🤔You want your government to be popular?

💡Why not try doing something that's popular with the public.

Most of us want to see public ownership across a range of public services.

It was true at the last general election. It's true now.

On Tuesday 10th Feb there will be a debate in Parliament around the Governments vision for the water sector. We dont think their plan will go far enough to end sewage pollution.

Ask your MP to attend the debate and support MPs calling for better from our water system.

The Railways Bill is making its way through Parliament. But it’s missing 4 vital ingredients that would make it truly work for passengers, not private profiteers:

1 Bring Rolling Stock into public ownership
2 Lower fares
3 Re-opening closed lines
4 Listen to passengers and give them a voice.
