After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It's time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, We Own It.

How can @andyburnham take back Thames Water?
Easy
1) Stop creditors approving *another* bailout on Thursday 29th by removing its licence - 2 DAYS TO GO
2) ZERO COMPENSATION for shareholders
3) SLASH THE DEBT (part of special admin process)
Then transfer to PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Water companies want ANOTHER price hike on your water bills. They want you to take the 💩hit for their chronic, catastrophic performance.
Write to your MP - demand that the Chancellor blocks any more bill hikes.
🚨But don't put it off - the deadline is this Thursday.

"It's time for this government to show some energy and some bravery and put the water companies into special administration - and then, of course, into public ownership".
💯@GreenJennyJones. It's time to end the rip-off and take private water companies in England back into public hands.
25,000 people have signed our petition calling for Andy Burnham to block the Thames Water bailout. Add your name today.

Water companies want to push up bills even further.
AND Thames Water wants an excruciatingly expensive £2.4 billion bailout.
No more water company failures at our expense. Let them go bust!
✍️Take 2 mins to email your MP and ask them to urge the Chancellor ahead of the budget: stop the bill hikes and bring Thames Water into special administration!

Privatisation has failed
This Thursday 29th Oct shady Thames Water execs will meet dodgy US hedge funds to agree a £2.4 BILLION bailout that *households will pay for through increased bills*
@andyburnham has 3 DAYS to step in and STOP THE BAILOUT, take back Thames Water
Thames Water spent £2bn on fees in 18 months to stay private. Now it's asking its creditors for £2.4bn more. But it's customers who will pay the price via their water bills.
If the deal goes ahead the average Thames Water bill will have risen from £488 to £672 while Labour has been in government.

As long as we have water privatisation, the system will never "work in our interests"
The government should take water into public ownership (normal in 9/10 of world)
5 DAYS TO GO - @andyburnham say NO to Thames Water's creditors, say NO to bill hikes
