Exactly marra, i thought naively that the “working class party” after 14 years of correctly shouting and condemning Energy companies,Big business tax avoidance,Water companies,WASPI sufferers, we would get some action, but no let’s first attack the pensioners and benefits, only to back track after a public backlash……pathetic and shameful

Only those with too much were relatively unaffected by the last budget

Is any party actually going to take action against these energy companies and big corporations who take the piss,everyone appears to condemn and vilify them when in opposition but do sweet FA when in power
Until we get control on donations it carries on. There needs to be an equitable limit on party income and campaigning. It’s all on who can pay the investment in tech. It’s gone far beyond the influence of Murdoch. So the wealthy become untouchable or they make you lose. I’d say the answer to this is critical thinking. I’d put that on the curriculum. It’s why I post so much, so it’s out there. Some people haven’t got the foggiest what goes on.

So what obstacles in your opinion prevent Labour from re-nationalising water and energy companies, which should have never been privatised in the first place

Don’t fully understand the energy scenario but it seems GB energy won’t be a supplier just a generator of electricity. It’s also somehow connected to the crown estate, a likely business venture. EDF have the perfect model. Sell to people like us to make profit for France.

Water, I was told by an ex senior water employee that the government would take on responsibility for things that need fixing that are lined up to be fixed and it would cost and lose money but I’m guessing that will be the case forever in that industry.

Either way, as you say, they should never have been privatised and I think we should also take the railways back in time. They’re all too important. I’d pay for some of it with a combination of windfall tax and fines.

Energy,water, rail,royal mail should and should have been untouchable and that’s coming from someone who believes in the principle of capitalism
