Cross-party MPs say they have no confidence in South East Water's managers.

Ofwat says it has one of the worst industry records for supply interruptions over the last decade.

The Chair of SE Water resigned last week. We don't think that's sufficient.

If you think it should be taken into public ownership, sign our petition:

Do you want an NHS that works for patients not profit? Water in public hands and an end to sewage in your rivers and seas? No more profiteering from your energy bills? Do you think public transport and the Royal Mail should be publicly owned?

If you've answered yes to these questions, you're in the majority. But are the politicians listening to you?

Do you remember saying this, Keir Starmer? We do.

And we think if you make a leadership pledge, you should stick to it.

Privatisation has failed. Public ownership is popular with voters across the political spectrum.

You could do with some popularity right now, don't you think?

How much would it cost to bring water into public ownership?

The government wants you to believe it's too expensive to do. But that's what happens when you swallow the water industry's 💩.

If you want parliament to debate water properly, sign this petition.

"Those on top have discovered an even easier formula for building wealth: buy up the basic tenets of our lives, heap them with debt, and push the consequences on to the little people"

🤑It's time to end the private equity scam by bringing Thames Water into public ownership.

Want to know capitalism’s endgame? Just look at private equity – it has captured our everyday lives

These companies now own everything from nurseries to care homes, squeezing vital services for profit while we foot the bill, says Hettie O’Brien, author of The Asset Class: How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself
