privatisation has demonstrably failed repeatedly unless your aim is to make money for rich people.
Or if your aim is to provide a quality service in a market capable of genuine competition. See telecoms, commercial transport/freight.

Nationising all the stuff that's been sold privatised is definitely good
It’s arguable. Some cases better than others.
It’s probably not a good idea to campaign on privatising all the things if you’d like to win the popular vote. Pick the best case, campaign on that.

They're really not hard left policies, they're sensible, non neo-Liberal policies. Nationising all the stuff that's been sold privatised is definitely good, privatisation has demonstrably failed repeatedly unless your aim is to make money for rich people. The broadband thing is still a decent idea in my mind, if not currently as important as sorting the railways, it's along the same lines but more forward thinking.
