What could Thames Water look like in public ownership? 1) A supervisory governing board with representatives from households, workers, communities, environmental groups, local councils and water experts.

Dirty Business has made it crystal clear - it's just UNACCEPTABLE for our water to be run for profit for shareholders and creditors

In public ownership, Thames Water could be accountable to households, workers, anti sewage groups, local councillors 👇

Reform UK downgraded in our political scorecard Last year, as the various political parties were heading off for their annual conferences, we launched our political party scorecard.

Last September we launched our political party scorecard: an at-a-glance guide to the most prominent parties' position on public ownership.

We've just updated the scorecard - and have downgraded Reform's rating.

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry As the drama shows, private firms no longer able to pollute the coast of England of Wales just switched to rivers instead

Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry

Just seen the final episode of #dirtybusiness on C4 streaming. If you’re watching it live at 9 be warned. It will make you incandescent with rage. And with my @weownit.org.uk hat on, I urge you to check our website for details of the gobsmacking corruption of the water industry exposed in the show.

My office at The Barbican used to look a bit like that. But that was the 90s, so smaller and more scuzzy.

You may have just revealed the quintessence of what recording an album in a studio is like. Time is reduced to the interval between takes and the hours sat on low faux-leather sofas, accompanied by the lingering aroma of rapidly cooling pizzas.

High energy prices threaten UK’s status as manufacturing power, business groups say CBI and Energy UK report finds 40% of firms have cut investment as electricity costs remain far above pre-Ukraine levels

High energy prices threaten UK’s status as manufacturing power, business groups say.

The same groups supported privatisation of rail, mail, water, energy and more.

Households ripped-off to appease shareholders.

Subsidies aren't the answer. Need public ownership. Gives govts more economic levers.

Ch4 Dirty Business
Same old story.
The regulator also working for the polluters, and they make more profit from polluting and then just paying the fines.
And then a Post Office style cover up.
People should be going to prison for murder.

I’d go with “In for a penny” if I was them.

The crossword’s an absolute bugger, however.

@weownit.org.uk are you aware of the current calamity where a PFI maintenance contract has led to the closure of five wards at one of Manchester's biggest hospitals? Patients - some of whom elderly, some of whom with dementia - have been moved many miles away. The knock on effects are significant.

Irreversible. Without a doubt.

My wife reminded me of a phrase she saw many years ago outside a church in N London, variously attributed to Benjamin Franklin or John Ruskin: “A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small parcel”.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world.
