We need your help. 🚨 If Great British Railways is to be truly great, we must have no backdoor privatisation. Can YOU help us fight for a FULLY publicly owned railway, that reduces fares and works in passengers' interest? 👇 vist.ly/3n52kb3 #railways #publicownership

Politicians must stop listening to corporate lobbyists and start listing the people. 82% of us want water in public ownership. Thames Water is collapsing, so that would be an obvious place to start. Agree? Join the 38,000 who've signed our petition. Link in comments👇

Water bosses can just put their salaries up higher than £2 million+! Bonus bans won't help Don't let the government distract you from the rip off of privatised water Thames Water is now in chaos with no private buyer - bring it into PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

If you’re banning bonuses for failing water bosses You should be banning all shareholder payouts from failing water companies If you follow this to its logical conclusion, you should be banning private companies from our water system entirely bigissue.com/opinion/thames…
