A publicly owned energy generation company is the way forward.Comment on Facebook
I've said it before. You don't need to compensate Nationalisation, if you create a company to compete with them. Just as the Labour Party should have done when it bailed out the banks. They could have turned them into State Banks, and undercut the others.
Are the New Tesla Towers Up and Running yet ?
Except that they haven't actually done it, [not being in power], but only "pledged" to do so !! And we all know from two and a half years' sad experience, [and the Starmenfuhrer's own mouth], what the lying toe-rag's pledges are worth !!!!
Localise energy you also localise power
This appears a vastly over optimistic piece without knowing more details. Starmer claimed it would be a publicly owned company, but just creating a company means very little. We need to know how investment there will be in this company, or more to the point, how much energy it's planned to generate. Starmer being Starmer means he'll say _anything_ to get elected. It's not beyond him to create the company, but then not fund it, so it's not producing enough energy to actually make a difference. What's more, if it's "publicly owned" but paid for by PFI, or private borrowing, it still leaves the company beholden to the private sector. We need to know how it's going to be funded, how much money it will have, and what the plans are for how much energy it's going to produce... ... otherwise it could all be hot air. And Starmer is no stranger to that. And without wanting to pass the buck, because We Own It already do so much, it's down to people like yourselves to be asking these questions, because The Labour Party won't answer me if I ask.

It's a scam.
Our #EnergyBills will be double what we paid last winter. And Liz Truss just picked our pockets to boost energy companies profits by another £130 billion.
We pay the price for their profits. We say #DontPay - pledge to strike now 👉 dontpay.uk ... See MoreSee Less

It's time for a mass uprising.
The big private energy companies fall like dominoes at Power to the People Glasgow's demo outside Ofgem's offices. No more propping up their profits. It's time to #renationalise! ✊ ... See MoreSee Less

It wasn’t completely Thatcher - she famously would not privatise water, railways or the Royal Mail. Major and Blair did a lot of the weird other sell offs and Vince Cable the Lib Dem flogged the post off at half price!! And all blamed Thatcher…….
Its taken forty years for Thatcher's Privatisation policies to fall down. And it could have been a lot sooner, with the right type of Labour Party.

Just as Labour should have done with the Banks. Run it in competition with the others. And drop the prices.

Instead of siphoning off profits to private shareholders, state utility companies could tackle the cost of living and climate crisis, says Cat Hobbs, founder of We Own ItComment on Facebook
He's the best Tory leader in the contest!
Labour won’t get elected as long as he is the leader. Mister no personality
The more I hear from him the more I think he's in the wrong party
He wasnt caucious when he stated it as a top policy when he was standing to be leader then when elected never to be heard of again while vissiting murdoch 1st person
About Twenty seven ago, Tony Blair amended Clause Four of the Labour party constitution, ending the party’s commitment to mass nationalisation. The historic vote, held at the Methodist Central Hall, Westminster, where the original clause was adopted in 1918, marked a significant victory for Blair and the New Labour project - by winning the vote the Labour leader had a green light to modernise the party, making it more attractive to middle class voters ahead of the 1997 general election. Speaking afterwards, Blair said: ‘Let no one say radical politics is dead. Today a new Labour Party is being born.’ For those on the left wing of the party the vote only confirmed how willing Labour was to jettison its socialist past to get elected.
How does sacking your shadow minister for being on a picket line help ?
Theyre being cautious as the majority of people in Britain are greedy, selfish, I'm allright jackers, who dont give a toss about redistribution of wealth. Lab needs some of those votes.
