    1. Why would ‘nationalisation of all UK utilities’ lower bills? The shareholders, now our government will still want their cut.

      There is another way. Make our “UK utilities” a not-for-profit. With ant surplus kept by the utility. This surplus can then be invested in repairs, infrastructure, rainy day, training, wages etc.

      I’m all for it as long as they also get rid of the marginal pricing system.

      About 10% of a bill are green levies, so, a plan in place to reduce this in line with the % produced by green methods would be beneficial

      Nationalise them now, increase Government debt and a tax hike.

      4 years later, Farage and Reform, sell them off to lower tax and decrease debt.

      I don’t think nationalizing UK utilities will reduce bills.

      It’s shitty economics and it’s not true.

      One aspect about rail nationalisation not often discussed is the privatisation of the rolling stock companies, they are the one renting trains to train operators, which are partially nationalised. If we want a proper nationalised rail system, we need to make sure it’s thorough across the entire industry

      Nationalise with what money? Poorly thought-through vibes-based bollocks

      Keep speaking Zack, keep giving us some hope that isn’t xenophobic ethnonationalism. We need the alternative and old parties are clearly dead weight against a far right promising the earth.

      Yeah, because that will help. What a numpty. Nationalisation isn’t the answer. Regulate utilities fairly and stop them taking the piss. It isn’t hard.

      Will increase prices either on bills or taxes. You’ll need to fund the nationalisation as you will pay, you’ll also take the debt they have. Plus, the capex required to do maintenance that is required.

      Also, govt will use it as a jobs program and over hire.

      Utilities don’t really make much profit on the grand scheme.

      It’s just pie in the sky in the same way Reform are making populist promises that they can’t keep
