We should make it incumbent on share holders to share the risks of loss as well as the profits, right? #nationalise

#Nationalise utilities and infrastructure

Oh the joys of a capitalist run national rail.

Seats increasingly more uncomfortable, food service poor and high ticket prices.

Since we in the middle of a #ClimateEmergency the UK needs to #Nationalise the #Railways

“Mayors in the north of England are meeting to demand the government “get a grip” on appalling rail services, with TransPennine Express on track to cancel more than 20,000 trains this year.

The operator has so far cancelled about a quarter of services in 2023.”

Tracy Brabin said there was frequent overcrowding on services that do run, and “health and safety issues – the staff are incredibly concerned”.

Centrica profit triples to 3.3 billion, a record high because of soaring energy prices, “paving the way for a 300 million pound share buy-back, sending the company's shares to their highest level in almost four years”. Meanwhile, these companies and their governments say there’s not enough money to invest in green transition.

The easiest way to save every UK householder money in relation to the #CostOfEnergy is to vote, to vote for a party that is willing to either adequately regulate the #EnergyMarket or re-#nationalise the #EnergyCompanies. Are there any #PoliticalParties with such policies?

Ok, fellow #socialist geeks, how do we explain the importance of #protocols over #platforms to non-technical socialists?

I have seen people say things like "it would be better just to #nationalise #twitter" or "#mastodon is for libertarians who fetishise decentralisation", or even just "I wish there was another twitter that didn't have all these different servers like mastodon".

I know protocols are a socialist issue, you know protocols are a socialist issue. How do we persuade?

Avanti cancel trains due to strike action (although not on an actual strike day).

We will refund your tickets, they say.

Just pay us £10 service fee.

Robbery, is what this is. Taking money for providing no service at all.

Nationalise them now. It is in our best interest.

Possibly of most interest to a UK person, but as I recently had cause to review my utility bills for 2021-22, I noticed relatively dramatic price increases were taking place then, around 20-30%. So this year they double and triple that. My concern? They’re using external circumstances to justify punitive profiteering in the uk, as that pattern hints. So why isn’t that the story? #nationalise #ripoffbritain #brexitunicorns

Royal Mail workers are currently taking totally justified industrial action, so there may be a bit of a delay.
