Nationalising water isn’t just about stopping pollution or holding bad actors accountable—it’s about democratic control. It means reinvesting profits into the system rather than into Cayman Islands accounts. It means transparency, accountability, and a service run for people and planet, not shareholders. Public ownership already works, as Feargal Sharkey has repeatedly said. In Scotland, water remains publicly owned and has consistently outperformed the English system in customer satisfaction, leakage rates, and environmental outcomes. Across Europe, more than 235 cities—including Paris and Berlin—have re-municipalised water after failed privatisations. The tide is turning globally; England is just being left behind.
