Dŵr (Water) is a classic Welsh song by Huw Jones. I think that the backing vocals are Heather Jones.

Among Tory voters, 57% back the Government to run utilities and 29% prefer the private sector.

Even Tory voters think that key utilities such as water, rail and power networks should be nationalised, a new poll has found.

The poll, carried out by Ipsos Mori for the ipaper, found broad public support for nationalisation of key utilities, including among Tory voters.

68% of those asked favoured nationalisation of water, with 65% of respondents also saying that railways should be bought under public ownership. 63% said power networks should be publicly owned; and 60% supported a reversal of the privatisation of Royal Mail.

Among Tory voters, 57% back the Government to run utilities and 29% prefer the private sector.

It comes at a time when food and energy prices have been rising amid a cost of living crisis.
