Let us return to a fair sharing of wealth and freedom.

Peter Canham, Hitchin

Free market capitalism is not the best way for everything and is certainly not the optimal philosophy for providing essential services to a country’s population.

Cristian Gurran, Rotherham

All makes sense to me. Do it now.

Matt Haskins, London

This is very important – do not ignore the voices of your people.

Simon Roberts, London

Re-nationalise it all. It should all be owned by and run for all the people – not thieves and shareholders.

Simon Williams, Sutton

Bring back the CEGB. They would have solved the reduction of CO2 problem, got nuclear generation, got safe generation margins etc.

John Exon, Harrogate

Profiteering based on the sale of a commodity which is essential to life and basic human comfort is outrageous. Nationalisation would end this.

Neil Cameron, Sheffield

Privatisation has been bad for everybody apart from the very rich. The country has gone to the dogs since things were privatised.

Ken Horn, Swadlincote

A publicly owned energy provider will show up the lie that competition has been good for consumers, just as East Coast has on the railways.

Tom Warnett, Slough

It’s time to stop the greed.

Michaela Armstrong, Manchester

Having just six energy companies, the market place is madness and allowing them to make huge profits from working-class families should not be allowed.

Frederick Johnson, Barry

Re-nationalise all energy.

Jennifer Gray, Bristol

End the corruption of the energy cartel.

David Berriman, St Leonards on Sea

Energy for the public, not for profit! Besides, if it makes a profit, surely this would be better invested in the country than in shareholders pockets.

Richard Robinson, Scarborough

Re-nationalise and rationalise the energy sector. As long as companies can make a profit exploiting natural resources they will continue to do so.

Julia Callow, Bournemouth

Tory MPs are only concerned with making the rich richer at the expense of the poor. Equality? No.

Brian Stephens, Sunderland

Something must be done. They are all raking in extreme profits from us poorer people.

Nigel Rogers, Chester

All utilities should belong to the people, not profit-making private companies.

John Warburton, Treuddyn

This needs to happen. The greedy capitalists have taken the rug from under us and left fellow members of our nation with the difficult choice of heating or eating.

Chris Yates, Northwich

It is immoral for individual and corporate fat cats to profit so obscenely from peoples’ need simply to stay warm. All energy companies should be renationalised now.

Judith Maizels, Bushey

Of all the public services this has the strongest link between modern day human needs and climate change. We cannot leave it to the greedy pigs to manage.

David Lyons, Aylesbury

Services by the people for the people. Bring the energy and water companies back into public ownership.

Gareth Brown, Rugby

I prefer the country’s energy supply in the hands of politicians and not capitalists, but the margin is very slight.

Maggie Lewis, Waltham on the Wolds

Time for re-nationalisation of the energy industry. Consumers should come first, not a bunch of faceless shareholders who put their own profit first.

John Reilly, Glasgow

No profit should be taken from providing people with essential services.

David Farmer, Yorkshire

All in it together, again.

Graham Huntington, York

I’ve made the first step by ditching the big companies. I’ve moved my account to Co-operative energy, the first step to bring excessive profits back to members.

Geoff Walker, Stoke On Trent

All the fuel companies are rogues.

Maria Nelson, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Enough is enough of foreign companies owning our utilities and holding people to ransom.

Tony North, Warrington
