Privatisation of public industries is a proven failure.

John Dunkley, Sheffield

Great campaign. How to achieve it needs to be thought through carefully, but there has to be a better way of doing these things than we have at present. More imagination.

John Lee, Cupar

It’s about time the British people were helped by this government.

David Blandford, Nomansland

Another area for re-nationalisation without compensation.

Brian Potter, Birmingham

We don’t want more choice. We just want better service, of benefit to both individuals and companies, serving the economy as a whole, not just shareholders.

Peter Moss, Birmingham

Everyone needs energy and at a cost that protects and enhances life, rather than simply unearned dividend payments which are used to make rich people even richer.

George Davies, Darwen

Energy profits should be invested in energy re-vitalisation, not to line the pockets of company bosses and shareholders.

Stephen Swanton, Leeds

The utilities were sold off far too cheaply.

John Malcolm, Mayfield

The experiment of privatised energy has failed beyond a reasonable doubt. It claimed competition would deliver the most affordable prices.

Arete Tssiktsa, Salisbury

Get back to sanity.

Norman Wall, Wallsend

It’s time we stopped treating our neighbours as competitors, and for politicians playing the electorate off against each other. Let’s come together for the common good.

Steve Jarvis, Westbury

I support the dream but has anyone any idea of the cost of re-nationalising?

Rob Seed, Worcester

You’ve had your time fat cats.

William Hunt, Southport

As Midnight said: The time has come. A fact’s a fact – It belongs to them. Let’s give it back.

Tom Conway, Derby

Give the money back that you have overcharged consumers.

Steve Gordon, Bedford

I’m fed up with the fat cat chairman making a mint while my bills still go up and up.

Michael Oram, Dorchester

No-one should be profiting out of the essentials of life; any surplus should be going back into the public purse.

Julia Hector, Stirling

The family silver has been sold. Now most of us have to suffer the consequences, apparently. Still, the front bench millionaires are happy, along with their city friends.

Lenard Hughes, Hitchin

We have sold off too many of our utilities that should be owned by the taxpayers. Water, Gas, Electricity are all owned by foreigners.

Barbara Cowle, Wirral

Things that everyone needs to survive should not be subject to profits for a few.

Elizabeth Walthew, Duns

The time has come for the downfall of the greedy Big Six, who are more than content to leave pensioners to freeze to death in their homes should they dare to eat vs heat.

Jamie Bolam Scott, Nottingham

The more of us unite and speak out the better.

Pippa Richardson, Swansea

Nothing good ever came from privatisation.

Rebecca Lush Blum, Southampton

Sounds good to me.

Jane Taylor, Doncaster

The bullies at the Big Six must be stood up to.

Gavin Sibthorpe, London

This is a strong possibility if we all stick together.

Ollie Abdullah, Essex

Energy for public good not private profit.

Brian Smith, Stockton Brook

Put energy suppliers back into public ownership.

Ray Colley, Sheffield

Re-nationalise all energy.

Jennifer Gray, Bristol
