chance to put public ownership on the table and create a national conversation about how our water is managed. This is a chance for common sense to overcome an ideological commitment to failing privatisation. It's about weighing all options and shaping our future together. It’s about democracy. We need as many MPs as possible to show up and back this campaign. Ask your MP to be there on the 28th March and back the Bill. The more pressure we build, the better our chances of success. Even one letter—your letter—can make a difference.

More scandal and overcharging due to water privatisation. No surprise, Thames Water is one of the culprits.

It's past time to #NationaliseWater and particularly to #NationaliseThamesWater now!
