Left: Steve Reed, "Nationalising water companies would cost £100 billion, we'd have to take it from the NHS and Education, and it would take years of legal wrangling" Right: Feargal Sharkey explains how to nationalise water companies without costing the taxpayer a penny
@implausibleblog And yet we could find £475bn at the drop of a hat to bail out the banks in 2008, £37bn for a track and trace system that didn’t work etc. but God forbid that any money should be spent on something that people actually want.
@implausibleblog Absolutely agree with Feargal. It cost next to nothing to nationalise a water company that is bankrupt! Let them go under. Take over the infrastructure (for zero cost) and run it properly as a public service! The BofE can finance investment at a lower than commercial rate!
@implausibleblog Reed is protecting the foreign pension companies that own our water companies. It’s disgusting. @Feargal_Sharkey is to be commended for his actions calling them out. @UKLabour continuing the Tory approach. Roll on 3 years time when Labour will be out
@implausibleblog “A good heart these days is hard to find” in politicians. Feargal is a “reservoir” for the people and Steve Read is “damn” good for the profiteers.
@implausibleblog Why do @SteveReedMP and @GOVUK think they need to "play fair" and repay the owners of the WCs? They've had our money and milked the Cos. Let them bear the debt. Do what @Feargal_Sharkey says. Time to treat your electors fair not the fat cats.
@implausibleblog @SteveReedMP your £100B cost has been debunked eloquently by @Feargal_Sharkey so please stop using it, unless you have some non water company generated evidence to back it, as it embarrassing for you!
@implausibleblog Reed means the shareholders will suffer financially as that's still more important than the customers.
@implausibleblog @Feargal_Sharkey We should put @Feargal_Sharkey in charge as he is the one guy who has a passion for fixing the water situation not just blow hot air like our blood sucking politicians
@implausibleblog The water companies were allowed to raise bills by 25%. Reed is now talking about a Govt buyout of companies that are broke. The companies are worthless. Feargal points the way. Bankruptcy, bona vacantia, and nationalisation. Drop bills by 25% and use the income for maintenance.
@implausibleblog If you thought the last government was full of duplicitous lying grifters, the self proclaimed grown ups in the room running the show are even worse. What a lying bastard he is.
@implausibleblog F**k off @SteveReedMP - pay the profiteering twats nothing, they’ve had their pound of flesh Just compulsory purchase the lot at at figure that takes into account the Billions in Government loans plus interest and the amount they’ve had out in Dividends Time to play hard ball
@implausibleblog Really just shows dishonesty is rife in the new changed @UKLabour @keirstarmer leads by example a man with little morality and lacks values
@implausibleblog Hope that Mr Sharkey heads up the new water regulator. A breath of fresh air to get rid of the stink of sewage and greed of the water companies, their shareholders and their senior management.
@implausibleblog Steve Reed needs sacking.
@implausibleblog There isn't such a way Fergal. You know that. It took many decades into this polluted hot water, and it's going to take decades to fix, clearly so.
@implausibleblog The people are paying for it anyway it would be cheaper nationalised . The privateers have ruined it
@implausibleblog Why pay them anything? Are they the bloody rule makers or not? Tell them we are taking back our water and they are lucky they arent being charged for cleaning the shit out of our waterways
@implausibleblog It wouldn't cost a penny if the government used its majority to pass legislation to confiscate the water companies without legal comeback.
@implausibleblog @Feargal_Sharkey Read is the unbelievable one. Blatantly lied about Scottish Water performance. Needs to be sacked as a minister and an MP.
@implausibleblog @HandfordSteven Reed is a Corp stooge. Only 6% of countries in the world have privatised water. It would cost us nothing.
@implausibleblog @SteveReedMP uses the NHS & Schools as a heart tug ! Why use Net Zero budget £40bn Or drill for oil & gas in Uk waters ! Save £44bn every year buying it from Norway £12bn African aid £4bn Ukraine aid £7Bn hidden secretly for Afghans That just a few the money there !
@implausibleblog Feargal just renationalised water in a few sentences. What are we waiting for @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour ???
@implausibleblog It wouldnt cost £100b, the water companies have fleeced their customers and not given the service they promised so they can be taken back into public ownership without incurring charges, fuck the shareholders.
@implausibleblog Indeed, in fact not nationalising Water has already cost the £80 billion plus dividends extracted by the monopolists
@implausibleblog It would seem that @SteveReedMP needs to be educated about the truth.
@implausibleblog Who do you Believe…Steve Reed who does the bidding of a Zionist & received donations from Israel or Feargal Sharkey who other than wants for everyone clean water & our water to be nationalised gains nothing Solidarity to Feargal Sharkey ✊✊
@implausibleblog It would still cost the taxpayer as we’d have to find the money to invest into the ageing infrastructure.
@implausibleblog More proof that this govt is little better than Tory mk 2. They have done nothing for the people who put them in power, just more of the same .
@implausibleblog Steve talking bollox as always.
@implausibleblog Will Steve Reed acknowledge that Feargal is correct?
@implausibleblog That’s because this Labour government is not looking after our interest. If they did, they would renationalise the water industry. They prioritise shareholders and fat cats over us.
@implausibleblog @BettyBeingBetty I am more inclined to believe Feargal
@implausibleblog We need fergal sharky in charge of water companies. He'll get things done. Not pretend ministers who know absoluty nothing. We need a new government of ordinary people who know, care, and are passionate about our country, not these grifter mps.
