£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

The Terrorism Act 2000 specifically ensures that it is lawful to organise for the de-proscription of a group.

There should be no law in democracy that cannot be opposed. That is the very mark of democracy itself.

It appears that the web hosts for our campaign website have been contacted to suggest that we may be in breach of their T&Cs

There’s no breach - we’ve checked.

Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water! We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

As Richard Denniss put it:
✊”If protest didn’t work, they wouldn’t try and ban it - don’t think for a minute you don’t have power - and that you can’t make change”

When they try to silence us, it only proves our power to bring about great change.

We need to shift to zero emissions vehicles, and industry needs clarity, not uncertainty.

Government has a big part to play in incentivising demand - starting by paving the way for universal charging infrastructure.

The voting system harms trust in politics — MPs are calling on the government to act Free and fair elections are the hallmark of democracy. If people are to be represented and governed as they wish, it’s not enough that they are able to vote. They must be able to vote without coercion...

I'm very pleased to be vice chairing the new APPG for Fair Elections.

The time has come for a fair, proportional electoral system where every vote counts.

The Green party has responded to the BBC story saying many councils think the government’s housing targets are unrealistic by saying it should prioritise getting council homes built. The Green MP Ellie Chowns said: Labour’s housing strategy involves cosying up to big wealthy developers and falling for the myth that the private sector will build the housing that we need. But too many developers are more interested in lining their own pockets than in providing what communities are actually crying out for, which is affordable housing. We can’t privatise our way out of the housing crisis. If we are to build the right homes in the right place and at the right price, we need to build hundreds of thousands of new council and social homes. These need to be in places well served by schools, health services and public transport. Not detached housing estates with a predominance of large expensive homes that make a quick and big buck for developers but are out of reach for most people.

To end the housing crisis, we need to build the right homes, in the right place, at the right price.

That means new council and social homes well served by schools, health services and public transport - not detached estates with expensive homes out-of-reach for most.

The voting system harms trust in politics — MPs are calling on the government to act Free and fair elections are the hallmark of democracy. If people are to be represented and governed as they wish, it’s not enough that they are able to vote. They must be able to vote without coercion...

That includes an independent National Commission for Electoral Reform so that citizens can have their say in shaping a fair, democratic system in which every vote counts equally.
