Michael Gove has clearly been taking lessons from Labour's popular manifesto - Long Bailey

Rebecca Long Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, responding to Michael Gove’s comments about the Water Industry, said:

“Michael Gove has clearly been taking lessons from Labour's popular manifesto. However, spouting words will do little to mend our rip-off water system.

“Where the Tories just talk, Labour will take action to tackle the failures of privatisation in our utilities and bring the water companies back into public hands.”
