Royal Mail staff tell BBC letters sit undelivered as firm prioritises parcels Staff and customers tell the BBC prioritising parcels can mean missed NHS appointments and late payment fines.

Royal Mail delivered letters from your doctor, family and friends, 6 days a week for decades.

Then it was privatised. Now it can't even deliver 3 days a week.

Instead they prioritise profitable parcel deliveries. Take Royal Mail back into public ownership. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Disgraceful - the government should remove South West Water's licence

How can it be legal, that a health minister can take donations from private healthcare interests ? That sounds corrupt to me.

Good to see your texts with Mandelson. The public also has a right to know if health policy is being driven by unaccountable lobbying

Public backs rail nationalisation in latest transport poll 70 per cent of Labour voters, want the government to nationalise rail rolling stock.

🎯from Green MP Siȃn Berry:
“The public is fed up with the outrageous profiteering of rolling stock leasing companies as they line the pockets of shareholders with record profits, while rail passengers are made to pay the bill with rising rail fares."

Privatisation at any cost = the aim for lobbyists influencing government's water policy

Now Thames Water wants to pollute illegally until 2040

WHOSE SIDE IS YOUR MP ON

image of a Morning Star headline "GBR should use savings to cut fares and open new services, majority say in poll"

"SEVEN in 10 people think savings from renationalising rail firms should only be used to cut fares or open new services, a poll by We Own It has found. Most said that they would be more likely to travel by rail if fares were reduced, with almost six in 10 telling the Survation survey that public ownership should involve passenger representatives on the board of Great British Railways (GBR). With more than half of train-operating companies now in public ownership, the campaign group and supporting MPs have said that fare cuts will create a “virtuous circle” in the railway."

BREAKING🚨

✅7 in 10 of us want public ownership of rail to mean lower fares and more services

✅6 in 10 want public ownership of rail rolling stock
