Water privatisation has been a disaster. It’s a rip-off, services aren’t good enough and our waterways are filthy. We tried regulating bonuses. They found a loophole anyway. Half-measures aren’t working. It’s time to bring water into public ownership.

The privatisation of water has been a total and utter disaster. Stop bailing out greedy private companies and bring our water into public ownership instead.

Privatisation is — and always has been — a complete rip-off. It’s time to put water back where it belongs: in public hands.

The problem with privatised water 💧 Around 90% of the world’s water is publicly owned - but England and Wales still run on a failed privatised system. For too long, water companies have been aloud to extract cash from a public necessity, all while putting profits before people and public health. The result? Polluted waterways, high bills and a system that isn’t working. It’s time to end this failed experiment and bring England’s water back into public hands. #publicownership #water #privatisation #sewage

Soaring bills. Burst pipes. Sewage in our rivers and seas. How many more times do we need to say it: the privatisation of water has been a total and utter failure. Bring it back into public ownership, now.

We’ve paid a privatisation tax on water for 36 years. New We Own It research shows that 35% of your bill goes to debt interest and shareholder dividends - not fixing our broken system. Privatisation has failed. It's time to bring water back under public ownership.

Privatisation is the fundamental reason why water is in crisis. The only other country with fully privatised water is Chile. We’re a global outlier, clinging to a failed Ponzi scheme while our rivers choke and bills rise. It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

Water privatisation is a scam. Over £70 billion paid out to shareholders from the water companies, while management has loaded them up with debt, raised bills, cut investment and pumped crap into our rivers. Stop the scam. Public ownership now.

"Since water was privatised, £72 billion has been taken out in dividends by water companies. "I'm the only member in the chamber that was here that voted against privatisation. "We predicted it would lead to a rip off of the public sector." Jeremy Corbyn.

"Privatisation is a failed experiment which takes all our money and pays it out to shareholders." Do we pay enough tax for good Public Services? Can you see the problem? They are not Public, so they will never be good no matter how much you spend.

Robotaxis on water will be a thing. Captains cost ~$40–$50/hr - nearly 50% of water taxi ops. It’s not scalable, and there aren’t enough captains. Electric foiling robotaxis are 10x cheaper to operate, smoother to ride, & can dock at any marina. It’s one reason I started Navier.

Trade wars aren’t good, and they aren’t easy to win. Senator Rand Paul says that President Trump’s tariff policies are a looming disaster. Can we fix trade and rein in Congress’s spending spree?

The interim report for the government’s "largest review of the water sector since privatisation" is out today. By taking public ownership of water off the table from the start, it’s delivering exactly what it was always designed to: false solutions dressed up as bold reforms. Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic. Privatisation is not a problem - it is THE problem. Sign my open letter to Sir Jon Cunliffe to put public ownership back on the table before it’s too late:

The devastating scenes from California are a reminder of what should be dominating headlines. 2025 is a red letter year for the climate and this Govt must show us it’s willing to take bold action. Half-baked measures simply aren’t enough. LBC

The failure of the water industry is a stain on our country. The Govt has an opportunity to fix it, but they are choosing to ignore the obvious: profit has no place in water. The public wants public ownership. The Green Party wants public ownership. When will the Govt catch up?

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "We need to have a conversation about privatisation, the water companies are the most obvious ones" "It's often talked about, that taking water into public hands would be an experiment. It's completely the other way round. Privatisation was the experiment" "And privatisation has utterly failed" "Whether we're talking about the movement of council homes to private landlords. Or water companies who took our water infrastructure with £0 debt and now have £ billions in debt. They're pumping sewage into the water. And charging us extra for the privilege" "I want to lower people's bills. People in this country are tired and exhausted. Wages are not going up but bills are going up. We need to lower bills and raise wages" "One way to do this is to stop this exploitation of every single person in this country who uses a water company that has been sold off for private profit at our expense, and we're paying the consequences for that" "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

"24,000 households.. in Kent are waking up to a 5th day without water" One affected resident says, of the private water company, "these guys should be in jail" Labour could have taken our water back into public ownership. Instead they chose to side with the water companies.

I enjoyed meeting Feargal Sharkey this morning on our visit to the River Beane🌾 But sadly, under the Tories, it’s too often not much more than a ditch of sewage😔 Labour will put a stop to the pollution of our waterways. Here’s our plan: 💧Put failing water companies under special measures to clean up our water 💷Give regulators new powers to block the payment of bonuses to polluter executives 👮‍♀️Bring fines and criminal charges against persistent law breakers Vote for change on Thursday 🌹
