Water privatisation has been one of the clearest failures of UK policy. For millions of billpayers, weak regulation has let shareholders extract profits while bills soar, debt balloons and sewage pollutes our rivers and coastlines, leaving customers paying more for a worsening service. Here we set out our Watertight Solution - primary legislation that would force the worst offenders into public control fast and give the rest an ultimatum to mutualise or face tougher regulation - would turn water companies into customer-owned, not-for-profit cooperatives, ending the era of extraction and rebuilding a system that finally works for the people rather than profit.

GGF is taking on a keen test of fairness in British politics: Plan 2 student loans. For 5.5 million graduates, frozen repayment thresholds and soaring interest have turned what was meant to be an income‑contingent contribution into a stealth tax that bites hardest on lower and middle earners. Our Graduate Guarantee - raising the repayment threshold to £33,542 and locking in future inflation‑proofing into legislation - would ease the cost‑of‑living squeeze on graduates, restore trust in higher education and rebuild political support for a system that works for those who use it most.

Our new report takes on another live wire of British public life: the BBC. Audiences still believe in the idea of an independent public service broadcaster. But, they’re losing faith in how the BBC is funded, governed and present in their everyday lives. Breaking the Fourth Wall listens to the public and sets out a plan to rebuild trust, modernise the licence fee and put the BBC back at the heart of Britain’s creative future. Read the report to understand the political risks and how to protect the BBC as a world‑leading asset for the whole country.

Britain’s immigration debate is out of control, but it can be fixed. Take Back Control shows that public concern about immigration is often about lost opportunity at home - and that confidence returns when people see investment in British skills and jobs. It sets out practical reforms to link immigration and skills policy, turning immigration from a source of tension into a driver of shared growth.

Reopening the station is about far more than trains. It is a test of whether the Government is serious about backing coastal towns, restoring growth in the South East and tackling the rise of populism in a region where Reform UK is a credible threat.
