Rob Rinder says companies that hold monopolies over water and rail should be nationalised
"It's time to say you're not doing a good job, you're gouging the consumer in profits...it's not a reasonable form of capitalism."
🔥 strap in comrades, the tide is turning.
An action plan is needed TODAY
They are all in the same party, let's call on them to come together for the good of the nation rather than personal point scoring
People's livliehoods, mental wellbeing & in some cases very lives depend on this
This is a desperate
Pls share
The leadership debate must not ignore this portentous national cataclysm any more.
-They can't say they weren't warned
-The excuse "we need to wait for Ofgem figure" doesn't wash. In May govt asked Ofgem for forward guidance & made plans based on that. It can do the same now..
That rise alone swallows up not just £400 help for all homes,but even the £1,200 for the poorest
This will leave many destitute. Tax cuts won't help poorest incl many elderly & disabled who've higher usage
Cutting green levy'd be just tiny sticking plaster on a gaping wound...
These amounts are unaffordable for millions. The Jan figure equates to 45% of the full new state pension, and a higher proportion of the old one.

Tragic news
The latest @CornwallInsight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr)
Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

Thus a form of 👇 coming to YOU! 🤔😡🕷😱

Thank you
