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

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. »

« Sadiq Khan was pushed to be more progressive thanks to the pressure of the PR-elected assembly. We shifted the Overton window, and now he’s defending renters and cleaning London’s air. »

MP @sianberry.bsky.social on her experience of cross-party cooperation in the London Assembly.

« Cooperation is hard. All cooperation is built from slow relationship building. And therefore you have to try. Nothing in politics is simple. »

Greens Councillor Clare Weightman on whether the Green Party should do cross-party cooperation.

« The long term solution to the rise of the far-right is to end austerity and create a more equal society - the breeding ground for the poison of Farage will dry up. »

« 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. »

Brighton MP @sianberry.bsky.social on the threat of Reform.

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. »
