Talking about public control is just tinkering and on Thames Water he’s even tinkering with the tinkering by backtracking.
If he wants hope: tax the wealthy, take water back under public ownership, bring in rent controls & no to new North Sea drilling.

Excellent, Andy Burnham is right
40 years of privatisation have made the UK poorer while shareholders around the world cash in 💧💡🚌🚄🏥🧑⚕️📮

Goodbye shutout, now we're losing in style baby… I've always liked Torrens. Most underrated defensive catcher in the NL east IMO.
At least David Stearns managed to not trade Torrens away. Even a broken clock…

Brighton has been truly parched, and meanwhile water infrastructure crumbles.
In 37 years since privatisation, not one new major reservoir for England.
In the 35 years before that, nearly 100 major reservoirs were created.
The new PM must renationalise water as a matter of urgency.

Half of the country is in "exceptionally serious drought" - putting us at more risk of wildfires and threatening our food security.
Meanwhile water companies are wasting a staggering 2.87 billion litres of water every day through leaky pipes.
Time to end water privatisation.

You can't regulate bad ownership; they will continue to exploit any loophole they can find until the government does something about it.
Meanwhile, others have to pay the consequences. This is rip-off Britain; you pay more for less. Enough is enough.
