We Own It

Bills are spiralling. Rivers are filling with sewage. Households are desperate. Without a transfer of ownership, these proposals are just more bureaucratic adjustments. It's time for Andy Burnham to make a decision on our water. Is he going to continue continue the privatisation rip-off, or finally bring it into public hands? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8wy…

Public ownership is affordable. vist.ly/5rpmw

Water companies can have their licences removed because they are insolvent or because they are failing to fulfil their statutory duties. That's a double whammy for Thames Water. The government should be using their power, removing Thames Water’s licence and taking it into special administration.

Thames Water's shareholders have walked away. It's being propped up by US hedge funds who REALLY don't care about its 16 million customers. The government needs to intervene, put it into Special Administration, then take it into public ownership.

Just two weeks ago, the Mayor of London made it very clear. We can't have the public bailing out people who have made huge profits. Yet a £2.4 billion Thames Water bailout has just been signed off by Thames Water's creditors. The interest alone on this deal could cost as much as £40.30 per Thames Water household. Enough. It's time for special administration of Thames Water. @andyburnham @mayorofLondon

🚨BREAKING: Thames Water's creditors have agreed to put even more ££ into the failing company. ENOUGH. It is now more important than ever that this government intervenes on behalf of households. A company that can only survive by lurching from one bailout to the next and heaping ever-increasing costs onto households, is NOT a viable company. The public made it more than clear ahead of last week's creditor meeting: no more bailouts at our expense. Special administration of Thames Water NOW.

🧐Still no word on whether the £2.4 billion Thames Water bailout is going ahead, after the deadline for the creditors to make a decision passed last Thursday ✊But these members of the public are making it clear. No bailout at our expense! 🕐Time is UP for the flailing Thames Water. Burnham must let it go bust and bring it into public hands

Thames Water is a zombie company, lurching from loan to loan. If its creditors agree to a £2.4 billion lifeline the money will run out in a year. Andy Burnham must get the ball rolling on public ownership of English water! Let it go bust; take it into special administration; then public ownership. vist.ly/5qyrw

It's as true today as it was 150 years ago: private companies & public services don't mix, because the private sector will ALWAYS put profits before people. Andy Burnham must take back assets for the British public by allowing failing private companies to go bust. vist.ly/5qvrz

The Conservative - Lib Dim coalition government passed the Postal Services Act in 2011 which led to Royal Mail and The Post Office being separated. Andy Burnham, it's time to put right the mistakes of the past and put the broken pieces of our postal service back together.

Yet more billpayers saying no to the Thames Water bailout! Andy Burnham, you said you would pull every single lever to ease the cost of living. Blocking this eyewatering £2.4 billion bailout will benefit billpayers across the country, by making it clear that water companies can't expect to keep failing at our expense.

We are not blank cheques. @andyburnham , these members of the public are calling on you to protect households during a cost of living crisis, by blocking the £2.4 billion Thames Water bailout. Let Thames Water go bust and bring it into public hands.

Andy Burnham has said that billpayers must not be treated like blank cheques for water companies. Yet if he allows this eye-watering £2.4 billion Thames Water bailout to go ahead, he would be doing just that. Yesterday, we handed in a petition signed by over 27,000 people calling on Burnham to Block the Bailout. Failing water companies don't deserve any more of our money. Let them go bust!

"We live among the ruins of the public transport networks that Thatcher and the private operators have left us" The National Coalition of Better Buses campaigns are calling on Andy Burnham to deliver FULL PUBLIC OWNERSHIP and passengers at the heart of the system @LabourList vist.ly/5qn5r
