The Minister for Common Sense said on
#bbcqt
that common sense means "working on behalf of the people to bring pragmatism into politics"
Can we have public ownership of water, energy, buses, rail, Royal Mail and NHS please? (1/2)

Interestingly, the Minister did praise Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen for bringing the airport into public ownership
And she said common sense was about not working in silos
Time for public services for people not profit! (2/2)
Please watch Esther McVery explain what the Minister for Common Sense is on

Public ownership and public control. No more underhand dealing by corrupt politicians.

If we can’t get a publicly owned Royal Mail, I’d love for other couriers to be regulated by Postcom, and face the same fines for failure to meet a universal service order.

Now do a poll but tell them how much it will cost to have all that in public ownership!

Now tell everyone how much tax money they would need to put in to buy these back and see what their response would be. Shell and BP alone will cost us a quarter of a trillion at current value.

Nationalisation - in Britain anyway ,,,is a recipe for inefficiency - strikes - Union trouble - and generally poor service !

Some of us are old enough to remember all those services when they were publicly owned. We also remember how awful & inefficient they were. Why? Because they were run on our behalf by civil servants. Government has an appalling record at running services. We must not go back.
