Today, the Prime Minister @andyburnham set out how this Labour Government will put the country on a new path that will allow people in Portsmouth to hope again. We are breaking with the flawed thinking of the last 40 years by delivering more public control of the basics, more power for people and places, and good growth in every postcode. 👴🏼 Establishing a National Care Service to provide free personal care for older people 🚰 Repealing the ideological ban on public ownership of water companies, paving the way for greater public control of failing water companies ⚡ Introducing Great British Grid, a publicly owned body that will improve competition, accelerate grid connections for businesses, support reindustrialisation and drive down bills 🏠 Empowering local authorities to make compulsory purchases of properties that fall below acceptable standards and where landlords have refused to make improvements
