We need REAL PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Jack Rankin, Conservative MP for Windsor, calls for special administration of Thames Water 👇

Chris Hinchliff MP standing in Parliament Square in front of a row of protesters, with The Queen Elizabeth Tower in the background. He is holding a placard which reads "Great British Railcard. Entitles ALL passengers to a third off full ticket prices."

🔥"The first thing every GB Rail passenger should notice is a cheaper ticket. Nationalisation doesn’t just mean a new logo on the front of the train. Public ownership has to put more money in people's pockets.”

We're ready for our Tug of War!

On one side: passengers, the economy, nature and the environment + @chris nhinchcliffe and @richard burgon - standing up for an improved Railways Bill.
On the other: the profiteers and politicians who don't share their vision for Great British Railways.

Tug of War stunt on Parliament Square. A rural commuter holds a placard headed 'Great British Rail', which says 'entitles ALL passengers to a third off rail ticket prices.

Tug of War on Parliament Square. On one side of the tug of war: passengers, including commuters and leisure passengers, disabled passengers, rural passengers, older passengers, parents and grandparents with children plus the economy, nature and the environment (exciting costumes and signs welcome!) On the other side: private rail interests who are clinging onto our railway, including profit-making companies like First Group, and the private rolling stock outfits that own our trains, alongside John Major (the Prime Minister who privatised our railway).

Tug of War protesters: a commuter holds up a placard saying "your fares could have been cut by 12.6% since 2022 using the money that went to shareholders"

Richard Burgon MP, in front of a line of protesters, is holding a placard saying 'Private companies are trying to cling on to our railways. Heidi Alexander - close the privatisation loopholes in the Railways Bill.'

Our Tug of War outside Parliament highlights the savings that could be passed on to passengers if profits weren't being gouged out by the Rolling Stock companies.
