We Own It
@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.
1/8 Environment Minister Steve Reed is telling you that he won’t nationalise the water industry, because it would cost £100bn. 👀but where does that figure come from? 👀 Reed claims that it comes from within his own department. 🚨However, it looks suspiciously like it might…
Steve Reed and private water companies are the only ones insisting that nationalising water would cost close to £100 billion. Are they singing out of the same hymn sheet? Last year, his department said yes. Now he says he isn't. What's the truth @SteveReedMP? #ComeCleanSteve👇
How the private water companies operate: 🤑Rack up the debt 🤑Pay themselves billions 😡Make us pay for everything 💩Sod the infrastructure. They're the reason our water supply is in crisis! ❌Beefier regulation won't fix it. WE NEED PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW
Rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
BREAKING: Sir Jon Cunliffe's government commissioned review into the water sector is out. It advises abolishing Ofwat and the Drinking Water Inspectorate to create one single, powerful regulator which also absorbs the Environment Agency's responsibilities
🤯New 'regulatory forbearance' could allow water companies to dodge fines. This water regulation is created in the interest of water companies. Their stock market value has increased since the report's release. Public ownership now! vist.ly/3ymhp
The Cunliffe report finds 'no causal link between ownership and performance'. 🧐Can't have been looking very far! Scottish Water is publicly owned. Bills £113 cheaper. More money invested in infrastructure. 🌎90% of water in the world is in public hands. It's time ours was too.
😡Steve Reed banned the Water Commission Report from exploring public ownership in England. 🤣He says it's too expensive. But the £100bn figure comes from a 2018 report funded by the water industry. We say that it's nonsense, & the experts agree. Watch this video to find out why
Prof. Becky Malby of @CleanIlkley lays out the facts. We simply can't afford continued privatisation. Public ownership is coming. It's just a case of how much damage is done first. Sign the @We_OwnIt petition here: weownit.org.uk/act-now/bring-…
In case you missed C4 news tonight..
If you still think privatised water works, you're probably either a water company shareholder or a government minister! The public, campaigners, academics and trade unions all want public ownership. It's time for The People's Plan for Water! Sign up 👇 vist.ly/3yfp9
The government is abolishing Ofwat But ruling out PUBLIC OWNERSHIP, normal in 9 out of 10 countries "Blaming Ofwat alone is like blaming the satnav for driving off a cliff when the road was built that way" @labourlewis 💯 The problem is privatisation independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
This is not the solution 🤬 Changing the sign on the regulator’s office building will not reverse the damage of 35 years of privatisation! ONLY public ownership will do that. ✅
