Dr Charlotte Ferriday, a GP in the NHS was asked by a colleague for recommendations of how to encourage ex-GPs back into full time employment. This is her response. 

​New research reveals 835 examples of new public ownership across the globe to inspire us here in the UK!

With less than 24 hours until polling opens, we've asked you to tell us why you're voting for public services tomorrow. A lot of you are understandably very concerned about the state of the NHS, privatised utility companies, railways, Royal Mail and student loans, to name a few. The future of our public services has become a central issue in this election. 

If we want to make sure this country is run for people, not profit, now is the time to act. We can’t waste this opportunity to make our voices heard across the country, and we’ve only got a few days left until election day. Get involved, share our resources, contact your candidates, tell your friends. 

It's fantastic that the Labour party has committed to bringing water into public ownership! This policy is supported by 59% of Leavers and 63% of Remainers.
