I too support the re-nationalisation of energy supply in the UK.

Claire Goodes, Ashford

Honesty and integrity. Be the first with these values.

Steve Brooks, Finedon

Everything has been said. I, like many others, am tired of corporate business profits being placed before the genuine need of the British people.

Stella Davies, Wrexham

Fuel to keep warm, heat water and cook food should be affordable for all. Re-nationalise the energy firms. People before profits.

Sheila Wiggins, Bournemouth

Energy companies should be brought to task.

Rita Thirsk, Beverley

Give us our utilities back now.

Col Farrell, Liverpool

Profit from privatisation is given to shareholders whereas profits from nationalisation is re-invested to improve the system. Government has ultimate control, not fat cats.

Karl Snowdon, Gateshead

Power to and for the people. Let’s move society forward.

Martin Catchpole, Ipswich

Renationalise the energy utilities please.

Gaby Weiner, Lewes East Sussex

Energy should not be privately owned as profits go to shareholders first. Also those on the lowest incomes and on pre-pay meters pay the most for their fuel.

Casey Tremain, Portsmouth

Utilities should be in public hands and not those of profit-seeking, and often foreign, owners.

Geoffrey Telfer, Baildon, Shipley

It is impossible to have a fair utility supply in the private sector – let’s take it back.

Gill Page, Richmond

Tell Sid he’s a thief.

Ray Butler, Manchester

It cannot be right that businesses make huge profits from energy.

John Crawford, Burscough

What’s the point of disrupting a well run system for the sake of political ideology? Save the money for the councils that are having to make budget cuts.

Philip Cheung, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Our country should be run by the majority vote of the people not the MPs and fat cats. We are the ones who pay their wages.

Ryan Curtis, Bristol

It is about time the ownership of the electricity and gas industries was passed to the people of the country.

Philip Cumberland, Peterborough

This has ripped off the ordinary people long enough.

Pauline Hacker, Preston

Energy to serve the sustainable needs of the many, not the short-term profit of the elite few.

Andrew Duncan, Exeter

The increases over the last few years show that this government is only interested in big business as usual. Disgraceful.

William Ryan, Manchester

We need water, gas, electric and the banks – back in public ownership and get this country back on track!

Jamie Bramwell, Cheshire

Giving the private sector monopolies is the most stupid thing, amongst many, the Tories ever did.

Niall Clifford, Yeovil

Power is too important to be left to private business.

Toby Ray, London

Our energy needs to be renewable and prices need to be fairer for all.

Laura Long, Leeds

Bring back nationalised power for the people of Britain and stop these greedy giants lining their pockets.

Sue Stacey, Stockport

Bring back the CEGB and area boards and not the private companies, mainly from abroad, fleecing the British taxpayers.

Alan Newstead, Eastleigh

Start with the railways, then re-nationalise gas, water and electricity. Hands off the Royal Mail too!

Iain Logan, Liverpool

Our energy supply is fundamental to our society and should be owned by our society.

John Hoyle, Kettering

Why has it taken so long to get started? The Tories are always fast enough pushing their privatisation schemes through parliament without asking for anyone’s opinions.
