Steve Reed says he won’t nationalise the water industry, because it would cost £100bn.
👀So where does that figure come from?👀
He claims that it comes from his own department.

This government is backing communities with cash, getting them the resources they need to take control, as we've been calling for with our Community Britain campaign.

End non-stun religious slaughter No more religious exemptions from animal welfare laws.
