14years of shamelessly feathering their own nests. The Tories have set our nation’s health into a near terminal decline. They have cynically defunded healthcare. Watch Sir Michael Marmot (below) speak truth to the abusers of power. Bevan knew what they were - never trust them again.

We had a promise that things would get better but that promise isn’t being delivered.
In the UK -
Life expectancy is going down! Health is getting worse for the poorest people.
Destitution, Food insecurity - scurvy, rickets, is in hospitals

Adults - we are messing up, people have lost hope, and we are not creating a future that will be better for our children and grandchildren, says a sombre Sir Michael Marmot.

Neoliberalism isn’t working - we know we can do better.

'The golden generation, those born between 1925 and 1934, saw remarkable improvements in mortality throughout their lifetimes,22 but the remainder of their lives were cut short since 2010'

Public health is all our responsibility
