Privatising public services must be outlined in a manifesto prior to an election
Since 2010, the Government has privatised a huge number of publicly owned assets. Royal Mail, Eurostar, our shares in RBS, Lloyds Bank and Northern Rock. Most of these sales are facilitated with no accountability. The Royal Mail sell off was largely believed to be under sold by nearly £1 billion
