Ed Miliband's plan for Great British Energy is brilliant

It would be even better if the government bought British Gas and made it the retail arm of the new company

7.5 million customers would immediately be able to access a PUBLICLY OWNED SUPPLIER and lower bills directly

[New Civil Engineer @ncedigital]

Plans for a publicly owned power company headquartered in Scotland and backed by £8.3bn capitalisaion have been made official through the Great British Energy Bill, which will “help accelerate investment in renewable energy”

The King's Speech:

✅Public control of local buses
✅Public ownership of rail
✅Great British Energy to generate renewable energy

❌No reinstatement of the NHS as a fully public service
❌No plans to bring English water into public ownership
❌The trains themselves stay private

[Johnbosco Nwogbo @NwogboJohnbosco]

"Legislation will be brought forward to establish Great British Energy, a publicly owned clean power company."

Brilliant start. This company should buy back British Gas and use it to supply directly to households across the country.

[Cat Hobbs @CatHobbs]

Labour’s plan for Great British Energy "one of the main public cut-through policies"

Miliband says it won't just be investment vehicle, it will generate clean energy itself

“It speaks to the sense we should own and invest in our own infrastructure” ✊

⚡️ Buying back the big 5 would cost as little as £2.85bn (TUC report), a fraction of the nearly £30bn the govt has spent during the energy crisis.

💡 Instead of paying shareholders £bns, we could be investing in renewables and lowering bills.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

It's obscene.

🤑 British Gas owner Centrica has today reported operating profits of a staggering £2.1bn.

Meanwhile, our bills soar.

⚡️ Energy is an essential public service. Let's bring it into public hands, move away from fossil fuels and put people and planet before profit.

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

Your energy bills have increased by around 60% in the last year and a half

Meanwhile British Gas shareholders have just confirmed their profits and a multi million pound bonus for the boss!

📢Buy back British Gas!

Time for us 🇬🇧 to nationalise energy!

[National Energy Action @NEA_UKCharity]

When average annual #EnergyBills reach £3,000, there will be record numbers of people in #FuelPoverty. Some groups in society will be disproportionately affected by the huge price hikes we have seen recently.

❌ Enough is enough.

Privatisation of public services has made bills and the cost of living more expensive, whilst profits have gone through the roof.

‼️ It’s time we say enough. It’s time for public ownership. ‼️
