There’s an ideology behind keeping water privatised - and we’re not falling for it.
Privatisation has turned our essential resource into a cash-cow for profiteers. The Government’s long-awaited reform won’t fix it. If you think everyone should have access to clean, accessible, public water, add your name: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-be…
Food inflation in the UK is the highest among the G7 countries. Farmers are cutting production as costs rise. Extreme weather is damaging crops and driving up prices. France capped energy prices to keep food inflation down. Brazil removed tariffs on staple foods to lower…

Entire families wiped out in Gaza, hospitals bombed, journalists killed. That’s not defence, that’s an assault on human rights and international law. And has the potential to normalise the same, over and over again, across the globe.

My #water bill will rise by 47% in 2025, less than half as much as the 100% bonus-ban-busting pay rise for my water company’s boss. This represents “common industry practice”, like rinsing customers to pay shareholders dividends and filling our rivers and sea with shit.
