Milestones

Pass a bill to make water, energy and transport companies invest a set amount in infrastructure before paying out shareholders. Introduce a new performance index that they must surpass before profits can be taken out of the companies, or consumer prices can be raised.

Water - nearly half a million sewage spills last year, and water bills have increased Energy - Record profits during the energy crisis, government intervention to help pay energy bills, with the tax payer footing the bill while shareholders get big bonuses. Transport - Awful infrastructure and soaring costs to the public whilst shareholders can take profits out of the companies instead of making the service more reliable.
