@We_OwnIt

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.

Kidney patients in my constituency are understandably worried about plans to privatise their local NHS dialysis unit.

This is being taken over by a multinational that has already had one UK clinic put into special measures.

I raised this in Parliament today.

Yesterday our Senior Research Fellow @EleanorShearer spoke to Jim Diamond on LBC News about the crisis at Thames Water.

Rather than bailing out private shareholders, Thames Water should be back in public ownership.

Whilst Thames Water tries to raise bills by 44%, millions struggle with the cost of living and years of stagnant wages.

We need to bring water into public ownership as part of a Green New Deal to cut bills and invest in the future of our planet.

Thames Water-linked firm paid £14m in dividends despite concerns over group.

It sold land no longer needed by Thames Water, money not used to reduce Thames' debt.

Thames is counting on picking our pockets to rescue it.

😡 Thames Water wants to hike your bills by as much as 44%

We shouldn't be paying for their poor performance after shareholders have been paid £billions.

Enough of this. Bring Thames Water into public ownership with no bailout at the public's expense

Paris Water 🌊
✅ Publicly owned
✅ Board members include workers, campaigners, and councillors

Thames Water 💩
❌ Privatised
❌ Run for shareholders

If Sadiq Khan wants to clean up like Paris, he needs to copy his own policy on buses and take Thames Water into public hands.

This is two-tier healthcare. And only private healthcare shareholders are benefiting from this.

We can’t build the NHS’s killer. Any policy that gives NHS money to private healthcare only empowers them and weakens the NHS.

Invest in the NHS.

The audacity 😡 Thames Water wants to raise bills by 56%

'It is Thames Water’s reckless shareholders and creditors who must be made to pay the price of their failure — with the business transferred to the public as compensation.'
