The Labour council in Lewisham has passed a motion including special administration and nationalisation as solution to Thames Water's crisis.

The Government must realise that people won't stand for private companies failing to run our public services.

Public ownership is needed now.

Privatised water companies are putting your bills up AGAIN.

As if the already agreed £104bn in rises by 2030 wasn't enough, companies have asked for up to 18% more in your bills.

Public ownership is the only option. The arguments against are drying up.

« We can decide that we are the one solution to the problem, or that we are but one part of that solution. My instinct is that the Green Party is more about the latter. »

« A lot of people are asking us about Your Party. It’s too soon to say whether we can build electoral alliances. We need to see what they stand for & build trust & relationships.

For the time being, it’s a positive there’s more voices on the Left. »

« Reform UK in the last council elections used extremely targeted social media advertising - that cost a lot of money.

We can’t just replicate that through normal leafleting. »

When asked how she feels about the Green Party, councillor Clare Weightman said:

« It feels right now that, unlike the Labour Party, the Greens have a vision. They’re telling a different story, not just being technocratic about things. Zack Polanski’s speech today showed that. »
