When Andy Burnham became PM he immediately started pushing the idea of renationalising many of our services. He felt the state can run things better than private industry. Well the first results are in for the rail sector and they are NOT good. A 20% fall in trains arriving in time. Down from a respectable 94% under private control to 73% under state control. With C2C over a quarter of trams are now late. Does that inspire confidence that the state or this government, who have absolutely ZERO business people within it, should run more of our services. That is not to say the private sector have done a great job, in water for instance they’ve been useless. But believing centralised government appointed managers will do better is simply fantasy.
