This week Andy Burnham asked the private water company United Utilities to cancel its upcoming dividend to shareholders

This is why we need public ownership - profits automatically reinvested, no need to ask nicely

[DAILY HORROR STUFF | Michael Sellars | Author @HorrorPaperback]

For this scene in Sh! The Octopus (1937) the filmmakers pulled off a real-time monster transformation without a single camera cut.

To turn actress Elspeth Dudgeon into a hideous hag, her face was painted with a single shade of red makeup. Shot on black-and-white film through a matching red lens filter, the makeup became completely invisible.

The filter was whipped away at the same time as Dudgeon removes her wig, instantly revealing the ‘monster make-up’.

Not going to lie, if I'd been in the audience for this in 1937, I would have sh*t myself.

What's the solution to energy bills rising tomorrow, this boiling hot day, the fear people have for their grandkids and the future of this planet? 💡🌍

Buying British is a start but why not British PUBLIC OWNERSHIP of energy, backed by 7 out of 10 of us?

@CatHobbs @EllisReedsGhost It's very weird that he's pointing to Thames Water and saying "you don't just say 'nationalise water'." It's very clear by now that this is exactly what we need to say. If that wasn't obvious before the Thames Water debacle (spoilers: it was!) then it's absolutely obvious now.

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

Andy Burnham says we could have a "localised public control option" for Thames Water

What does that mean? Who is in charge? Where do the profits go?

We need nothing less than permanent PUBLIC OWNERSHIP of Thames Water with households, workers and anti sewage groups on the board

If you're outraged about sewage pollution, channel it #DirtyBusiness

Tell Ofwat to say no to 14 years of illegal sewage that would set a NEW PRECEDENT for the whole of England

For two years @Windrushwasp helped provide the Dirty Business production team with detailed evidence to weave the narrative of a national scandal into a factual drama linking tragedy with criminality and neglect.

Our water industry does not have to be like this but we do not blame the staff, we blame the big bosses.

@WaterWaysProtct @CatHobbs @We_OwnIt If it's just the case that you're opinionated about this and feel strongly about it, then please stop investing so much time and energy in trying to publicly attack and undermine people who are also campaigning for full public ownership of water!

[The Midweek Horror Podcast @HorrorMidweek]

@WaterWaysProtct @CatHobbs @We_OwnIt In your video you seem to admit that you do do at least SOME work for bankers/private equity etc, and when you combine that with your recent attacks on people who are campaigning very loudly for public ownership, I can see why people find it a bit weird tbh

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

The Government has said it would cost £99 billion to nationalise the water sector, but refusing shareholders compensation would put the cost of public ownership of water well below this. The true cost in law is closer to zero.

Putting water companies into special administration brings them one step closer to being in public hands.

Let's take back our water.

[Ellis Reed @EllisReedsGhost]

This petition by @We_OwnIt is worth signing now! Thames Water creditors are trying to agree a deal with Ofwat where they can carry on polluting rivers for up to *15 YEARS*. Ofwat will decide on Wednesday. Enough is enough - tell Ofwat to say NO. https://t.co/qiEwIYQGG0

Starting at Labour conference now ! Our event - How Can Labour use Public Ownership to Defeat Reform? With @CatHobbs @LukeTryl @MarkDrakeford @PaulJSweeney and @EmmaBurnell_

Today is the 200th anniversary of the railway

Amazing news that 75% of passenger trips will soon be on publicly owned railway! 🥳🚄

But people need lower fares - why not create a new national railcard to give 1/3 off all journeys? https://t.co/bshlBv3gCd

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

The government is bringing rail franchises into public ownership after 30 years of failed privatisation

But to make this a success they also need to

🚄set up Great British Trains to end the rolling stock rip off
🚄stop wasteful competition
🚄create a national railcard to cut fares
🚄give passengers a real say with a democratic watchdog
🚄INVEST like Switzerland does
