A briefing for your MP.
Mine have in the past cited the idea that public ownership would be expensive. This brief report sets out why that's not the case. One of the implied arguments is that shareholders have taken 13bn in divi's so they've had their compensation by stripping the value out of the company while not really investing in it.

After 40 years of privatisation - ask Makerfield candidates if they support public ownership
#Makerfield by-#election is a referendum on 40 years of #privatisation of life’s essentials.
#Candidates must make it clear where they stand on whether #public #services should work for faraway #shareholders - or for people in Makerfield and ordinary households across the country.

Tell your MP: take action & end NHS corridor care
In #hospitals across the country, #NHS patients are being forced to wait for treatment in #corridors, waiting rooms, queuing #ambulances or even store cupboards.
Corridor care poses huge risks to the #health of patients, as well as the #safety of NHS staff
Thousands of preventable deaths are caused each year by long A&E waits before admission to a ward.

Tell Andy #Burnham to clarify his views on control or ownership of #PublicServices
"Public control" IS NOT public ownership; there're weasel words

Keir Starmer promised public ownership then failed to deliver, so why does it matter what Burnham says?
Burnham is being lobbied hard behind the scenes *not* to commit to public ownership. He needs pressure from the other side to stick to his guns
A promise is better than no promise - it gives you an opportunity to hold Burnham’s feet to the fire in the future
The next few weeks before the by-election in Makerfield give you a chance to put public ownership on the political agenda, proving that it can be delivered affordably, without breaking the bank - our letter to Andy Burnham explains how
We can make sure Andy Burnham knows that public ownership is not just popular; it is also affordable and pragmatic.

People chose between #heating and eating. #Corporations posted record #profits. Nothing changed.
Here we are again.
A private corporation owns the backbone of #Britain's #energy network.
They’re making billions, and we’re all paying for it.

Hold a referendum to bring the water industry into public ownership
Hold a binding national referendum on whether the water industry should be returned to public ownership. Water is a basic human necessity; we believe our privatised system has failed, so the public should decide who owns and controls it.

As a Green, I’m appalled by the damage private water companies are doing—but even if the environment isn’t your priority, they’re still ripping us off. Watch this excellent explainer by Kat at #WeOwnIt, then write to your MP: water should be nationalised, and Thames Water must not dodge environmental fines until 2030. https://youtu.be/zeqr52JCy1w
