Andy Burnham's plan to bring UK utilities into public control

Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, is reportedly planning to bring swathes of UK utilities, including water and energy, back under public control if he becomes prime minister. The decade-long project aims to improve performance and reduce consumer bills, potentially mirroring models in Berlin and Paris. Critics warn of significant taxpayer costs, while Burnham has pledged to adhere to existing borrowing rules and not raise income tax, VAT, or national insurance.
